Accenture and Seisint Form Strategic Alliance to Help Organizations Unlock the Power of Data

Business Wire, Feb 28, 2001

For example, Seisint currently works with Naviant Marketing Solutions to deliver precision marketing solutions to Web advertisers, Web publishers and consumer marketers, using the company's proprietary High-Tech Household File database of more than 31 million participating consumers. Before working with Seisint, it was difficult for Naviant to extract very accurate information from the database. In addition, complex query responses took days and even weeks to complete. With Seisint technology, it now takes only seconds to provide a user count and lists are often fulfilled immediately.

In addition to Accenture Technology Ventures, Seisint is backed by EMC Corporation and BankAtlantic.
