CARY, NC — (Marketwire) — 03/26/13 — Cicero Inc. (OTCBB: CICN), a provider of business performance software for desktops and mobile devices, today announced that First Tennessee Bank has deployed Cicero XM to deliver Smart Desktops to their customer service representatives to improve employee productivity and further enhance the customer experience.
Cicero XM was selected as an enterprise IT solution because it allows the bank to plug existing applications and services into a desktop service bus without modifying any of the data sources. This enables the sharing of data across applications, allows for the creation of cross-application workflow and business rules, and feeds data to new composite views shaped toward the type of interaction being handled. In addition, First Tennessee Bank is deploying Cicero to:
Integrate several in house and 3rd party applications (deposits, credit cards, etc.) from disparate platforms
Develop composite screens to provide a 360 degrees customer view
Deliver single sign on and stay signed on functionality
Create workflows and automated processes for many manual procedures
Provide guidance for employees to assist in complex transactions
Capture business events and milestones for reporting
“Cicero XM-s configuration and development environment, Cicero XM Studio, has allowed us to integrate, automate, and present information to our business users,” stated Brian Ramsey, Call Center Technology Manager of First Tennessee Bank. “Equally important is the product-s ability to abstract a variety of existing data sources and quickly swap them out in the future without redeveloping and reconfiguring everything.”
“Cicero XM-s technology will permit the bank to rapidly make ongoing changes to their desktops without having to replace or modify their current applications,” stated Tony Castagno, Chief Technology Officer at Cicero. “We are excited to see the results of their rollout of Cicero XM in their contact centers and look forward to working with them in future projects.”
