Expert Premiere Global Services consultants focus on identifying, analysing, defining and implementing the right
solutions for a whole range of communication challenges in order to optimise clients’ business communication
processes. Premiere Global Services has helped thousands of companies identify previously undiscovered value and
profit potential by enabling organisations to strengthen their market position, increase their product sales, improve
their customer service and enhance internal communications and employee motivation. For example, one of the
biggest sources of profit potential in a company is in replacing its manual and paper-based business processes with
automated e-based solutions. These are processes that appear again and again in the areas of: lifecycle management,
customer relationship management (CRM), HR management, financial management and internal communications.
6. 05 Consulting Premiere Global Services
Some examples of Premiere Global Services solutions in action:
Wholesale and distribution
The accounting departments of companies with high billing traffic face a major challenge every day. Premiere Global’s
eBilling and eInvoicing solution automates billing and bill delivery. A company will therefore not only save up to
three quarters of its processing, paper and postage costs, it will also make a valuable contribution to protecting the
environment.
Financial management
Payment and trade confirmations, account statements, investor information and accounting-related documents
are constantly being sent out by financial and insurance companies. Using PGiCOS, traditional paper deliveries are
replaced by digital document solutions. Automating these processes not only saves costs and time, it also improves
customer satisfaction.
Investor relations
Stricter compliance guidelines demand transparent communication processes, particularly in the investor relations
area. Premiere Global Services ensures organisations meet these requirements by providing conferencing solutions
which offer the ability to simplify scheduling as well as record and provide meeting content. The secure archiving
and easy administration of multimedia communication creates long-term transparency for all groups with vested
interests.
Accounting
Financial collection procedures can be inefficient and expensive and most basic paper-based reminder
communications are ineffective. With the digitalisation of the reminder via a voice message, Premiere Global Services
helps companies to reduce process costs by approximately two thirds and to accelerate the receipt of outstanding
payments by, on average, three days.
HR management
The training and management of employees in remote locations poses a growing challenge for many companies.
Premiere Global’s conferencing solutions help HR and training departments to replace business trips for training
purposes with cost-efficient and user-friendly online training and at the same time limit the impact on the
environment.
7. “Individual tailoring of
processes to the requirements
of those involved and their
individual objectives makes every
project unique. However, in all
cases we guarantee optimised
business performance.”

9. 08 SaaS Premiere Global Services
SaaS - Software as a Service
PGiCOS
Without the need to house expensive software or IT infrastructure,
a Company can access the PGiCOS and all its associated
technology through the internet 24/7, in order to plan,
initiate and analyse its total communication activities
- from planning its next investor relations event
to improving its accounts receivable process.
PGiCOS brings together the various modalities
of email, fax, text messaging, voice, audio and
web conferencing into customer-tailored,
communications solutions to streamline
a whole host of Companies’ daily business
processes. PGiCOS is easy to access and
allows global companies with dispersed
offices to control activities centrally –
bringing standardisation and cost savings.
Global performance
The benefits of Premiere Global’s SaaS model are
significant. Clients need carry no costs for setting
up IT infrastructure, for maintaining it or keeping it
upgraded and up-to-date – but still benefit from a system
built on the very latest technology. Premiere Global Services has 20
redundant, high-performance UNIX (SUN Solaris) data centres distributed around the
world at strategically important business locations to guarantee high throughput volumes
of emails, faxes, text messages and voice messages. In the conferencing area, Premiere
Global Services provides the most tightly-knit network of dial-in nodes worldwide, so as
to guarantee optimum availability and local billing for its customers.

Converting opportunities
into successes
Communication is a critical aspect of all
businesses today. It is important to know if and
when messages are going to arrive, if and how
they will be consumed, what content will capture
interest, and ideally, what value the recipient
will receive from the message. PGiCOS provides a
comprehensive reporting structure for this purpose.
This defines the type, channel and time of the delivery, as
well as confirmation of receipt and click through behaviour.
The recipients can also react to notifications via feedback channels.
For example, as part of Premiere Global’s Web Conferencing service, live
voting can be requested or open commentaries can be specifically edited for
a particular person. This control tool is designed to help companies collect
information about their communication partners and use this to target specific
groups with tailored messages. In the e-mail newsletter area it is possible to
send individual product offers to customer groups who have already
demonstrated their interest in the past by visiting the associated product links.
Premiere Global Services has an advanced billing system and provides a number
of pricing options, such as subscription and license pricing, that are simple to
understand and tailored to customers across all levels of usage, offering them
a more predictable spend with us. These payment options enable small and
medium-sized enterprises to work with tools that were previously only perhaps
accessible for larger organisations.
