Parature Selects Angel.com’s Virtual Call Center

Angel.com Technology Chosen by Leader in On-Demand Customer Support

McLean, Va (August 15, 2007) –

Angel.com, a leading provider of on-demand call center and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions and a division of MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), today announced that Parature, the global leader in on-demand customer support and help desk software, has selected Angel.com to help manage its phone-based customer support needs to clients around the globe. The Virtual Call Center Solution from Angel.com will enable Parature to enhance telephone-based customer support, including emergency services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies.

As an innovator of online customer support software, Parature recognizes the importance of providing world-class service to customers. According to Ben Martin, Director of Support for Parature, the company’s existing in-house support line did not offer the functionality and flexibility he needed. With the fully-hosted Angel.com Virtual Call Center solution, Martin built and deployed a complete call center within weeks and can easily make changes and implement them at any time. Martin also benefits from access to real-time monitoring and reporting, full call recording, and seamless integration with other Parature applications as part of the feature-rich solution.

“The Angel.com Virtual Call Center solution provides the ease of deployment and use we need to better serve our customers and manage our support center,” said Martin. “The web-based interface makes it easy to make changes on-the-fly and better manage the overall customer experience.”

“The fact that Parature – a worldwide leader in customer support software – chose Angel.com to automate and manage its own phone-based customer support speaks volumes of the confidence our clients have in our technology and solutions,” said Angel.com CEO Michael Zirngibl. “Our high quality and easy-to-use applications ease solution deployment and management, enabling our clients to focus on one thing: their customers.”
