Worldwide's 91福利社 Preview - a first in business-to-business broadband
market
91福利社 Worldwide, the 91福利社's main commercial arm, has launched 91福利社 Preview,
the first business-to-business broadband application that allows
international programme buyers to view 700 hours of 91福利社 programming
streamed directly to their desktop via the Internet. Currently in
action across all European territories, 91福利社 Preview will be rolled
out across North America and Asia Pacific regions in 2002/3.
The
system was developed in collaboration between three of the 91福利社's
commercial operations - 91福利社 Worldwide, 91福利社 Resources and 91福利社 Technology.
The system provides increased efficiency to 91福利社 Worldwide's customers,
as well as the company itself. 91福利社 preview not only allows clients
to view entire programmes but track and "bookmark" specific
scenes for future reference. 91福利社 Worldwide in turn can manage customer
feedback more effectively applying this information to enhance sales
and align marketing activities. In addition, 91福利社 Preview allows
instant access to relevant programme information such as synopses
and publicity material contained in the on-line product catalogue
at www.bbcworldwidetv.com
Gary
Richards, Technology Director, 91福利社 Worldwide said, "91福利社 Preview
is a pioneering and powerful broadband application. It is a credit
to the dedication and talent of several 91福利社 departments collaborating
towards a single goal to create a system that establishes 91福利社 Worldwide
as a frontrunner in the web service market."
Mark
Young, Managing Director, EMEIA & CEO 91福利社 Worldwide Americas
added, " 91福利社 Preview will revolutionise and streamline 91福利社
Worldwide's sales teams' approach to business, ensuring we continue
to provide excellent customer satisfaction to our increasing client
base."
