LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Oct 26, 2011) - [ ServiceSource® ] (NASDAQ: [ SREV ]), the global leader in [ service revenue management ], today announced an exclusive partnership with the [ Technology Services Industry Association ] (TSIA), the leading association for technology services organizations, to launch TSIA's newest discipline -- [ Service Revenue Generation ]. The announcement was made today at [ Technology Services World ] in Las Vegas, Nevada where ServiceSource executives and TSIA spoke about the benefits of the new discipline and the partnership.

Recurring service revenue makes up some of the most profitable dollars for hardware, software and other technology-based companies. The renewal of customer relationships is rapidly becoming the best indicator of the overall health and potential growth of a company¹. Yet most organizations struggle to organize and unlock the value from fragmented renewals data, and to understand how to use that data to improve the overall renewal rate, optimize recurring revenue and extend customer loyalty.

"No longer can organizations ignore the impact a strong recurring service revenue program can have on the health and future growth of their business," said Mike Smerklo, chairman and CEO, ServiceSource. "TSIA is recognized worldwide as a trusted resource for benchmarking, research, certification and awards programs in the technology services industry. We are honored to help launch its Service Revenue Generation discipline and bring our expertise to the TSIA community to provide insight gained from our global visibility into comparative renewals data, benchmarks, KPIs and best practices in the marketplace."

"The ability to maximize recurring service revenue is becoming increasingly important to the community members we serve," said JB Wood, president and CEO, TSIA. "We are launching this new discipline based on TSIA community feedback and market need to provide our members with the best thinking and resources to help them optimize service revenue initiatives within their organizations. We have created a Partner-in-Residence program to tap into third party expertise in support of our industry best practice and thought leadership programs. I am pleased to also announce that we have selected ServiceSource as our first Partner-in-Residence to support our Service Revenue Generation practice."

TSIA identifies one partner organization per service discipline, each with a distinctive ability to make unique contributions to research and provide insights, with a track record of contributing to industry thought leadership. ServiceSource, as the global leader in the service revenue management category, was a natural fit for the Service Revenue Generation discipline and Partner-In-Residence program developed by TSIA.

As the flagship partner for the new discipline, ServiceSource will help TSIA accelerate the development of intellectual property for the service revenue discipline by:

• Working with advisory board members to set the research agenda and strategic approach
• Contributing leading edge frameworks, best practices and metrics
• Providing insight regarding benchmarking and industry surveys conducted by TSIA
• Identifying and analyzing changing market dynamics and trends
