NEW YORK, June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson, Inc.
(Nasdaq: LPSN), a leading provider of mobile and online messaging solutions, today announced that LiveEngage was named a 2017
SIIA CODiE Awards finalist in the Best Customer Service Solution category. Finalists represent the best products, technologies,
and services in software, information and business technology.
LivePerson's LiveEngage platform lets brands talk to consumers the same way they prefer to speak with their family and
friends, through messaging. Instead of a painful 800 phone call, consumers and customer care teams can go back and forth via
mobile messaging when it's most convenient for the customer, using the medium that consumers prefer. LiveEngage also allows
brands to deploy, manage, and measure bots in one place, directly alongside human workers. Commentary from judges included praise
for LiveEngage's robust and comprehensive product along with its modern approach to bots and messaging.
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the premier awards for the
software and information industries, and have been recognizing product excellence for over 30 years. The awards offer 93
categories that are organized by industry focus of education technology and business technology. LiveEngage was honored as one of
205 finalists across the 59 business technology categories.
"I am impressed by the level of innovation and creativity of the products that have been selected as this year's CODiE Award
finalists. We are happy to recognize these products and the power they have to transform the future of how we do business," said Ken Wasch, President of SIIA.
"LiveEngage enables brands to develop meaningful connections with consumers, and we're honored to be recognized as a leader in
this space," said Rob LoCascio, founder and CEO of LivePerson. "The way consumers prefer to
communicate has changed, and we're excited to see brands adapting to this change."
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-recognized awards program. Business technology leaders including senior
executives, analysts, media, consultants and investors evaluate assigned products during the first-round review which determines
the finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the
winners. Winners will be announced during the CODiE Award Business
Technology Winner Announcement & Celebration, July 25 in San
Francisco.
