[Johannesburg] Tracker has provided South Africans with an effective deterrent against motor vehicle theft, a fast and reliable way of recovering stolen automobiles since 1996.
Four years ago Tracker recognised the superior software and services distributed by Alicornio Africa on behalf of Pitney Bowes Business Insight. Taking the decision to acquire software solutions on offer in South Africa helped to relieve their challenges related to information management difficulties which resulted in lower efficiencies than desired.
Sagent Data Flow from Pitney Bowes provided Tracker with both the ability to solve current problems and the tools which allow them to improve their business processes and data management strategy into the future.
Alicornio Africa is able to provide the platform for any data integration challenge, be it data migration, data integration, data cleansing, data quality, data warehousing or business intelligence projects.

Pitney Bowes South Africa and local software partner, Alicornio Africa host EngageOne launch in Johannesburg
Johannesburg, 16 February 2010 – “Do you ever wonder how you communicate with your customers? How you handle your interactive document needs – email, SMS and social networking? And how effectively you manage communications taking into consideration branding, compliance, and record-keeping?”
These are key questions businesses should be asking themselves today, according to Jaap Nieboer, Software Manager at Pitney Bowes South Africa, who adds that the benefits of interactive customer correspondence are enormous.
“Quality data – or the lack of it – can impact massively on the bottom line of a business,” comments Nieboer.
With this in mind, Pitney Bowes and local South African software partner, Alicornio Africa, today host an EngageOne launch event in Johannesburg, called Drive the Effectiveness of your Interactive Correspondence with Quality Data to show businesses how to get the most out of their communications with their customers; and how to make customer data work harder.

So how does EngageOne do it?
“It is more flexible, yet allows more control than other solutions; and is highly productive, accurate, and ensures personal interaction each and every time.
Furthermore, it ensures standardized branding and compliance; facilitates improved business process automation; affords significantly reduced time and cost savings; and makes for increased customer satisfaction,” comments Pitney Bowes’ Nieboer.
He goes on to explain: “EngageOne improves customer communication by generating real-time interactive communications. It also tailors individual communications to the specific needs of the interaction, and delivers this instantaneously through the customer’s preferred delivery channel.
There is no need to worry about branding and compliance issues either, as EngageOne does it for you – automatically; with digital signatures and an archive of all messages,” he points out.
In addition to that, EngageOne integrates with eMessaging, enabling two-way email and SMS communications. It supports both out-bound and in-bound e-communications; and is able to streamline response handling of in-bound email/SMS; as well as manage and resolve delivery failures.
“Business process automation with built-in document management, workflow, Web services and optional archive for easy integration in existing systems, promotes end-user efficiency and ease-of-use. It offers flexibility, with the right amount of control and ensures accuracy, by prompting for information in-context, as the document unfolds before your eyes,”.
Commercial-grade scalability and performance furthermore means that EngageOne can support thousands of concurrent users and requests, which equals reduced costs (both human and infrastructure); and easily met service level agreements (SLAs).
