ATLANTA & HONG KONG--CDC Software, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation and a provider of industry-specific enterprise software and services, announced today that the Canadian Automobile Association, South Central Ontario (CAASCO), which is the largest of nine clubs in the CAA Federation, has selected CDC Softwares Pivotal CRM to provide exceptional customer service based on their individual needs.

The decision was made after an eight-month investigative process that was undertaken by CAASCO to increase and sustain membership levels, market the associations products and services to its diverse membership base and meet its vision of delivering first-class quality service and unparalleled member satisfaction.

CDC Softwares references were impeccable, their culture and people are world-class, and more importantly, their product was unparalleled in terms of meeting our goals, said Nick Parks, president and CEO, CAASCO. I knew early on that CDC Software was the type of company we want to partner with to grow our business. It will allow us to take a leadership role in delivering the best possible service to our customers.

CAASCO serves approximately 1.8 million members in its club territory and offers insurance, travel and emergency roadside services. There are a total of 5.1 million members of the CAA in Canada.

Despite growing membership year over year, CAASCO is always looking for ways to improve its customer service. We have a wide variety of benefits including a full line of travel and insurance products that we offer to members and non-members, said Parks. We wanted a comprehensive and seamless way to inform our members of products and services available to them, as well as be able to improve our already-stellar customer service. Pivotals CRM Suites allow us to meet all our requirements and more.

We are very pleased that CAASCO, the largest club of its kind in Canada, selected Pivotal CRM for its customer relationship management system, said Eric Musser, CEO of CDC Software. Forward thinking service organizations like CAASCO are looking for strategic customer relations management solutions to help them differentiate their services and build customer loyalty in increasingly competitive markets.
