NORCROSS, Ga., Oct. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EasyLink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (Nasdaq:ESIC) (www.easylink.com), a global provider of comprehensive cloud-based messaging services and e-commerce solutions, today announced that a national provider of fitness and sports centers with over 90 locations in the United States, has selected EasyLink's Voice Notifications Service for call automation.
EasyLink Voice Notifications integrates with the fitness center's business systems to detect member non-payments resulting from a credit card expiration, a denied transaction, or a past due invoice. As a result, automated voice messages are then sent to the account holders. The interactive broadcast system is designed to improve membership continuity and speed collection times by replacing manual calling with proactive batch messaging. EasyLink Notifications also enables the customer to electronically track message deliveries and change or add messages as often as needed.
EasyLink Notifications Service is a cloud-based service that allows customers to setup and trigger interactive voice, email, SMS, and fax messages for a multitude of business applications including collections, reminders, delivery notifications, status changes and pickup reminders through a simple web interface. Customers have the ability to view message delivery details in near real time.
"Interactive notifications are rapidly becoming integrated, transactional processes across a myriad of industries to improve business communications and increase customer satisfaction," said Kevin Maloney, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing of EasyLink Services. "EasyLink's cloud-based Notifications Service allows all types of information to be exchanged faster and more cost-efficiently by replacing disparate and disconnected messaging systems."
