MORE TH>N, Royal & SunAlliance’s UK Direct Insurance Brand, Selects InStranet’s Multi-Channel Knowledge Application
To meet the challenge of further enhancing the customer experience, MORE TH>N implements InStranet’s CCIL Knowledge Application to deliver and embed accurate and relevant business knowledge to their contact center representatives

CHICAGO – February 19, 2008 – InStranet, Inc., a global provider of multi-channel knowledge applications, today announced that MORE TH>N, the Direct UK insurance brand of Royal & SunAlliance, has deployed InStranet’s patented, award-winning Contact Center In-Line™ (CCIL) application.

InStranet’s CCIL knowledge application allows companies to deliver contextual and profile based knowledge, such as policies, product promotions, and trouble shooting information to millions of end users in multiple locations; more th>ncontact centers, web self service, and the retail channel. InStranet’s CCIL packaged business processes, with its Customer Experience Wheel, ensures that there are no blind spots in the knowledge base, and provides dynamic navigation rules that are intuitive for both agents and customers. In addition CCIL provides real time intelligence about how successful the knowledge base is in answering customer inquiries. MORE TH>N recognizes this added value, and in its ongoing effort to provide exceptional customer service implemented CCIL.

“We were faced with a challenge of being able to provide our Service Center with the right information regarding our products and propositions, plus be able to push communications and messages to the right people at the right time”, said Andy Hobbs, Central Services Consultant at MORE TH>N. “The key element of our challenge was not just that we were able to make sure that people had received the information but also identify where we had knowledge gaps and be able to target and direct our training and coaching resources to close these”. Hobbs continues, “To ensure that we really stand out from our competitors in relation to customer service, it is vital that our people are confident that there is a single hub where there is just one version of the truth. To then be able to tailor this information and subsequent training and development to the individual is something very special. We are looking forward to working with InStranet on these key areas of our business in our continued quest to delivering the best customer care for our customers."

“InStranet has the best available knowledge management application on the market and we’re pleased to work with an industry leader like MORE TH>N , helping them to provide superior support to its customers,” said Alan Barr, Managing Director of InStranet UK. “Beyond the successful and timely deployment of CCIL, we are proud of the user acceptance and enthusiasm around our application”.
