Overview:

EZ Support Inc. is a provider of software that enables the efficient operation

of eCommerce related call centers. They have 300+ employees with just

over half being in product development and IT related roles.

Challenges:

• Deployment cost is high for customers, and ability to innovate is

hampered by having to roll-out new software to on-premise customers.

• Need to diversify and expand their offerings. Marketplace pressure is

emerging from the nimble, small garage shops building new and

innovative solutions.

Goals:

• Port and enhance the on-premise Call Center solution to run in the cloud.

• Add to the portfolio complementary solutions that cover other market

segments.

• Accelerate innovate to the marketplace.
