  text: 'SCM is a simple, modular and flexible system for web monitoring and customer
    interaction management. In our view, its main advantages are the following: It
    is completely web based. It combines all technologies, data, software agents and
    human agents involved in the monitoring and customer interaction process. It can
    be used for messages written in any natural language. Although the prototype of
    SCM is designed for classifying and processing messages about mobile-phone related
    problems in social networks, SCM can easily be adapted to other text types such
    as discussion board posts, blogs or emails. Unlike comparable systems, SCM uses
    linguistic technologies to classify messages and recognize paraphrases of product
    names. For two reasons, product name paraphrasing plays a major role in SCM: First,
    product names typically have many, sometimes hundreds or thousands of intralingual
    paraphrases. Secondly, product names have interlingual paraphrases: The same products
    are often called or spelt differently in different countries and/or languages.
    By mapping product name variants to an international canonical form, SCM allows
    for answering questions like Which statements are made about this mobile phone
    in which languages/in which social networks/in which countries/...? The SCM product
    name paraphrasing engine is designed in such a way that standard variants are
    assigned automatically, regular variants are assigned semiautomatically and idiosyncratic
    variants can be added manually. With this and similar features we try to realize
    our philosophy of simplicity, modularity and flexibility: Whatever can be done
    automatically is done automatically. But manual intervention is always possible
    and easy and it does not conflict in any way with the automatic functions of SCM.'

  text: Within this paper, we will describe a new approach to customer interaction
    management by integrating social networking channels into existing business processes.
    Until now, contact center agents still read these messages and forward them to
    the persons in charge of customer’s in the company. But with the introduction
    of Web 2.0 and social networking clients are more likely to communicate with the
    companies via Facebook and Twitter instead of filling data in contact forms or
    sending e-mail requests. In order to maintain an active communication with international
    clients via social media, the multilingual consumer contacts have to be categorized
    and then automatically assigned to the corresponding business processes (e.g.
    technicalservice, shipping, marketing, and accounting). This allows the company
    to follow general trends in customer opinions on the Internet, but also record
    two-sided communication for customer relationship management.

  text: Since customers first share their problems with a social networking community
    before directly addressing a company, social networking sites such as Facebook,
    Twitter, MySpace or Foursquare will be the interface between customer and company.
    For this reason, it is assumed that social networks will evolve into a common
    communication channel – not only between individuals but also between customers
    and companies. However, social networking has not yet been integrated into customer
    interaction management (CIM) tools. In general, a CIM application is used by the
    agents in a contact centre while communicating with the customers. Such systems
    handle communication across multiple different channels, such as e-mail, telephone,
    Instant Messaging, letter etc. What we do now is to integrate social networking
    into CIM applications by adding another communication channel. This allows the
    company to follow general trends in customer opinions on the Internet, but also
    record two-sided communication for customer service management and the company’s
    response will be delivered through the customer’s preferred social networking
    site.
