    Hi Natalie, I have to thank you for uploading the results of your excellent study! The German market is really underdeveloped when it comes to social media and customer involvement technologies. One of our studies showed that 2/3rds of the travel companies in Germany do not offer any such technologies for customer service purposes and still rely mainly on hotlines, web forms and email. Your study really puts water on the mills of our small, but innovative company hiogi and also because of your results and the latest IDC forecast (over 41% annual growth of the service-community market), we launched an international version of our web-based and mobile SaaS: http://en.service-community.net/

    Best regards
    Bjoern
