BOULDER, Colo., April 28, 2009
InfoPrint Solutions Company, the joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, today announced that One2One Communications has chosen the InfoPrint 5000, a full-color production inkjet system, to extend its leadership in personalized advertising printed directly onto statements. One2One specializes in the design, development, processing and multi-platform delivery of high quality documents and is currently working on customized print pilots with multiple U.S. cable operators and international automotive finance companies.
One2One targets customers in the telecommunications and automotive financial industries who require large monthly mailings, often up to millions of pages, and has been encouraging clients to implement TransPromo, the combination of must-read documents like bills and statements with personalized, promotional materials, for more than seven years. After an extensive competitive analysis, One2One chose the InfoPrint 5000 due to its speed, print quality, reliability, ease of use and total cost of print.
"The InfoPrint 5000 with its high-speed and full-color capabilities is a perfect fit for the TransPromo space. Our awareness and understanding of what TransPromo offers, combined with the knowledge and expertise of the InfoPrint staff, puts our company in a key leadership role in the TransPromo space," said Travis Howe, Vice President of Sales for One2One. "We realize that our clients are looking for easier and lower cost ways of printing which is why we’ve had such momentum with TransPromo. We can speak to all of the stakeholders, from the CIO to the CMO, who understand the value of touch points with their customers through targeted and relevant messaging. This is a value we share with the InfoPrint team."
InfoPrint Solutions has steadily enhanced and expanded the functionality of the InfoPrint 5000 color solution since the launch of the first model in 2007. Today the platform is available in several configurations, all field upgradable, with speeds ranging from 100 to over 400 feet per minute, and a choice of inks and print resolutions.
"By selecting the InfoPrint 5000 to fulfill the growing volume of TransPromo applications, One2One has expanded its capability to help clients differentiate their written communications to their customers," said Chris Cosgrove, VP and GM West and Central Region for InfoPrint Solutions. "InfoPrint is extremely pleased to have been selected by One2One to grow its TransPromo business and to count them among our long list of customers in production."
