3L Media AB is the leading Swedish supplier of systems for companies in the Directory and Yellow Page Publishing industry. We are dedicated to provide solutions to customers on the European market, and we are rapidly gaining market.  
Our prime offer is MBS (Media Business System) which is a sales and production system for the Directory & Yellow Pages Publishing industry. MBS has, together with MSS (Media Support Systems), proven to be one of the most competitive solutions on the market giving competitive advantages and cost reductions.  
MBS supports the complete business process – from Segmentation and Allocation to Invoicing and Production.  

3L Media’s customers who are running MBS and MSS today tend to delimit the number of support systems, cut costs and registration time. All this together with low time to market for new products shows the benefits of MBS and MSS.

MBS and MSS are today installed in 10 countries in Europe and are used by 3 of the main actors on the European market. Currently there are on-going installations in two countries. 

Please come and visit us in the exhibition area at EADP in Rome for further information, a presentation or a demonstration. Hope to see you there! 

3L Media AB was founded in 1986 and is a fully owned subsidiary of 4L System AB (publ), which is quoted on the Stockholm stock exchange.

IT2media is your partner for designing, implementing and operating innovative IT solutions in the publishing industry.

At the beginning of 2003, Telefonbuch Verlag Hans Mueller GmbH & Co. KG, of Nuremberg, Germany spun off its IT departments to form an independent company: IT2media GmbH & Co. KG.

The company is headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany. Together with our Leipzig and Munich sites, we employ a total of approximately 90 staff members in the following business areas 

·         Publishing systems for directory publishers and catalogue publishing
·        
Online directory and information solutions
·        
mySAP ERP / mySAP Media (software solutions by SAP®)
·        
Cross Media Publishing
·        
Mobile systems for the field sales force
·        
IT services focussing on media 
·        
Print Service – digital printing centre  

Optimized services on the basis of most specialized – but all inclusive.

We offer single-source IT services: IT strategy and architecture consulting, planning, implementation, including customer-specific development and operation and optimization of IT solutions.
In this connection, we make a conscious effort to avoid IT "gobbledygook".  
This reason in particular makes us the IT service provider for publishing industry companies.
Large portions of our solutions are based on standard software modules. These include products from companies like SAP
®, Microsoft®, IXOS® and Adobe®. By optimizing and integrating processes and systems we have made it our job to help our customers and you to boost the value of their companies.

Just a few of our products: 

-          SalesNetwork 3 is the latest active sales tool that media consultants can use to get selective sales support by means of automatic predesign options and additional client and ancillary information as well as using modern equipment like notebooks, laptops or MDAs to carry out a client dialogue through to closing the order and electronically signing it.

-          MediaBusinessSuite 2.0 – Integrated order processing and contact management system. Our users include small, medium-sized and large-scale publishing organizations. See for yourself how a seemingly monolithic standard software solution can meet the individual requirements of directory publishers and make possible rational data collection.

-          AdCelerator and MicrositeMaster – appropriate ad generation for print and Internet platforms – on a fast and favourably priced basis

-          PageBuilder – make-up program with a range of new functions for laying out directories.

 The names that are marked with a ®  are registered trademarks of SAP, Microsoft, IXOS and Adobe.

Volt Delta - Connecting People and Information

Volt Delta provides integrated solutions to support services such as Operator Assisted Yellow Pages, Talking Yellow Pages, Voice Portals, Location Based Services, National and International White Pages and Enhanced

Information Services.  

Since Volt Delta's solutions integrate call centres, data and telephony our customers are able to offer rich information services that allow branding, multiple service variants, call completion and SMS messaging. Our fully geo-coded database products are designed to provide location-based services and support both operators in a call centre as well as customers using the Web.

For Directory Publishers, an Operator Assisted Yellow Pages Service offers another channel to market for their data and customers, one that has become even more important with the huge growth in mobile telephones and one that complements both traditional and Internet based products.

Volt Delta Europe operates from offices in the UK, The Netherlands and Germany. Volt Delta is a wholly owned subsidiary of Volt Information Sciences quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (VOL).
