<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><em>Company enhances call center services portfolio with customer self-service offerings</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Overland Park, KS (Vocus) December 18, 2009 &#8212; CXO Global Solutions (<a href="http://www.cxogs.com/" target="_blank">http://www.cxogs.com</a>), a managed services firm specializing in unified communications and managed call center operations, today announced it has acquired Florida-based S3 Integrity (<a href="http://www.s3integrity.com/" target="_blank">http://www.s3integrity.com</a>), the developer and distributor of the WuLi Solution™, a proprietary customer self-service business process and technology. The agreement will be effective January 1, 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The company also announced that Mike Tripp, S3 Integrity’s chief executive officer, will join CXO Global Solutions as president. Tripp will be responsible for the day-to-day operations and strategy for the call center oversight and management portions of CXO. Bryan DiGiorgio continues as CXO Global Solutions chief executive officer, driving the strategy of the parent company, as well as the operations and strategy for the non-call center lines of business.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The S3 Integrity WuLi Solution™ provides clients with web-based customer self-service solutions designed to improve their customers’ experience while reducing operating expenses. The unique solution provides clients with the means to analyze the drivers of customer service calls, and then creates web-based multi-media content to address those questions and issues. This enables the customers to find answers/solutions through the easy-to-use WuLi portal, eliminating the need to call customer service. While many companies focus on resolving a customer’s issue on the first call, the WuLi Solution™ allows them to take customer satisfaction to a new level by providing pre-contact resolution – a tangible market advantage.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tripp is a 20-plus year veteran in customer management and business process outsourcing. He has extensive experience within the financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, consumer electronics, logistics and business process outsourcing sectors. He has led customer management operations for CBS SportsLine and multi-client BPO operations for well-known organizations, including APAC Customer Services and Sprint Telecenters. He will relocate from Orlando to the Kansas City area.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“We are excited about adding S3 Integrity&#8217;s capabilities into CXO’s service offering. The WuLi Solution’s self-service capability is a strong addition to CXO’s client solutions and complements our core set of call center management capabilities. This enables us to deliver a complete one-stop solution for our clients’ customer experience needs,” says DiGiorgio. “We’re also very glad to welcome Mike to the management team. He brings a great deal of experience and expertise and will be a strong addition.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>About CXO Global Solutions</strong> (<a href="http://www.cxogs.com/" target="_blank">http://www.cxogs.com</a>)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">CXO Global Solutions is a leader in enterprise communications systems and managed contact center operations. The company provides consulting, telephony, unified communications, managed contact center solutions, and related services to leading businesses and organizations. Companies of all sizes depend on CXO Global Solutions for state-of-the-art communications and operations that improve efficiency, customer acquisition and retention, collaboration and competitiveness. Through its wholly owned subsidiary WorkSpace Communications™ (<a href="http://myucworkspace.com/" target="_blank">http://myucworkspace.com</a>), CXO Global Solutions delivers telephony and Microsoft-based unified communications on a subscription basis to the small- and medium-sized business segment. </p>

<description><![CDATA[Traveling to spend this Christmas with family may cost you a good sum of time and money. That seems ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Traveling to spend this Christmas with family may cost you a good sum of time and money. That seems to be not a good choice, especially when you don’t have enough time and need to save money for some more important plans. How would you like to be able to see them when they open their Christmas gifts from you? The answer is you can do it with the help of video chatting. Here below is how you can do it.</p>
<p>No More Long Distant Phone Calls</p>
<p>First, you will need to have a webcam plugged into any of USB ports in your PC or laptop. Most new computers already have one, but if yours doesn&#8217;t, you can pick one up at most stores and it may cost you around $100 for a good quality one. Then you will easily plug it into an empty USB slot. If you have a PC and also have a laptop, just decide which computer you will want to use. The laptop is sometimes preferred because you can walk around the house while chatting; even you can sit it on a table or somewhere and chat as you are cooking dinner. So each member in your family can have more private time with the distant family members.</p>
<p>Next, you will need to use some chat provider. I think the top are <em><a href="http://www.aol.com/" target="_blank">AOL</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx" target="_blank">Microsoft</a></em>, <em><a href="http://my.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en/" target="_blank">Skype</a> </em>; you can download them from the Internet. Check each out and then register an account with the one you prefer; they are often free and easy. You may also need to check to see if your family also uses the same chat provider, because you and your family will need to use the same provider to be able to chat.</p>
