One-Week Deployment
With easy set-up and configuration without programming, you can be up and running on Giva eCustomerService quickly. In fact, existing Giva customers have deployed Giva eCustomerService on a worldwide basis in one week – an Internet connection and a standard Web browser are all you need. In contrast, according to Aberdeen Group, other customer service software solutions typically require trained experts for set-up and customization, which may take three to six months.
Best-in-Class Usability
The Giva customer service solution user interface is based on common Web navigation metaphors and familiar icons, drastically reducing training time. In fact, many Giva customers get up to speed on Giva eCustomerService with only a single one-hour training session.
Three Editions to Meet Your Needs
Giva eCustomerService is available in Standard Edition, Professional Edition, or Enterprise Edition. All are world-class call center software solutions, and each includes a combination of powerful customer service features to meet the unique needs of your company.
The edition that is right for you depends on the size of your team, the application components you need, and the level of customization and integration you require.
Hosted or Locally Installed Deployment
As a true Web-native solution, Giva eCustomerService is available either with the Giva On Demand Software option hosted by Verizon Business or locally installed on your infrastructure.

With the Giva On Demand Software option, Giva eCustomerService does not require any client software, Web or database servers, reporting applications, databases, or VPN equipment at any of your sites. Your users simply securely log in to Giva eCustomerService over the Internet and get right to work.
