Javien chosen to power e-commerce for new international online sports game, CRM technology offered through partner Game Center Group
McLean, Virginia—September 15, 2008
Javien Digital Payment Solutions, Inc. today announced that CyberSports, a company that creates and operates 3D virtual multi-player multi-sports worlds for both casual and experienced gamers, has selected the Javien Total Commerce Solution to support players’ online game subscriptions and in-game payments of virtual goods. Working with Javien, partner Game Center Group, will be providing CRM support for CyberSports.
“We evaluated several payment providers and found that Javien’s technology offered the fullest menu of both merchant and customer support tools. It was also easy to integrate and provides the security we need to assure our customers they can trust doing business with us,” said George Scotto, Chief Customer Officer for CyberSports. “All of this, combined with the company’s partnerships and proven track record of meeting aggressive deployment schedules for high-profile customers, made Javien the obvious choice for us.”
Javien’s micropayment technology is critical to CyberSports’s Football Superstars platform, enabling high volumes of small in-game transactions. The Javien Total Commerce Solution supports a variety of international billing options, allowing CyberSports to expand its reach to a broader global audience. Javien’s flexible platform also allows CyberSports’s developers to add new offerings on the fly as the game continues to grow.
CyberSports will launch Football Superstars, the first massively multi-player online game (MMOG) to recreate the game of soccer and emulate its associated lifestyle for thousands of individual players, appealing to both casual and hardened gamers alike. The game will allow players to participate in pickup soccer games, manage their own teams, and even grow their “celebrity status” among other players by avoiding online paparazzi and spending free time in the game’s posh clubs and restaurants.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of CyberSports’s launch of Football Superstars, which will be a popular addition to the growing and thriving MMOG community,” said Leslie Poole, CEO of Javien Digital Payment Solutions. “We have a long history supporting leading game brands and top-shelf media companies and couldn’t be more pleased to add CyberSports to that list.” Javien is also pleased to announce that its partner Game Center Group will be supporting the CRM for CyberSports.
Game Center Group has integrated its best of breed CRM solutions for CyberSports. Game Center Group provides game companies advice and resources on a range of issues; from technical and in-game support to helping streamline processes for quality assurance and agent/community management. Game Center Group’s CRM tools include hosting and support, creating the ideal environment for seamless customer support. Additionally, its quality assurance program offers customers compatibility, game and platform testing.
“It’s an exciting time for MMOGs and game developers alike,” said D. Scott Mattson, CEO and President of Game Center Group. “As the industry continues to grow and the boundaries of creativity for games expands, it’s critical that we stay one step ahead of the backend technology that drives the innovation. Our partnership with Javien has allowed us to do this – and working together with CyberSports to introduce the Football Superstars game is a perfect example. We’re looking forward to much more success in the future.”
Javien Digital Payment Solutions and Game Center Group are participating as exhibitors at the Austin Game Developers Conference this week (booth #231). Scott Mattson, Game Center Group, and George Scotto, CyberSports, are serving on the panel titled "The Next Generation Customer Service Experience."
