La expansión internacional, iniciada con la constitución de TPI Brasil (1999), ha continuado en Chile con la adquisición del 51% de Publiguías (diciembre 2000) y se ha reforzado con la adquisición del 100% del capital de TPI Perú (febrero 2002).

En el año 2001, el Grupo publicó 82 directorios de Páginas Amarillas (20 mill. ejemplares) y 79 libros de Páginas Blancas (más de 21 mill. ejemplares).

En España, las Páginas Amarillas continúan su evolución, con el lanzamiento de nuevos soportes adaptados a los usuarios y más orientados a los anunciantes: Páginas Amarillas de Bolsillo, desgloses hogar/trabajo o pack Nueva Vivienda, que ofrecen nuevos ámbitos, formatos y publicidad "a medida".

TPI manifiesta su interés en adaptar los medios tradicionales a las nuevas tecnologías, lo que se manifiesta con nuevos desarrollos y soportes de nuestros directorios online: Internet, telefonía móvil, PDAs y televisión interactiva.

varetis helps publishers capture the full value of their assets. It does so by giving them the tools they need to cleanse and merge content from different sources, add value to it and generate revenue with it in the form of end-user services and content syndication.

varetis' all-in-one solution for the cleansing, blending and merging of directory information is the Data Funnel. With it, publishers can turn information from various sources into a single, uniform directory, while at the same time adding useful supplementary data to create a high-value, enhanced database.

The output of the Data Funnel can then directly power a number of varetis solutions and capabilities critical to the directory services mission, including:  

·        a powerful search engine designed to meet the special challenges posed by professional white and yellow pages directory services.
·        support of all delivery channels over a common database
·        a call center solution including CTI and IVR
·        support of  access-channel-specific search strategies
·        support of channel-specific result presentation, including yp-specific sorting rules (randomization, weighted randomization)

varetis takes a component-based approach that allows publishers to quickly adapt their service offerings to the changing needs of customers and new business ideas. The building blocks of this approach are:

·        voice-automated service components
·        Location Based Service components, such as mapping, turn-by-turn directions, geocoding, integration in various mobile positioning systems and manual positioning, for different access channels, including the call center.
·        information-delivery components such as voice, SMS and e-mail
·        a self-managed advertising component for rich content collection
·        gateways for international directory access.
