D.L. Evans Bank Selects Allegiance to Spark Customer and Employee Feedback
100-Year-Old Bank Stays 'Cutting Edge' With Unique Technology to Help Better Understand and Address Customer and Employee Concerns
| Source: Allegiance, Inc.
SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 28, 2007 -- Allegiance, Inc., the premier provider
of enterprise feedback management solutions, today announced that D.L.
Evans Bank, a century-old community bank in Idaho, has implemented the
company's Active Listening System to listen and respond to the voice of its
customers and employees. The bank utilizes the Allegiance CustomerVoice and EmployeeVoice products,
which are Web-based solutions delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS).
D.L. Evans Bank recognized the need for a formal feedback management system
that would allow management to gather feedback from their employees and
customers in a central location, respond to the feedback, and then track
and create reports from the feedback. Allegiance is helping D.L. Evans Bank
provide a forum for employees to give feedback to the organization,
empowering employees to help the company reach its goals.
"Allegiance is a unique feedback system that has helped us capture, analyze
and respond to critical feedback," said Valrie Praegitzer, A.V.P. bank
operations officer for D.L. Evans Bank. "CustomerVoice tells us what
customers actually think and want, while EmployeeVoice provides our
employees with a convenient and confidential system to report their ideas
for improvement. The system is an additional way that we are showing our
employees and our customers that we want to hear from them, and we care
about what they say. Any size company that does not have a system to
collect employee and customer feedback needs to get one."
CustomerVoice and EmployeeVoice are focused channels for feedback into D.L.
Evans. To submit feedback to the bank, customers simply visit
www.dlevans.com and click on the "Customer Feedback" link on the home page.
Customers are then taken to a web-based feedback form, powered by Allegiance, where they have the
option of submitting anonymous or identifiable feedback. CustomerVoice
serves as a case management system with built-in accountability that helps
to ensure that all feedback receives attention. The aggregated data
collected in both CustomerVoice and EmployeeVoice provides the D.L. Evans
management team with information it can use to identify areas for
improvement, help create customized programs and make more informed
business decisions.
Adam Edmunds, president and chief executive officer of Allegiance, Inc.,
said, "For more than 100 years, D.L. Evans Bank has provided hometown
service and jobs for hundreds of Idaho residents. By implementing our
on-demand feedback management system, D.L. Evans Bank is once again
demonstrating its commitment to the people and communities that have helped
the bank grow from one to 17 branches. It is our experience that this
commitment will be reciprocated with happier, more loyal customers and
employees that will ensure the bank continues to prosper."