<p>The Fun Showtime of Santa Clause</p>
<p>Once you have downloaded and installed the chatting software, just start the program, sign in and you can start talking to your family. Also check with your chat provider as some allow you to create groups and you can video chat with more than one group at a time. If your family has some kids, you can make some fun for them through video chatting. You can try <em><a href="http://www.audio4fun.com/webcam-morpher.htm" target="_blank">AV Webcam Morpher</a></em>, a fun software program that allows users to be creative in online activities. The program will simulate a webcam to broadcast for you through nickfaces. You can create your own nickfaces or use <em><a href="http://www.audio4fun.com/nickfaces.htm" target="_blank">pre-made nickfaces</a></em> to change your online appearance.</p>
<p>The program not only provides you with pre-made nickfaces but also brings you tools to create more nickfaces by yourself. Use the program to prepare for the kids a show called “Santa Clause’s Showtime” on video chatting. There is a Santa Clause nickface available to download at <em><a href="http://www.audio4fun.com/nickfaces.htm">http://www.audio4fun.com/nickfaces.htm</a></em> or create your own nickface for the show. When the kids open their Christmas gifts from you, with just a click, you will change into Santa and say Merry Christmas and best wishes to them. You will make the kids really surprised and excited.</p>
<p>You should set up a time that you will be video chatting with your family and before that time, gather up your Christmas cards and gifts from them, family pictures and letters, etc. and make a list of stories and things that you want to tell them. If you will be visiting them on the Christmas day, find a comfy chair and a pot of tea and turn on a little Christmas music and enjoy the time with your family.</p>
<p>You will feel like your family is by your side and you never feel lonely in Christmas thanks to video chat. Not only in Christmas, you can feel very near to your <em>family </em>everyday with the help of <em>video chat</em><em>. </em>No more long distance and loneliness.</p>
<p>Be Happy and Merry Christmas!</p>

<p>Dear all </p>
<p>We seem to have come to a brick wall with midweek training, despite everyone&#8217;s efforts to help and accommodate us we have not been able to confirm anything regular. I would suggest we have to stick to Sunday morning training at Woodside, this is also free so suits the club bank account. </p>
<p>Sorry about this, if it changes I will let you all know but for the foreseeable future it is training on Sundays, 10.30 at Woodside. </p>
<p>See you there, </p>
<p>Jason</p>

<p>If that sounds like you, next week <strong>from 16th to 22nd November</strong> is <a href="http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/students/yourcareeroptions/beyourownboss/enterpriseweek/">Global Enterprise Week</a> and there are various different events and activities <!--more-->you can get involved in here at the University and in Manchester generally, whether you have an interest in starting your own business or freelancing now or at some point in the future, or even if you just have a vaguely entrepreneurial streak.</p>
<p>For example, on <strong>Wednesday 18th November 12.30-4pm</strong> there&#8217;s a <a href="http://makeithappen.flyingstartonline.com/public/home/details/13">FlyingStart &#8216;Make it Happen&#8217; day</a> at the Manchester Conference Centre on Sackville Street, which includes workshops on idea creation, getting your business idea off the ground, and lots of practical advice on starting a business or freelancing. The organisers also advertise an opportunity to take up a free place in a 12-month programme to help you into self employment or successfully set up and run a business&#8221; &#8211; definitely something worth checking out!</p>
<p>On <strong>Thursday 19th November 5-6pm </strong>there&#8217;s also an <a href="http://www.careers.manchester.ac.uk/students/aboutus/events/onlineandinteractiveevents/webchats/index.htm?eventid=5486">Enterprise web chat</a>, where you can put your questions about enterprise, self-employment and freelancing to one of our specialist careers consultants and someone from the University&#8217;s Enterprise Centre.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dear all</p>
<p>Hopefully you are all recovering well (Adam and Nathan I know this is going to take a while!!) and are ready to get back out there. I have just been to see the football club to see if we can use their pitch again tomorrow and it is looking hopeful. We may have the option to train next to the football pitch on Thursday as they have training anyway which would also work as an interim solution. We are waiting to find out. So please be on standby to train either tomorrow or Thursday.</p>
<p>We have momentum now so lets keep this moving. Looks like we may have a game against Fawley on the 21st so we need to keep training.</p>
<p>Again, speedy recovery to Adam and Nathan.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Jason</p>

<p>Hi all </p>
<p>Just a quick note to update you on Adam. I have just returned from the hospital and although in a lot of pain he is OK but does have a 22cm hole in his bum!!! A really bad cut but hopefully no permanent damage. </p>
<p>Thanks to John and Nud for administering the <a class="zem_slink" title="First aid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_aid" rel="wikipedia">first aid</a> on the side line which has been praised by the doctors. Nathan was also injured yesterday but I have not been able to get an update on his condition, hope you are OK. </p>
<p>So apart from these injuries&#8230;&#8230;..WHAT A DAY!!!!!! </p>
<p>We played well, got better as the game went on and had a lot of fun. </p>
