eGain Introduces Free Guided Pilot Service to Fuel Innovation in Digital Customer Engagement

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 15, 2015) - eGain (NASDAQ: EGAN), the leading provider of cloud-based customer engagement solutions, today announced eGain Try+Buy, a guided innovation consumption model that is safe, easy, and risk-free. A typical client can begin delivering new digital services to customers within days. This disruptive offer includes:

• Award-winning customer engagement suite with built-in best practices
• Safe production pilot in eGain Cloud
• Options for easy A/B testing
• Guidance to quick business value by eGain experts
• Risk-free delivery at no charge with no obligation to buy

eGain Try+Buy will enable bolder innovation in digital engagement, consistent with Gartner's new bimodal IT model. In Gartner's model, Mode 1 is a traditional linear approach to ensure reliable, "keep the lights on" operation, while Mode 2 is an agile non-linear approach suited for fast innovation. "The digital world demands greater enterprise dexterity in creating value from technology. Bimodal IT is the critical capability CIOs need," write Mary Mesaglio and Simon Mingay in the Gartner report "Bimodal IT: How to Be Digitally Agile without Making a Mess."

Demand for the service has been strong worldwide across industries. Leaders in retail, telco, financial services, insurance, travel, BPO, and manufacturing are already leveraging the offer -- Princess Cruises and Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co KG are among them.

"Unlike conventional SaaS trial offers, eGain Try+Buy is not DIY," said Ashu Roy, eGain CEO. "Clients are loving the risk-free experience of guided digital innovation in the eGain Cloud!"
