Slashing time to market is critically important for companies competing in the e-commerce space. eGain was an early mover in this segment and, as a result, has built the service expertise and critical mass of customers to become a leader for online customer service applications. The company’s success in hosting not only reflects the growing use of Application Service Providers, but also validates eGain’s visionary approach to customer service. By dramatically cutting front-end equipment, software and IT costs, application hosting dramatically reduces the time it takes a company to implement a solution.”

Ragsdale’s Eye on Service (blog) – Catch up with eGain: New Applications Released in Version 7.6
“I have known some of the folks at eGain from the early days. eGain got their start with email response management systems (ERMS) back in 1998… Interestingly, unlike most of the players in this space, eGain has kept the same core executive team for many years, and this has helped them have a consistent vision and not go after every new trend and buzzword….
“Obviously, eGain has moved way beyond ERMS, now offering a full suite of ‘best of breed’ eService tools, including knowledgebase, diagnostics, web chat and collaboration, etc., but I still think they understand the complexities of email—which continues to grow in volume according to SSPA Benchmark Metrics—better than most.”
John Ragsdale, VP of Research, SSPA

“The primary market that eGain plays in—collaborative CRM—is one of the faster moving CRM markets. With so many companies building online customer service capabilities, we project a 54% average market growth for the next five years for the type of solutions that eGain provides. eGain’s early attention to the requirements of global customer service positions it to address the requirements of companies with global customers as well as emerging global service organizations.”
Tim Hickernell, Senior Program Director, META Group CRM Infusion

“eGain has from the very start focused on developing Web-based customer communications solutions that can be rapidly and easily hosted. Simply attaching a Web-browser front-end to existing client-server (and earlier) applications doesn’t cut it. The future belongs to Web-architected applications that have best-of-breed functionality and access and aggregate resources both inside and outside the corporate firewall.”
Christopher Fletcher, Director CRM, Aberdeen Group
“In addition to maintaining a strong customer service platform, co-innovation with customers—along with an extensive partnering network—has allowed eGain to develop and deliver best-of-breed customer interaction tools.”
