TeleServices International Group Announces Pact with amplified.com,
Internet Distributor of Digital Music
December 11, 1998 10:27 AM
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleServices International
Group Inc. TSIG , a fully integrated provider of outsourced teleservices and
music CDs through the Internet, announced today that its Compact Connection
subsidiary has entered into an affiliate agreement with amplified.com, a pioneer
in the realm of digital music distribution. amplified.com will provide Compact
Connection, Inc. (CCI) with its private label service, featuring approximately
10,000 titles. This new affiliation positions CCI as a forerunner in the music retail
industry with respect to custom CD compilation and digital download sales. This
new service will be available to CCI's customers during the first week of January
1999.
amplified.com, an Atlanta-based provider of multimedia services over the
Internet, offers web surfers the ability to download music and create customized
CDs. As a result of the agreement, visitors to CCI's internet music website,
www.CompactConnection.com, will be able to listen to 30-second samples of
music in a broad range of genres, including rock, hip-hop, R&B, jazz and
classical. They can "mix" and create their own custom CD compilation which
would be sent to them via mail, or they can elect to purchase and download
music on a per-song basis via Liquid Audio. Customers can then save the songs
on their hard drive and create their own custom CD at home if they have a CD
recorder.
Wayne Parker, President of amplified.com, said "TSIG's ability to link Compact
Connection's e-commerce functionality to its call center will provide customers
with a much more rewarding Internet shopping experience. We are pleased to
be working with such a forward thinking company and look forward to a long and
mutually beneficial relationship."
TSIG has recently completed a major technology upgrade at its call center
operation and has fully integrated its call center operation with CCI's Internet
retail music website. As a result of these upgrades, TSIG is positioned to
become a leading-edge teleservice provider, with the ability to link Internet
e-commerce with its state-of-the-art call center.
TeleServices International Group Inc., is a provider of fully integrated global
teleservices to companies that are in the business of selling products and
services through toll-free numbers and the Internet. Visit TSIG's website at
