Enkata, a leading provider of on-demand performance and talent management solutions, today congratulates its customer, Chase Card Services, the credit card division of JPMorgan Chase, for winning the 2007 Performance Management Leadership Award from analyst firm Ventana Research. Implementation of the Enkata solution by Chase has allowed the financial services leader to raise the bar of customer experience and improve customer satisfaction.

"Chase is not satisfied with status quo or moderate improvement," said Deb Walden, executive vice president, Customer Care, Chase Card Services.

Chase is known for outstanding customer service and investment in Enkata has enabled us to address a critical, yet previously challenging determiner of world-class customer service -- resolving customer inquiries on the first attempt. We are delighted with the results we are seeing in reduced callbacks, customer satisfaction and employee morale."

With millions of customers placing more than 80 million calls a year, Chase set a goal to deliver more effective customer service and to improve its First Call Resolution.

Since installing Enkata, Chase has seen a significant improvement in its First Call Resolution, translating into millions of dollars in savings and more satisfied customers.

This has created a more collaborative and effective environment in its call centers," said Dave Stamm, president and CEO, Enkata. "Enkata has enabled Chase to create a continuous process for improving the performance of its customer-facing employees that helps it to increase customer satisfaction and cut costs. With millions in anticipated savings, and tremendous improvements it has implemented to its call center's performance, Chase exemplifies the kind of success Enkata delivers to its customers.
