NESIC Adopts Boomtown in Japan and Announces a Stratic Partnership with Boomtown

(PRWEB) June 21, 2018 – Read the original release about NESIC adopting Boomtown in Japan NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation (“NESIC”) and Boomtown Network, Inc. (“Boomtown”) today announced a strategic partnership that sees NESIC adopting Boomtown’s platform to elevate its customer support experience in Japan. As part of this arrangement, NESIC has also made an investment in Boomtown via its recently established corporate venture capital fund, the NESIC Innovation Venture Limited Liability Partnership.\

NESIC is a leading Japanese provider of technology consulting, system design and integration, outsourcing and facilities management services to customers across the enterprise, telecommunication and government sectors. In seeking to provide next-generation support services to its largest customers down to small and medium-sized enterprises, NESIC needed a software platform that would enable it to fully leverage its nationwide support network and deliver simple, predictive, and personalized support experiences at scale.

Boomtown is an intelligent platform for technology support and customer service that creates more efficient agents and happier customers. Boomtown combines a universal technology dictionary with curated knowledge and insights from millions of support interactions to create an intelligent support system. Relay deploys chatbots to distill and deliver this knowledge in concise and digestible conversational responses to customer service agents or directly to customers across the communication channels they use every day. When in-person services are needed, Boomtown is able to intelligently schedule and dispatch the best local field service agent to the job.

We expect that NESIC can efficiently provide end-to-end support to customers remotely or in-person by using Boomtown. NESIC’s service team can take advantage of single-threaded omnichannel communications, access conversational knowledge bases in real time, share tickets in Boomtown across specialized internal teams, and easily bring in third-party vendors to streamline cross-organization collaboration on customer issues. If field work is necessary, NESIC will use Boomtown’s Dispatch feature to send a service technician from its nationwide network to a customer’s location and manage issue resolution in the field.

“As companies are shifting to cloud-based IT solutions, there is a parallel shift in the required support services for these companies,” said, Shota Ushihara, Business Development Manager at NESIC. “We’re excited to combine the benefits of Boomtown’s platform, machine learning, and knowledge automation with NESIC’s nationwide support services. Leveraging the efficiency and automation from Boomtown, we will be able to provide flexible services for nationwide support of major companies and major cloud services vendors.”
“We’re thrilled to closely partner with NESIC to take Boomtown to Japan,” said Alfred ‘Chip’ Kahn IV, CEO of Boomtown. “NESIC is a global leader who provides integrated technology services and understands deeply the challenges and opportunities in the space. By adopting the Boomtown platform for remote and in-person services across Japan, NESIC will create exceptional customer experiences, drive operational efficiencies, and develop lasting partnerships.”
