In fall of 2000, Clara Shih and Steve Garrity met as freshmen in the Stanford Computer Science Department. Over the next four years, they built a strong friendship and mutual respect which would later become the foundation for Hearsay Social. Clara joined Google and later Salesforce, helping create the first generation of web applications. Steve went on to work at Fortify and later Microsoft, where he helped create Windows Mobile and Azure, honing his background in mobile, cloud, and enterprise scale, security, and reliability. In 2007, a Facebook app Clara had built for fun suddenly went viral. Forrester credited it with “kickstarting the Social Business Movement.” Clara was approached by a publisher to pen the first book about social business. The Facebook Era became an instant hit featured in the NY Times and picked up by Harvard Business School as a marketing textbook. Realizing that social media presented an even larger opportunity than the web a decade ago— and that enterprises needed help driving business, relevancy, and loyalty in the new era— Clara messaged Steve on Facebook and Hearsay Social was born. Cold calls and email no longer work. Your customers today expect to find and hear from you exactly when, where, and how they prefer— on social and mobile. Hearsay Social empowers global teams to use social media to attract prospects, retain customers, and grow business. The enterprise-ready solution boosts productivity and incorporates best practices while ensuring brand integrity and compliance for even the most regulated industries. Clara, Steve, and the entire Hearsay Social team are passionate about the transformational effect social media has on customer relationships. In the Social Era, change is the only constant. Hearsay Social’s role is to bridge the gap between Silicon Valley with the needs of the enterprise. We are relentlessly committed to helping you innovate as new technologies continue to turn the world and your customers’ expectations upside-down. Thanks for joining us on this most extraordinary journey.
Founded as Communicator Asystance Systems in 1982 by four technologists in Beverly, Massachusetts, the company’s original goal was to offer business productivity solutions to the IBM midrange market (Systems 36 and 38). These solutions consisted of financial and distribution management packages as well as an early Customer Relationship Management (CRM) product which became the basis for a Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) product by the late 1980’s. The company was well known in the call center industry by the acronym CAS and the product known as Castel. Working closely with IBM and their new AS/400 product line, CAS became IBM’s top CTI partner by installing many integrated solutions utilizing IBM’s industry leading product known as Callpath. Partnering with IBM, CAS installed thousands of inbound and outbound seats with the NYNEX/Bell Atlantic market in New York and New England and used this great success to leverage many other sales throughout North America, Europe and the Pacific. By the late 1990’s, CAS management decided to develop an entirely new hardware and software CTI solution and began internal development of a new product based on a CISCO host programmable switch (Summa/4) as well as an all new software product which would ultimately become Castel Connects. By 2001 it became clear that the company could expand using its own cash flow so CAS went to the capital markets and brought in outside investors for the first time. In 2002, the investment was used to rebrand the company as Castel, and the product as Castel Connects. In addition, the investment enabled the company to develop new products and launch a strong marketing campaign which helped Castel emerge as a major player in the call center market. Over 50 sites were installed within 5 years in three major vertical markets – financial services (collections), telesales and telemarketing. In order to meet the increasingly demanding needs of the call center industry, Castel determined that more products such as Digital Voice Recording (DVR), Intelligent Voice Response (IVR) and Intelligent Message Delivery (IMD) would need to be developed and introduced to the market. Meeting these critical needs demanded additional resources. Castel brought in seasoned technology veterans and moved the company headquarters to Buffalo in order to ensure that Castel’s products and services would continue to lead the industry in innovation and deliver the highest level of productivity.
