As your customers start questioning whether your company can deliver their bills and statements electronically, you will most likely face the challenge of deciding whether to set up your own electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP) or electronic statement presentment (ESP) solution. Not only will new electronic delivery allow you to better serve your customers and reduce the cost of paperbased mailings, but it will enable your company to significantly improve your customer service capabilities.

However, there are many barriers to entry in this market such as purchasing IT equipment, training employees and processing email notifications and e-statements.

Implementing a secure, reliable and personalized electronic messaging solution can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. In addition, some solutions can take years to implement. How can you ensure that your company is able to quickly and efficiently set up an eMessaging solution that meets your business and customer needs? You turn to the market leader.

Electronic Delivery Options

The BÖWE One Customer Service Electronic Presentment solution offers multiple presentment options that allow your company to take advantage of the many delivery channels the Internet has to offer.

Options:

• Presentment at a company branded Web site with email notifications sent to enrolled users
• Delivery via secure email to a consumer’s email address, ensuring that only the intended recipient can view an emailed document

Electronic Statement Design

On-line statements and bills can either have the same look and feel as your company’s current printed statements or be completely redesigned to take advantage of Internet technologies. Statements are dynamically rendered upon request in HTML or PDF format, and can include links to additional services and personalized messages.

Targeted Marketing

With BÖWE One, businesses can easily profile their customers based on selected demographic and marketing research information. These profiles can be used to define special marketing messages using text or graphics. For example, if a specific text message is defined for a targeted group of customers, the text can appear in a static box or in a scrolling banner ad when the statement is requested.

Reporting

BÖWE One offers standard reports for tracking enrollment in electronic delivery services, and the date which current and previous statements have been viewed. The service enables companies to define new report criteria and parameters including:

• Demographic information such as city, state, and ZIP
• Statement summary information such as amount due, due date, and previous payment
• Customized, biller-defined information such as transaction details and account information not found in a billing file

Customer Service

A Web-based interface allows customer service representatives to remotely access account profiles to perform new customer enrollments, change passwords and email addresses. Customer service representatives can access current and historical information to answer questions related to statement details such as transactions and payments. They can also use this information to generate customer reprints and email statements upon request.

Data Transformation

The BÖWE One Customer Service Electronic Presentment solution enables your company to convert billing data from AFP, AFPDS, ASCII, DJDE, Metacode or PCL format to XML for easy data mining and presentment capabilities. Your XML data is securely stored in a database and only accessible by authenticated customers and internal users.
