Circulation classification & audit

The project enabled the clients to get accurate snapshot of circulation at any point of time in the 6 month audit period and beyond. Spotting the trends in average circulation and thus forecasting was made easier. Several manual processes were automated as a result. The end result was an efficient and timely publisher’s statement compiling drive during each audit period. All backlog audits were caught up and department stays current on all audits since then.

Usps delivery point validation

TCS entrusted Valene Tech Services to design a software solution and manage the project to validate the delivery address of every piece of mail initiated by TCS. Although the USPS maintains a delivery point validation database and distributes it monthly, it was decided that a Pitney Bowes software package called Code1 would be utilized. The challenge for the Valene Tech Services and TCS team was to ensure that all 18 applications within TCS that allow for the addition or the maintenance of a subscribers address be updated to call the Code1 product to validate the address information.

Flat sequencing system

Valene Tech Services architectural staff reviewed the FSS pre-sort requirements and with their in-depth knowledge of the existing pre-sort system provided a detailed estimate of 3,200 hours. Having full confidence in Valene Tech Services, and a financial incentive to participate in the optional FSS period offered by the USPS, Time inc. approved the project. Valene Tech Services then constructed a team that consisted of Valene Tech Services onsite management staff, Valene Tech Services offsite developers and testers, and internal TCS employees.

Qualification

TCS entrusted Valene Tech Services to build this mission critical and industry leading application. Valene Tech Services designed and built the architecture for a user controlled rule based query qualification process. This process externalizes customer attributes in a DB2 database and allows the client to describe in “English” who they want to receive particular magazine efforts. The client defined “English” criteria are then transferred to the mainframe from the client application utilizing Sybase to DB2 replication. Once on the mainframe, a Query Builder process builds and executes dynamic queries to identify the recipients of the targeted magazine content. This application also allows the client to define a priority of efforts, number of efforts to be served, and evaluation order to be considered.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance is a complex part of the insurance industry where the insuring company takes sub insurance to protect their investments. The Reinsurance is a product developed to manage the various activities of reinsurance such as Facultative and Treaties easily. It caters to both proportional and non proportional, inward and outward, treaties and facultative investment.
