PARIS, January 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a global telecoms software vendor specializing in Mobile Money and Value-Added Services (VAS) today announced a partnership agreement with Xtract, a leading provider of advanced analytics solutions, powered by social intelligence.

The combined forces of eServGlobal's PromoMax solution and Xtract's Social Links service will provide mobile network operators with the ultimate weapon to target socially profiled customers with real time promotions, maximising investment and minimising churn.

PromoMax empowers operators to deploy individually targeted, diversified and timely promotions quickly to market. Social Links integrates seamlessly with the PromoMax platform to provide sophisticated advanced analytics, including social aspects of subscribers.

PromoMax has been benchmarked for 50+ million subscribers and 300+ million daily service events; the solution is currently running 20+ simultaneous active promotions at one of eServGlobal's customers, reaching peaks of 1.8 million rewards per day granted on a human real time mode.

We are excited to develop a strong partnership with Xtract which will, in turn, bring our customers even greater value."

"PromoMax and Social Links provide an end-to-end solution to mobile operators for implementing successful customer value management strategies," commented Mika Lindholm, CEO, Xtract, "Xtract Social Links brings best-in-class advanced analytics for predicting behaviour of subscribers so that mobile operators can approach subscribers proactively, while PromoMax brings the capability to deliver the promotions real time and create dialogue with subscribers."

Social Links exports the customer profiles to the PromoMax platform, tagged with the appropriate promotion ID, allowing PromoMax to dynamically update the eligible customers for the relevant promotion.
