ANTWERP and ST. LOUIS - May 11, 2011 - Truvo, a leading provider of search and digital advertising solutions in Belgium, Portugal and Ireland, and Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced that Truvo has deployed the Amdocs Intelligent Search software within Golden Pages, Truvo’s local business search website group. The Amdocs deployment will improve the customer experience for users accessing the website via a computer or mobile device across Truvo’s regional markets.
"The Amdocs Intelligent Search solution complements our strong local content as well as our user and advertiser knowledge to bring a new website that helps us improve the consumer experience with more relevant search results," said Donat Rétif, Truvo CEO. "We will be able to grow consumer traffic to our Website and ensure better-qualified leads for our advertisers, thus providing them with an even higher return on their investment."
Amdocs Intelligent Search replaces Golden Pages’ existing search engine. It improves Truvo’s ability to define new search policies and provides consumers with more relevant search results based on context and location. Additionally, Amdocs Intelligent Search’s unique architecture simplifies search request processing, reducing hardware requirements and total cost of ownership.
"Competition in the local search and advertising space is intensifying with the advent of new players," said Brian Shepherd, group president and head of global marketing at Amdocs. "Providers like Truvo who invest in enhancing the consumer search experience and offering businesses more effective advertising capabilities will be able to win advertiser loyalty and market share."
