“Customers are buying outcomes, not just products or services. Especially for Software-as-a-Service solutions where expectations are high and adoption of services can be low, proactive engagement early and often is critical for success,” said Gary B. Moore, chairman and chief executive officer, ServiceSource. “Fast-growing businesses sometimes lack the resources they need to ensure that smaller and mid-market relationships begin, and stay, on the right track. Adding the scale and strategy of our solutions to tackle these issues enables our clients to maximize their revenue along the entire customer journey experience.”
