Manchester, United Kingdom, May 11, 2011 – Cincom Systems is pleased to introduce Cincom ChannelStream™ to the UK market; it will be presented at the country’s largest broker event, BIBA, in Manchester on May 11-12. ChannelStream is a tool that helps cut costs and streamline your document output processes, all by maintaining an excellent customer service.

As insurers and insurance brokers suffer from increasing levels of competition, greater costs of regulation and more selective customers they often overlook  written communications as a way to save money. A recent McKinsey business technology report states that financial institutions might spend 0.5 percent of their revenues on print and document services. By investing in appropriate tools and processes, companies could expect cost savings of seven to ten times the amount invested. In the pursuit of cost cutting, however, it’s crucial to maintain the high quality of customer service and communications as effective communications have great potential for improving customer loyalty, according to Forrester Research.

Managing document output is one of the most complex steps in customer communications. Mail-intensive businesses often have a heterogeneous environment with a wide variety of document composition engines delivering output streams in different formats, and all must be picked up correctly and automatically. The document jobs then need to be sorted, merged or split – and also enriched with graphical items or post-processing support such as bar codes. Lastly, various output channels including e-mail, web portals, SMS text messages and archival systems have to be served and postage for traditional mail optimised wherever possible.

Companies that send more than one million documents per year and that suffer from lack of flexibility, reliance on IT or external vendors, generic and non-personalised documents and high postal costs will find in Cincom ChannelStream a valuable tool to streamline their communications, establish or maintain an excellent customer service and significantly cut costs, immediately and constantly.
