"eShare's goal is to provide a complete solution for Internet-based human interaction," said Glenn Reyer, vice president of marketing for eShare Technologies. "With the latest version of the Expressions Interaction Suite, we have reinforced our commitment to the chat space in light of Acuity's recent departure. At the same time, we have added features that our customers have requested to take chat to the next level for customer interaction. No one else in the market is dedicated to providing turnkey chat solutions based on specific market demands and this is why eShare is the customer interaction market leader. "