<p>Fantastic work from everyone. We did suffer from a problem I was not expecting and that was too many players, I am really sorry about the few of you that did not get on, time just flew by and we must learn from this and manage our subs properly. The support was unbelievable and goes to prove we were so right when we said <a class="zem_slink" title="Lymington" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymington" rel="wikipedia">Lymington</a> needed a Rugby Club, it was absolutely amazing. </p>
<p>Thoughts are now to our next game, the chat last night was for us to get some 2&#8217;s and 3&#8217;s action rather than just vets games, I personally think this is a great idea and I welcome your thoughts on this. I think a game in the next 2 to 3 weeks would be ideal. </p>
<p>Will let you know about Wednesday training but lets keep the Sundays going, 10.30 at Woodside. </p>
<p>All in all a fantastic day, all the hard work has paid off. </p>
<p>WE WON!!!!!!!!!! </p>
<p>Thoughts go out to Adam and Nathan, get fit soon. </p>
<p>Cheers </p>
<p>Jason</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Last night’s training took place at <a class="zem_slink" title="Lymington Town F.C." href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.7592194444,-1.54818888889&#38;spn=0.01,0.01&#38;q=50.7592194444,-1.54818888889%20%28Lymington%20Town%20F.C.%29&#38;t=h" rel="geolocation">Lymington Town</a> Football club’s ground under floodlights at 6pm. We did some contact, rucking and lineout work in the forwards and the backs working on some moves and support. We rotated the work across the pitch and avoided scrums &#8211; we want to be able to use the pitch again! Cheers Dom for sorting that out.</p>
<p>Jason sent an email out today – “the council have said they have issues getting our posts ready. Long and short of it is we need to help them out at 8am on Saturday morning or the game has to be cancelled. We have come too far with this to cancel now. I need 4 or 5 volunteers to help out at Woodside, 8am this Saturday. Who can help? “</p>
<p>This was the urgent message that without Lymington Mariners helping out the council where unable to get the posts erected. Needless to say the volunteers were forthcoming and the game goes ahead.</p>
<p>OK, good work lads, Ronan, Phil J, Tom, and Jamie L. These lads are meeting on the pitch at 8am on Saturday. If anyone else wants to help them I am sure the extra hands would be appreciated</p>
<p>Otherwise see you at Woodside tomorrow at 1pm</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hi All </p>
<p>Time for an update and a call to arms. There&#8217;s been a lot of talk and now it&#8217;s time to back it up with some action. </p>
<p>Our first home fixture is on Sat 31st Oct, against Camberley Veterans XV. </p>
<p>A varied group of players have been training in Wed evenings throughout the summer, but now it&#8217;s time for all those who claim to be players to turn up to training, pay your membership fee, and start having some fun. </p>
<p>Training is on Wed evenings, at Woodside Park. We gather at the car park off Ridgeway Lane @ 6pm, run around for an hour and then go to The Chequers for a pint or two. </p>
<p>Our pitch, which will be marked out shortly, is next to the Skateboard Park, where it used to be several years ago. </p>
<p>The next match will be an Away match in Guernsey on Sat 21st Nov. Full update to appear shortly on Club website and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83839841444" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a>. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Molto persone si sono sempre chieste ma se non sono a casa come faccio a connettermi su msn?<br />
Beh ci sono molti modi, ma forse questo che vi propongo ora è uno dei migliori.<br />
Il web messenger è un applicazione integrata nel sito web che ci fa chattare senza installare nulla, la prima ufficiale era proprio msn web messenger, ma secondo me è molto scarso e ha molto poco.<br />
Al suo posto c&#8217;è Ebuddy web messenger, un applicazione internet che ci farà connettere a msn, yahoo messenger, gtalk, aim, icq e le chat di myspace e facebook.<br />
Basta scrivere i propri dati, ed eseguire il login, e dopo sarete collegati con tutti i vostri amici.</p>
<p>Il sito è questo <a href="http://www.ebuddy.com/">Ebuddy Web Messenger </a>, l&#8217;unica cosa fastidiosa è il tempo di caricamento del vostro account, ma dopo è una bellezza.</p>
<p>Buona chat a tutti.</p>

<description><![CDATA[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE S3 Integrity Puts Web Chat Customer Service Channel Under the Microscope: Asks]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h5>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</h5>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>S3 Integrity Puts Web Chat Customer Service Channel Under the Microscope: Asks &#8220;Has Click-to-Chat Fallen Short of Expectations?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>_____________________________________________</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Despite Low Grades in Cost Reduction, Customer Experience and Ease of Implementation, Web Chat Has Untapped Potential as an Online Customer Self-Service Tool</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ORLANDO, FL – 23 September 2009 – S3 Integrity LLC announced today the publication of its <em>Blue Paper</em> that suggests Web Chat (or “Click-to-Chat”) has failed to meet market expectations as an online customer communication channel. Based on interviews with large-scale users of the technology, the report assigns low performance grades to Web Chat on its ability to reduce operating expense, to build customer loyalty, and to be managed internally.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Web Chat adoption has grown rapidly over the past 5 years as an eCommerce tool; enabling consumers to communicate directly with an organization’s sales or customer service agents on a real-time basis, through a written exchange similar to email or SMS texting. “Reactive” Chat conversations are initiated by consumers who click a Chat icon; “proactive” Chat involves pop-up icons triggered by the website operator, primarily as a means to increase completion rates of online transactions.