  • Leading provider of integrated professional support services to deploy unified desktop solution to increase efficiencies and streamline customer service operations 

London - 14th December 2006 - Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimisation solutions for customer service operations, today announced that two of Capita's regional business centres have selected Jacada WorkSpace, a unified customer service desktop solution to maximise performance in their customer service operations.

Capita, the UK's leading provider of integrated professional support services, continuously seeks innovative solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its contact centre operations. To continue its market-leading customer service initiatives and extend its competitive differentiation for one of its largest client contracts, Capita sought a solution that would enable its customer service representatives (CSRs) to better service customers, bridging together all desktop applications and tools they use for greater accessibility and simplified processes, resulting in greater customer and CSR satisfaction. Capita selected Jacada WorkSpace to improve the customer experience by creating a central interaction point for the CSR.

"Customer service excellence is a key distinguishing factor for Capita today, and our desire to cultivate the highest level of customer satisfaction for our clients is paramount," remarked Mike Minahan, Customer Services Director for Capita. "We selected Jacada WorkSpace as a customer service desktop solution in two business centres in order to provide our CSRs a central point of activity for more expedient call handling and to streamline many of the complex processes that are presently performed in numerous disparate applications."

"Capita is highly reputed as an organisation that delivers high quality service and support for its clients," commented Paul O'Callaghan, president of Jacada. "Capita is one of many companies that we have encountered in the contact centre market that has identified desktop complexity as a key customer service obstacle, and we are excited that they have chosen Jacada to address their needs for a strategic unified customer service desktop."
