Press Release Body: London, UK - 23 October 2007 - Tealeaf®, the leader in Customer
Experience Management (CEM), today announced that Premier Farnell, the leading
multi-channel, high service distributor of essential products and services to
millions of electronic design engineers and purchasing professionals globally, has
chosen to work with Tealeaf to help double the size of its online business over the
next 18 months. By capturing every customer journey on each of Premier Farnell's 37
websites, Tealeaf CXT will give the company insight into how its online
transactional processes affect the customer experience, enabling it to make rapid
improvements and increase overall conversion rates.
Since October 2006, Premier Farnell has been moving towards a multi-channel customer
approach, interacting with its client base through contact centres, field sales,
trade counters as well as the internet, which the company believes to have the
greatest growth potential. With Tealeaf, Premier Farnell will be equipped with all
the information it needs to improve online performance and as a result hopes to
increase online revenues from 27 to 50 per cent of the company's total global
revenues. By discovering potential sticking points in functionality and usability
and replaying these sessions to site developers, Premier Farnell can quickly
determine the business impact of issues and rectify them, creating an optimised
site.

"Previously we relied on feedback or gut feel to understand how our functionality
was impacting our users' online experience, but we realised this was not sufficient
to achieve our growth objectives. We need to have concrete evidence of the
expectations and behaviour of each of the visitors to our sites in order to
understand how to create the best in class online environment," said Marco Ryan,
Senior Vice President of Global Ecommerce , Premier Farnell. "Tealeaf will give us
this understanding, arming us with a key solution to help increase our online
business to 50 per cent of our annual revenues."
"It is crucial that Premier Farnell delivers the optimal customer experience if it
is to help Electronic Design Engineers have the best multi-channel experience"
commented John Lillie, UK Country Manager for Tealeaf. "Tealeaf gives companies
involved in ecommerce, such as Premier Farnell, an unprecedented 360-degree view of
their customers, to help them provide the ultimate online experience and therefore
maximise sales and customer loyalty."
