SalesExpert Premiere Global Services consultants focus on identifying, analysing, defining and implementing the right solutions for a whole range of communication challenges in order to optimise clients’ business communication processes. Premiere Global Services has helped thousands of companies identify previously undiscovered value and profit potential by enabling organisations to strengthen their market position, increase their product sales, improve their customer service and enhance internal communications and employee motivation. For example, one of the biggest sources of profit potential in a company is in replacing its manual and paper-based business processes with automated e-based solutions. These are processes that appear again and again in the areas of: lifecycle management, customer relationship management (CRM), HR management, financial management and internal communications.05 Consulting Premiere Global Services Some examples of Premiere Global Services solutions in action:Wholesale and distributionThe accounting departments of companies with high billing traffic face a major challenge every day. Premiere Global’s eBilling and eInvoicing solution automates billing and bill delivery. A company will therefore not only save up to three quarters of its processing, paper and postage costs, it will also make a valuable contribution to protecting the environment.Financial managementPayment and trade confirmations, account statements, investor information and accounting-related documents are constantly being sent out by financial and insurance companies. Using PGiCOS, traditional paper deliveries are replaced by digital document solutions. Automating these processes not only saves costs and time, it also improves customer satisfaction.Investor relationsStricter compliance guidelines demand transparent communication processes, particularly in the investor relations area. Premiere Global Services ensures organisations meet these requirements by providing conferencing solutions which offer the ability to simplify scheduling as well as record and provide meeting content. The secure archiving and easy administration of multimedia communication creates long-term transparency for all groups with vested interests.AccountingFinancial collection procedures can be inefficient and expensive and most basic paper-based reminder communications are ineffective. With the digitalisation of the reminder via a voice message, Premiere Global Services helps companies to reduce process costs by approximately two thirds and to accelerate the receipt of outstanding payments by, on average, three days.HR managementThe training and management of employees in remote locations poses a growing challenge for many companies. Premiere Global’s conferencing solutions help HR and training departments to replace business trips for training purposes with cost-efficient and user-friendly online training and at the same time limit the impact on the environment.“Individual tailoring of processes to the requirements of those involved and their individual objectives makes every project unique. However, in all cases we guarantee optimised business performance.” John Stone Executive Vice President Europe08 SaaS Premiere Global Services SaaS - Software as a ServicePGiCOSWithout the need to house expensive software or IT infrastructure, a Company can access the PGiCOS and all its associated technology through the internet 24/7, in order to plan, initiate and analyse its total communication activities - from planning its next investor relations event to improving its accounts receivable process. PGiCOS brings together the various modalities of email, fax, text messaging, voice, audio and web conferencing into customer-tailored, communications solutions to streamline a whole host of Companies’ daily business processes. PGiCOS is easy to access and allows global companies with dispersed offices to control activities centrally – bringing standardisation and cost savings.Global performanceThe benefits of Premiere Global’s SaaS model are significant. Clients need carry no costs for setting up IT infrastructure, for maintaining it or keeping it upgraded and up-to-date – but still benefit from a system built on the very latest technology. Premiere Global Services has 20 redundant, high-performance UNIX (SUN Solaris) data centres distributed around the world at strategically important business locations to guarantee high throughput volumes of emails, faxes, text messages and voice messages. In the conferencing area, Premiere Global Services provides the most tightly-knit network of dial-in nodes worldwide, so as to guarantee optimum availability and local billing for its customers. 09 SaaS Premiere Global Services Converting opportunities into successesCommunication is a critical aspect of all businesses today. It is important to know if and when messages are going to arrive, if and how they will be consumed, what content will capture interest, and ideally, what value the recipient will receive from the message. PGiCOS provides a comprehensive reporting structure for this purpose. This defines the type, channel and time of the delivery, as well as confirmation of receipt and click through behaviour. The recipients can also react to notifications via feedback channels. For example, as part of Premiere Global’s Web Conferencing service, live voting can be requested or open commentaries can be specifically edited for a particular person. This control tool is designed to help companies collect information about their communication partners and use this to target specific groups with tailored messages. In the e-mail newsletter area it is possible to send individual product offers to customer groups who have already demonstrated their interest in the past by visiting the associated product links.Premiere Global Services has an advanced billing system and provides a number of pricing options, such as subscription and license pricing, that are simple to understand and tailored to customers across all levels of usage, offering them a more predictable spend with us. These payment options enable small and medium-sized enterprises to work with tools that were previously only perhaps accessible for larger organisations.Document Outline
