 PROFILE
Lightning Rod Software has got the rod part down, but seems to be missing the voltage. The company offers customer service software for e-commerce companies, online trading sites, e-service bureaus, and online entertainment providers. Its Interaction Manager software suite helps companies respond quickly to questions by prioritizing and routing phone, e-mail, fax, and other communications. The company took its present form in 2000, when publicly traded CE Software Holdings acquired Lightning Rod Software (formerly ATIO Corporation) and took the private company's name. Faced with dwindling sales, the company cut its workforce and said it was seeking strategic alternatives.
