News release: SIDEWARE SYSTEMS TO DEMONSTRATE REVOLUTIONARY INTERNET COMMERCE TECHNOLOGY FOR INTERACTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - JANUARY, 1998 VANCOUVER, BC - Sideware Systems* will demonstrate its prototype internet commerce customer service solution, Dr. Bean, at Lotusphere98. This newest member of the Sideware family of products is targeted for release in '98. Dr. Bean, being written in JAVA, will be platform independent. Sideware's Dr. Bean offers suppliers and customers the ability to communicate and navigate interactively via real-time messages associated with electronic business web pages. While a customer is conducting business at an internet commerce site, Dr. Bean will personalize the customer/supplier relationship based on the customer profile and context. This will trigger customized 'push' content back to the customer to meet their specific needs. Essentially, while Dr. Bean is facilitating the customer's purchasing experience, it is also data-mining the customer base, site visits and buying patterns. The built-in features of Dr. Bean will revolutionize customer service! Dr. Bean users will benefit from maximized customer service, increased efficiency of customer service resources and entrenched customer loyalty. "Dr. Bean is really the next step in the evolution of Sideware products and we're confident that this product will fill a critical void in the e-business marketplace. Lotusphere98 offers an ideal audience for demonstrating what Dr. Bean will do." Owen Jones, President of Sideware Systems states. "Companies like Lotus, IBM and Sun are positioning themselves as e-business providers and we're developing Dr. Bean to compliment this vital and expanding market." Dr. Bean, written in JAVA, can run concurrently with a Domino.Merchant server delivering on-demand customer service. Dr. Bean marks the first Sideware product written in JAVA addressing internet-based commerce activities and focused on delivering applications that enhance product offerings like Merchant from Lotus and IBM's net.com. IBM, Lotus and Sun believe e-business (business-to-business sales), represents as much as 6.5 million new commerce sites. Customer service is essential to the success of every new merchant site. Sideware's expertise in the development of unique and easy-to-use applications that interact simultaneously with other programs, ideally positions Dr. Bean. This powerful customer service system will transform business transactions. *JOT-IT!
