Martinsried, Munich November 4th, 2008 – SHS VIVEON, a solution provider for end-to-end customer management, has acquired Telekom Austria as a new customer and has thus taken a first key step into the Austrian telecommunications market. The business and IT consulting company automates decision-making processes in Telekom Austria's credit management system. SHS VIVEON will use its customized GUARDEAN RiskSuite software. In addition to implementing this software, SHS VIVEON is also involved as an integration consultant. By adding Telekom Austria, SHS VIVEON has increased its portfolio of customers with a further key player on the European telecommunications market.

Telekom Austria will add process automation to its existing risk management system, thus allowing decisions to be taken faster. SHS VIVEON will supply the software platform: GUARDEAN RiskSuite offers a system-supported decision-making tool for managing customer risks and in future it will control the decision-making process for new orders. The customized solution from the GUARDEAN product family will also be used for mass customer business in the telecommunications and financial services sectors to automate and accelerate credit-related decision-making processes.

SHS VIVEON will be responsible for expanding Telekom Austria's credit management services. The company is responsible for technical implementation of the GUARDEAN RiskSuite and also for integrating this into the existing credit management system. In addition to providing interfaces and implementing process workflows, this also includes adjusting existing and developing new score cards.
