"Today's consumers demand a better experience, and if the brands they are engaging with don't deliver then those consumers will quickly move on," said Rob Tarkoff, President and CEO of Lithium Technologies. "We take customer success personally, and this latest iteration of the Lithium platform helps brands rise to the occasion, adapt quickly and deliver a better experience across the board."
Lithium's long history gives it industry-leading expertise and a wealth of data that it has been consistently embedding into its community platform to deliver on the vision of Total Community. This includes powerful new options to make a community stand out in terms of visual appeal, usability, and business value. Recent additions to the Lithium product arsenal include:
-- A fully responsive design that provides a consistent user experience
(UX) across devices and incorporates Lithium's 14 years of expertise,
retaining the most flexible, extensible UX in the industry.
-- A more modern media experience featuring new layouts and image
capabilities to help consumers move beyond text and easily share rich
media within a community, just as they do on other parts of the social
web.
-- SEO enhancements that make the right content more easily discoverable
and shareable from within a community and across other digital and
social channels.
-- Enhancements to interaction styles including Ratings & Reviews, as
Lithium continues to empower consumers to share their ideas, opinions,
and content in multiple ways.
-- A new Software Developer Kit (SDK) that lets developers use native tools
when customizing the Lithium platform.
"The goal of our new Google Advertiser community is to help customers better understand and utilize our growing list of new product features," said Loree Draude, Head of Communities and Social Engagement, Global Customer Experience at Google. "To do this, we have created a fantastic new user experience in our Lithium Community - revamping the overall look and feel (particularly for mobile) using Lithium's responsive design, and bringing in valuable content from various sources that is easily discoverable."
"At Virgin Media, we know our customers demand the best possible digital user experience, and regardless of what device or operating system they are on, that experience must be consistent across any platform, " said Shaun Hewitt, Head of eService at Virgin Media. "With Lithium, we worked in close partnership--even co-locating our team--to deploy a responsive design that is easy to navigate and works brilliantly across a range of desktop, tablet and mobile devices. The transformation has been one of the first Agile projects for the business. Collaboration between both teams has given us an opportunity to develop beyond our expectations in such a short space of time, testing and re-developing on customer feedback throughout."
Customer Overviews:
Forward-looking businesses across the board realize they need to enlist and activate their total community (e.g. customers, employees, analysts, partners, investors) to respond to rising expectations and engage with their customers when and where they want.
