Volt Delta International introduces new solution for printed Yellow Pages directories

Munich/Sunbury/Athens, 21 September 2006 – Volt Delta International, a subsidiary of US based Volt Information Sciences (NYSE: VOL), has significantly upgraded its offering of products for directory publishers with the recent addition of a complete system for publishing printed yellow page directories.

The Directory Publishing System (DPS) enables directory publishers to manage accounts, contracts, customers, advertisements, design and all major workflows essential to the production of printed directories, including sales commissioning and pagination.

According to Reiner Jakubietz, Head of Directory Publishing Solutions for Volt Delta International, DPS excels in a number of areas:

"DPS is designed to ensure a fully customisable workflow, which not only means that directory publishers can implement the system without having to change their existing workflows, but, once the need for change does arise, they can perform most adaptations by themselves and on the fly. It's a Microsoft platform developed using MS technology tools, which ensures a built-in level of familiarity and comfort for users. The pagination phase is extremely fast, which ultimately gives publishers more time to sell ads. Finally, we can seamlessly integrate DPS with our data management product, Subscriber Data Funnel (SDF), so that its administration and commissioning functionality can be used not only for print directories, but for Web, automated and agent-based yellow pages."

DPS, developed by the Greek software house Autographic, is suitable both for directory publishers who have a heavy focus on print, as well as those who have already introduced, or are planning on introducing, electronic directories to supplement their offering to advertisers and users. In addition, it can be implemented as a hosted solution, allowing customers to save on their initial investment of time and resources.
