TIAN and Digital Envoy Partner to Optimize Interactions Based on User Need and Location
Integrated Offering Will Improve Business Performance for Service Providers and Enterprises by Targeting Relevant Content
DENVER, COLORADO - September 3, 2002 - TIAN Software Company,
Inc., a leading provider of Opportunity Optimization services
for improving enterprise performance by reacting to every interaction
across channels, today announced a partnership with Digital Envoy,
the leading provider of geo-intelligence solutions. The partnership
combines TIAN's Opportunity Optimization services with Digital Envoy's
geo-targeting capabilities, which non-invasively identify the location
of website visitors down to the city level worldwide. The resulting
offering enables enterprises to optimize opportunities with employees,
suppliers, and partners by presenting them with the content or information
that best meets their needs and location.
By combining geo-targeting capabilities with Opportunity Optimization services, TIAN and Digital Envoy offer service providers and enterprises the ability to understand user intent and respond with information relevant to the context and location of the request, ensuring that users receive the most appropriate content available. For example, sales people can be provided information relevant to their territory; online customers can be shown local products and promotions; and advertisers can present targeted banners. Both companies will offer fully integrated versions of the combined solutions.
"We are excited to offer our current and prospective customers industry-leading Opportunity Optimization services in combination with our industry-leading geo-location technology," said Rob Friedman, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Digital Envoy.
