SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2011) - [ ServiceSource ]® (NASDAQ: [ SREV ]), the global leader of service revenue management, today announced that its partnership with [ Affymetrix®, Inc. ], a pioneer of microarray technology used in groundbreaking genetic discoveries, has resulted in improved customer satisfaction.

Affymetrix began its partnership with ServiceSource nearly three years ago to augment its focus on customer satisfaction in North America. Facing a growing demand for its products and an expanding installed base of existing customers, Affymetrix looked to ServiceSource to provide adaptable, highly proficient customer-branded renewal teams, focused analytics and forecasting technology. In addition, Affymetrix sought to enhance its service product portfolio by employing ServiceSource's expertise, best practices and its track record of more than a decade of benchmarks. The partnership began with ServiceSource integrating members of the Affymetrix organization into a dedicated service sales team.

"Integrating the ServiceSource sales team with the Affymetrix service team has been tremendously beneficial because ServiceSource performs as part of our organization," said Glenn Mercer, vice president worldwide services, Affymetrix. "ServiceSource took the time to thoroughly understand our service products, our customers' needs and our goals and objectives. The insights we've gained since establishing our partnership with ServiceSource have been invaluable in creating stronger relationships with our customers. The partnership allows us to freely share best practices and create services that meet our customers' needs and improve their productivity. Having ServiceSource focus on our North America renewals allows our service team to focus on what we do best: providing world-class customer support."

Since implementing ServiceSource's business analytic solutions, Affymetrix has achieved several important goals:

• Improved customer satisfaction with service and support products;
• Improved service product portfolio, which has increased customer productivity and uptime;
• Enhanced business intelligence;
• Created a dedicated, expanded, highly trained services sales team by integrating ServiceSource into the Affymetrix organization.

"It is rewarding to see the impact a long-term relationship can have on both of our organizations," said Mike Smerklo, chief executive officer, ServiceSource. "Working with Affymetrix in North America allows us to showcase how our services are expanding well beyond the high-tech sector and impacting other important markets. Our primary goal is to provide business value through analytics and best practices, and we look forward to bringing greater insight and collaboration to Affymetrix and continuing to drive customer satisfaction improvements."

Today, Affymetrix continues to use ServiceSource to manage its renewal business, providing an ongoing, in-depth analysis of business intelligence. The ServiceSource data management solutions and cloud-powered applications have given Affymetrix documented, measurable results.
