Thomas Cook has selected the e2 customer communications management solution to deliver personalised travel booklets to its tourism customers, according to Pitney Bowes.

Thomas Cook began optimising its customer communication in 2005. In the search for a suitable solution for co-ordinated customer communication management, the company set four priorities, which were realised in co-operation with Group 1 Software.

Group 1 Software`s solution for Thomas Cook includes the e2 suite, an application for electronic billing and electronic bill presentment, as well as electronic payment.

Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) received a seven-year, $35 million extension to its existing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) billing contract with the City of Houston, according to CNN Money.

Under the terms of the contract, ACS recovers ambulance transport fees for the Houston Fire Department from third-party payers, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance firms. As part of the billing service, ACS also provides all mobile software and hardware required for the city`s EMS operation.

"ACS pioneered the development and implementation of an electronic field data collection solution in Houston in 1995, providing a solution wirelessly coupled to an EMS billing and collection system," said Alfred Moran, deputy director of finance and administration at the City of Houston.
