Leesburg, Va., August 25, 2010 – Interactive Softworks, a provider of customer engagement solutions, announced today that The Blood Alliance, a non-profit community blood bank, has signed an agreement to implement the company’s software to recruit blood donors and schedule appointments. This implementation will enable The Blood Alliance to significantly improve its donor outreach program, increase operating efficiencies and drive more effective communications with donors.
