RedPrairie Named to 2012 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators

Supply chain and retail technology provider recognized for innovation in customer support, employee communications

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RedPrairie Corporation, a global supply chain and retail technology provider, announced today that it made this year’s InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology. Winners were announced on Sept. 11, 2012, at the InformationWeek 500 awards ceremony in Dana Point, Calif.

“We are proud of RedPrairie’s ranking on the InformationWeek 500.”

“The InformationWeek 500 has recognized the most innovative users of business technology for 24 years, and this year’s innovations were particularly impressive,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston.

RedPrairie received this award based on a strategic internal initiative to upgrade its phone system and call center capabilities. As a global organization with customers located in more than 50 countries, RedPrairie offers customer support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By adopting a software-based phone client, RedPrairie was able to unite its global support team while enabling more than 200 users to remove the physical phones from their desks and move to a more agile and mobile work style.

“The recognition by InformationWeek shows that when organizations are willing to put the customer first, seemingly routine business processes can be transformed into strategic opportunities to improve customer satisfaction and employee performance,” said John Kopcke, chief technology officer at RedPrairie. “We are proud of RedPrairie’s ranking on the InformationWeek 500.”

In addition to the call center upgrade, RedPrairie’s efforts to re-define customer service excellence are evident in the recent launch of RedPrairie Support Cloud, a self-service, interactive support portal that provides immediate access to any type of support need, including product support, product documentation, training opportunities, community-based forums and user group communities.
