Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR) continues to expand
its multi-channel communications offerings by adding another
distribution channel to its portfolio of communication solutions
with the introduction of Pitney Bowes’ (NYSE: PBI) new Volly™
secure digital delivery service.
Broadridge clients will be able to communicate with customers
and shareholders using the latest digital technology, as Broadridge
becomes the first to adopt Volly, an opt-in service that enables
consumers to selectively push information into a digital mailbox
they control.
“Consumer preferences are rapidly shifting towards the use of
technology to improve their access to information and their ability
to act upon it. Our newest strategic partnership exemplifies
Broadridge’s continuing commitment to bring the latest
communications technologies to financial service firms and public
companies,” said Doug DeSchutter, President, Customer
Communications, Broadridge. “The Volly secure digital delivery
service will increase our clients’ flexibility, choice and control
over how they communicate with their customers and
shareholders.”
Pitney Bowes’ Volly secure digital delivery service is a new
platform that will empower consumers to receive, view, organize,
and manage bills, statements, financial documents and other content
from multiple providers using a single spam free application. This
consumer-focused delivery and consolidation service will be added
to Broadridge’s portfolio of electronic communications solutions to
enable its brokerage firm and public company clients to provide
their customers with more choice and control over how they receive
and manage their financial communications.
“Combining Volly’s cutting edge technology and innovative
communications tools with our existing operations and processes
will allow us to provide a more comprehensive and cost effective
communication solution for our clients,” continued Mr.
DeSchutter.
The Broadridge strategic partnership with Pitney Bowes furthers
the company’s commitment to multi-channel communications and new
technologies to improve client and shareholder communications. Over
the past several months Broadridge has enhanced its multi-channel
communications platform by:
- Extending its ProxyVote®.com online
proxy voting platform to all major mobile devices,
- Acquiring Forefield, Inc., a leading
provider of real-time sales, education, and client communication
solutions for financial institutions and their advisors,
- Acquiring NewRiver, Inc., a leading
provider of digital communication solutions in the mutual fund
space, and
- Enhancing its existing suite of
multi-channel tools including Investor Mailbox, Advisor Mailbox,
Virtual Shareholder Meeting, and Shareholder Forum.
“We are pleased that Broadridge is our first strategic partner
in the introduction of the Volly secure digital delivery service,”
said Leslie Abi-Karam, Executive Vice President, Pitney Bowes and
President, Volly. “This new service will help Broadridge optimize
their customer communications management in a single
implementation,” continued Abi-Karam.
The strategic partnership was announced by Mr. DeSchutter at a
Pitney Bowes press conference at The Modern Restaurant at The
Museum of Modern Art.