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">According to S3 Integrity’s CEO Mike Tripp, “Our <em>Blue Paper</em> does not question the necessity of Web Chat as a tool for companies seeking to provide consumers with a complete portfolio of communications channels. Our report does suggest, however, that Web Chat’s business-related benefits have been over-promised and under-achieved in three important categories; primarily as a result of inadequate direction on the part of some Web Chat technology suppliers, as well as sloppy implementation on the part of many companies using the tool.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Specifically, S3 Integrity’s <em>Blue Paper </em>assigned the following performance grades to Web Chat:</p>
<p><strong>“Cost Reduction” Grade: C minus </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">According to the report, “Many companies believe Web Chat will be less expensive than phone-based customer communication, but often fail to accurately calculate embedded technology- and agent-related costs, as well as increased transaction (or “handle”) times and incremental traffic driven by the additional channel. Additionally, many companies are unable to develop their agents’ ability to manage multiple Chat conversations simultaneously (called “concurrency”), which is required to reduce transaction costs. Although Web Chat can be an effective customer collaboration tool, it is not a true online self-service solution, so its return on investment is never assured.”</p>
<p><strong>“Customer Experience” Grade: C plus</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">According to the report, “Because customer service agents are managing concurrent conversations, customers are often subjected to long waiting times between Chat responses, or they are provided with automated “canned” responses that can miss the mark in terms of content and conversation dynamics. Further, customer service agents – operating from either on-shore or offshore locations – who have poor writing skills or do not understand nuances of the written word, will not deliver a positive Customer Experience and may even damage brand loyalty. Proactive Chat also is considered intrusive by many consumers.”</p>
<p> <strong>“Ease of Implementation” Grade: D</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">According to the report, “Web Chat is not a plug-and-play customer service solution, and is very different from phone-based customer service in several respects, notably the skill set, personality and temperament of Chat agents versus phone agents. Chat suppliers often downplay, and companies can underestimate the complexity of proper Web Chat implementation, which involves business goals, performance metrics, policies and procedures, skills-based routing, record keeping, analytics and testing, oversight, security and privacy issues, quality control…in short, a lot of hard work and ongoing attention.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> “S3 Integrity’s <em>Blue Paper</em> examination of Web Chat’s current shortcomings,” Mr. Tripp noted, is based on existing Web Chat market research and case studies, as well as our conversations and direct experience with well-known companies currently using Web Chat as a customer service channel. Although we appreciate that the Web Chat experience of some companies may be more positive than what’s reflected in our <em>Blue Paper</em>, we believe the low grades assigned to Web Chat’s cost effectiveness, Customer Experience and ease of implementation represent the sentiment of a significant number of companies that have developed a Web Chat capability.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Web Chat’s shortcomings notwithstanding, S3 Integrity’s <em>Blue Paper</em> claims that companies have only scratched the surface of Web Chat’s potential as a tool that can drive online customer self-service. Mr. Tripp said, “Pushing page links to customers who are already engaged in an agent-assisted Web Chat conversation is a rudimentary tactic with limited measurability. There are much more effective ways for companies to use Web Chat as an online self-service tool and a true call deflection strategy, but they are currently being overlooked.” </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Orlando-based S3 Integrity LLC provides consulting, technology and content that enables companies to replace agent-assisted customer service transactions with online self-service solutions – lowering operating expense and improving the Customer Experience. S3 Integrity is the home of the WuLi Solution<strong><sup>™</sup></strong>, a proprietary customer self-service business process that combines customer-driven analytics with a media-rich, online interactive experience.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">S3 Integrity’s examination of Web Chat is the first in its planned <em>Blue Paper Series</em>™, entitled “<em>Customer Service Under the Microscope: What Works, What Doesn’t and Why</em>,” designed to present insight, opinion and best practices on customer service channels. Upcoming <em>Blue Paper</em> publications will address phone-based IVR, email, Knowledge-Based Systems, online communities and Social CRM. S3 Integrity’s <em>Blue Paper Series</em>™ is designed to be half the length, twice as practical, and exponentially less self-serving than most White Papers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Companies may request a copy of the <em>Blue Paper </em>on Web Chat by contacting Mike Tripp at (407) 876-1200, or by completing the <a href="http://www.s3integrity.com/Contact-Us" target="_self">“Contact Us”</a> form on the S3 Integrity website.<strong> </strong></p>
