SFR will implement Cameleon to configure service offerings
as part of a global project to improve information systems
CHICAGO & TOULOUSE, France--(Business Wire)--Access Commerce (Euronext:7424), a leading provider of e-commerce
and configurator software, today announced that a significant new
contract has been signed in December 2007 with SFR, the French
telecommunications operator. SFR is a first tier operator owned by
Vivendi and Vodafone, with more than 18 million customers and revenue
of 8.6 billion Euros ($12.4 billion dollars) in 2006.
As part of a project to improve their invoicing and product
management systems, SFR has selected Cameleon to configure their
commercial service offerings. Adding to existing software tools,
Cameleon will be used by multiple SFR sales channels including their
on line store, call centers and in 750 SFR branded retail outlets.
Jacques Soumeillan, President and CEO of Access Commerce, stated:
"This important new customer win once again demonstrates the
relevance, fit and strategic value that Cameleon provides to companies
selling services, which represents a major growth opportunity for
Access Commerce. Using Cameleon, our customers reduce time-to-market
for new products and make it easier to sell them through any sales
channel - field sales reps, call centers, retail stores, distributors
or customer self-service."
This contract with SFR comes on top of the previously reported 19%
growth in the Cameleon business during the first three quarters of
2007, and has the potential to produce significant additional revenue
for the Company in the coming years.
