INDIANAPOLIS — May 8, 2008 — Consona CRM, a leading provider of total customer management solutions for the enterprise, today announced that the Onyx CRM and KNOVA service resolution and knowledge management solutions were selected by ISM Inc., customer relationship management (CRM) and contact center strategic advisors, as a recipient of the Top 15 CRM Enterprise Software Award for 2008. Today’s announcement marks the tenth year running that ISM has selected Consona CRM’s solutions for its Top 15 Award list.
“The winners of the 2008 Top 15 continue to raise the bar for the CRM community with significant advancements in both functionality and connectibility. Mobile access, as well as Web 2.0, are of increased importance to sales and marketing professionals and their always-on, always-connected digital clients,” said Barton Goldenberg, president of ISM.

Each package was rated according to 217 selection criteria, including 103 business functions, 52 technical features, 36 implementation capabilities, nine real-time criteria and 17 user-support features.

The Onyx and KNOVA solutions have been consistently recognized by the industry, with 12 awards in 2007, this honor from ISM, plus accolades from numerous trade publications in 2008, including destinationCRM, TMC and KMWorld.

“Consona CRM is to be praised for obtaining the Top 15 honor, as ISM’s software selection process is strenuous and comprehensive,” said Goldenberg. “Consona is a leader in the CRM industry.”
