CGI Announces Availability of Web Promises(TM) for Customer-Driven, Online Collections Activity
FAIRFAX, VA, Oct. 16 /- CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leading provider of information technology and business process services, announces the availability of Web Promises, a Web agent that organizations can easily integrate into existing collections systems to facilitate 24 x 7 agent-less collection activity, including most aspects of debt negotiations, commitments, payments and settlements. Two financial institutions have already signed up to utilize CGI's Web Promises solution, including Fifth Third Bank, a large financial institution in the Midwest with over $111 billion in assets.
CGI's Web Promises enables organizations to put their collections activities on the Web quickly and cost effectively, and to start collecting more money now--without adding additional staff or overhead. This new tool provides consumers a comfortable avenue to resolve their delinquency in a self-service mode, on their schedule--leading to increased collections effectiveness. Timelier, proactive treatment and resolution of customer delinquency via new channels with minimal collector involvement allows organizations to focus on customers requiring collector assistance.
