MarketTools Recognized for Technology that Enables Businesses to Achieve Outstanding Results in Customer Experience

SAN FRANCISCO––March 11, 2011—MarketTools, Inc., the leader in software and services for enterprise feedback management (EFM) and market research, has been recognized as a “Hot” vendor in the 2011 Value Index for Customer Experience Management: Customer Feedback Management report. The Value Index report, compiled by Ventana Research, a benchmark research and advisory services firm, recognizes MarketTools for outstanding achievement in the seven categories evaluated in the Index. Ventana assessed five product-related categories including the usability, manageability, reliability, capability and adaptability of the MarketTools solution, and the two customer assurance categories of vendor validation and total cost of ownership/return on investment (TCO/ROI).

“We are committed to helping companies gain the insights they need to positively affect customer loyalty and value,” said Scott Arnold, President and CEO of MarketTools, Inc. “This recognition by Ventana Research demonstrates that our MarketTools CustomerSat solution delivers what customer-centric companies need to improve the customer experience.”

Ventana Research’s Value Index examined a number of vendor capabilities across numerous channels of customer interactions, ranging from survey development to operations, in order to gain insight into vendors’ voice of the customer and feedback loop methods. The methodology used to produce this Value Index evaluated aspects of product functionality and suitability-to-task, as well as the effectiveness of vendor support for the buying process and customer assurance. The Index, presented graphically as a simple thermometer, and as a precise index percentage, reflects the value offered by a vendor and its products.
