Business Wire
Deutsche Telekom AG (FRA: DTE), Europe´s largest
telecommunications provider, has selected SAS® software as its
international standard for managing marketing campaigns in its
T-Home and T-Mobile subsidiaries. SAS, one of the world´s largest
software companies and the leader in business analytics, won the
contract in a competitive bid.
T-Home has already been working successfully with SAS marketing
campaign management. The software will now be deployed
internationally as a company standard, including for T-Mobile.
Teaming up with SAS as its preferred partner for campaign
management software, Deutsche Telekom aims at optimizing its
customer service profiles and moving one step closer to its
clients. Both T-Home and T-Mobile expect to better serve the
individual needs of each customer with SAS.
“This is an exceptional endorsement and validation of SAS by
Europe´s largest telecommunications company,” said Wolf
Lichtenstein, General Manager of SAS Germany. “As a trusted
technology partner, SAS will support Deutsche Telekom in
streamlining customer communications, improving service and
enhancing each client’s overall experience with T-Home and
T-Mobile.”
The marketing automation and marketing optimization software
selected by Deutsche Telekom is central to SAS® Customer
Intelligence, a comprehensive suite of business analytic solutions
that enable organizations in a host of industries to make smarter
marketing decisions and improve customer interaction, profitability
and loyalty.
Enhanced version of SAS customer Intelligence
released
SAS today announced the latest version of SAS Customer
Intelligence, which includes enhanced planning and execution of
marketing campaigns, and improved integration between online and
offline analytics. It is available today as an on-demand (or
hosted) offering, with a traditional on-site version available in
October.
“The new version of SAS Customer Intelligence significantly
expands SAS’ leadership in enterprise marketing management (EMM),”
said Jeff Levitan, General Manager of SAS’ Global Customer
Intelligence business. “By adding additional marketing mix analysis
and marketing operations management capabilities to the foundation
of customer analytics, campaign management, and campaign
optimization, SAS expects to significantly increase market
share.”
Additionally, SAS Customer Intelligence is now integrated with
Assetlink’s Marketing Operations Management suite, which supports
efficient budgeting, planning, workflow and digital asset
management for marketers. SAS Customer Intelligence, combined with
cost and time efficiencies gained through Assetlink, helps
marketers increase revenues while reducing the cost of marketing
activities.
"We continue to see growing interest in marketing performance
management and it is increasingly becoming one of the requirements
for EMM. However, few vendors to date have a robust prepackaged
marketing performance management (MPM) solution, particularly for
marketing operations and marketing mix optimization. It is becoming
a major differentiator for EMM vendors,” said Kimberly Collins,
managing vice president at Gartner Research.
Designed for business users, SAS Marketing Mix Advisor improves
planning and forecasting by calculating the effects of marketing
tactics across business units, brands, geographies and channels.
Available as an OnDemand solution, SAS Marketing Mix Advisor
consolidates all media and promotions analysis in one,
easy-to-access location.
The latest SAS Customer Intelligence better integrates online
analytics and offline sources. With updated online analytics
offerings, marketing organizations can now synchronize activities
across all marketing communications, including customer
transactions, store or branch office interactions, online shopping
navigation, call center conversations, and mobile marketing message
responses.
SAS Customer Intelligence solutions enable companies to deepen
customer insights, choreograph customer interactions and
continuously improve the organization’s marketing performance. In
addition to Deutsche Telekom, organizations worldwide using SAS to
support customer initiatives include Citi, DeutschlandCard, First
Citizens Bank, Grupo Santander, ScotiaBank, Staples, US Bank,
Vodafone Australia and Wolters Kluwer.
