World`s leading 3G and mobile broadband services provider deploys StreamServe to
improve customer communications and reduces costs in customer service and direct
mailings 
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
StreamServe, Inc., a leading provider of business communication solutions, today
announced that 3 Scandinavia has chosen StreamServe to dynamically create,
produce, automate and distribute customer bills. The 3 Group is the world`s
leading operator of 3G and mobile broadband services with more than 19 million
customers in ten countries. 3 uses StreamServe in Sweden and Denmark to work
dynamically with invoices as a communications channel for personalized special
offers and marketing messages. In a toughly competitive sector, 3 can now
rapidly change messages on invoices based on the current market situation and
ongoing campaigns. 

"Invoicing is one of our primary points of contact with the customers," says
Thomas Wandahl, customer loyalty director at 3 Scandinavia. "It`s important for
us to have control of the document process and to be able to include information
about current special offers prior to each round of invoicing. By segmenting the
customers and giving them personally adapted messages, customer campaigns are
more successful, which is reflected in our revenues. StreamServe gives us the
capability to rapidly change the messages on our invoices. At the same time, we
can reduce postage costs by distributing mailings among several postal
operators." 

The StreamServe solution gives 3`s editors a web interface in which they can
create and maintain customer messaging for various customer segments. The
documents - about 750,000 four-color invoices each month - are produced, sorted
and divided into two files, ready for printing, one for each of the postal
operators. Through clearer and more personally adapted invoices, calls to
customer service have declined, which consequently provides cost savings. 

"We`re happy with our collaboration with 3, which further reinforces our strong
position in the telecom sector," says Dennis Ladd, StreamServe`s president and
CEO. "In a challenging environment, it`s increasingly important to retain
customers by giving them a personal and consistent customer experience. With our
solutions, businesses reduce their costs for customer service, while at the same
time, documents such as letters to customers and invoices are used to
communicate current information and personalized special offers."
