LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN), a provider of online conversion solutions, today announced that national homebuilder WCI Communities, Inc. (NYSE: WCI) has selected LivePerson's Timpani Voice platform to offer live, click-to-talk functionality to its online customers.

Visitors to the WCI website (www.wcicommunities.com) are now able to initiate a live voice conversation by clicking on dynamic buttons placed throughout the site. After prompting the user to enter a phone number, the system brokers an immediate connection with a WCI representative, bypassing conventional voice recognition and automated phone menu options. During each live voice engagement, WCI agents have full visibility to the visitor's web page and are able to "co-browse" and guide them to additional pages, as well as assist with online forms. The addition of Timpani Voice is an expansion of WCI's existing relationship to provide live chat to its online customers.

"More and more home-buyers are making the Internet an integral part of their research and purchasing process," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. "Timpani Voice™ allows WCI to engage their customers in a live conversation while they're online, providing them with the information necessary to improve their online experience and help them make informed decisions."

"At all points of the customer experience, the WCI team strives to make the experience both meaningful and beneficial," shared WCI Vice President of Marketing John Manrique. "Timpani Voice offers visitors to wcicommunities.com yet another communication option to get the information and answers they need."
