noHold RELEASES InstantSupport™ VERSION 3.1.

NoHold Releases Instant Support™ Version 3.1 with new Document Management and Enterprise Application Integration capabilities.

Instant Support customers can now leverage on the new Articles Management component to manage, search, and maintain their documents.

Milpitas, Calif., USA- June 24, 2002 - noHold, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent Web-based guided self-service solutions, has just released noHold Instant Support™ 3.1. The newest version of Instant Support includes new components and functions that make it even easier for Global 2000 companies to author and maintain knowledge and documents as well as integrate with enterprise applications and intranet search engines.

Articles Management
With Articles Management, Knowledge Specialists can now manage and maintain both knowledge bases as well as document bases using the same content management tool: Instant Editor. In Instant Editor they can create, edit, upload, convert, map, unmap, search, filter, categorize, and publish articles. A role-based workflow allows them to make sure that content is reviewed and published by only authorized users.

Customers can add to their Knowledge Portal a Library Search function that gives their users the ability to search documents.

The Library Search user interface is a different and complementary paradigm to the Knowledge Portal interface. Designed to allow more tech-savvy, knowledgeable personnel to retrieve solutions easily, i.e. all relevant information related to a problem or symptom, the Library Search interface is a search tool for those users - customer service agents, for example – who do not require hand holding. You can enable the “search” interface for knowledge bases as well as for documents hosted in Instant Support.

Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing is a new add-on component and enabling technology that allows customers to connect (i.e., integrate) a Virtual Agent to business processes and data. Whether it’s a Web-based CRM form, a live-chat application, e-commerce, or CRM system, Dynamic Routing is the enabling technology allowing our customers to do that.

The inherent flexibility and simplicity of Dynamic Routing allows customers to implement also sophisticated tiered escalation and subject-based escalation. For example, when using a Virtual Agent as an external web self-service as well as an internal facing tool for your customer service agents, customers can configure the Virtual Agent to escalate to level one support agents for all external end user sessions, then have the tier1 agents sessions escalated to level two support agents, and so forth.

In line with noHold philosophy to empower the business users, setting up Dynamic Routes requires no effort or IT resources. Using a simple web form in Instant Setup, customer can tell the Virtual Agent what information must be collected and/or transferred to the “target enterprise application”.

Some companies use Instant Support primarily as a customer-facing technology, but others have deployed it internally to deliver the most current technical information to call center agents. The solution can be used almost anywhere a company must provide accurate and timely information to employees, managers, customers, vendors or other users.

noHold Instant Support version 3.1 as well as Articles Management and Dynamic Routing are available immediately. Pricing is based on a flat-rate annual licensing fee. A QuickStart version allows new customers to try the solution for 60 days before committing to the regular contract.
