...Customer Information Strategy Convergys Case 1. Convergys, a leader in contract-based business process outsourcing services, has been successful in acquiring high-profile customers (e.g. Verizon, FedEx & Starbucks, among others) across a wide variety of industries. Despite Convergys’ impressive customer list, the company has seen its operating margin decrease about 20% over the past 5 years. Key decision makers within the company believe that this decline is due, at least in part, to issues relating to client retention and acquisition strategies. At present, Convergys classifies its customer accounts into 3 tiers: A, B & C. “A” customers are considered to be of highest value, followed by “B” and “C” customers. Although the idea of internally segmenting customers to most effectively allocate company resources (to maximize profit) is sound, the segmentation strategy ought to be well designed and it must incorporate metrics that reflect specific attributes of the industries being served, while at the same time aligning with Convergys’ overall philosophy and business objectives (such as growth, for example). As evidenced by the continuous decline in Convergys’ operating margins over the past 5 years, contrasted with the high quality service it provides and the growth of the specific companies and industries it services, it is apparent that Convergys’ approach to growth is not particularly effective. In this case analysis, we will provide recommendations on strategies Convergys...

...The Innovator in Healthcare Workforce Solutions ANNUAL REPORT I N N O V AT I O N I N H E A L T H C A R E W O R K F O R C E S O L U T I O N S Dear AMN Healthcare Shareholders, 2011 was a year of continued market recovery, solid execution, and evolution. Our clients’ desire for more workforce solutions and innovative service offerings, coupled with AMN’s leading position in this space, has more clearly differentiated our value proposition and put us at the forefront of growth and thought leadership. More than ever, we are leveraging our stronger talent, capabilities and infrastructure as a meaningful differentiator in the market, and have earned the privilege of serving the largest and most diverse group of clients and clinicians nationwide. A REVIEW OF 2011 growth in Travel Nursing, there were a number of other key highlights during 2011: • We expanded our national leadership position in clinical managed services programs by adding over 20 new MSP clients, representing an estimated $80 million in projected annualized gross spend under management. In 2011, our revenues through MSP contracts grew by 38% on a pro forma basis to $185 million, representing a third of our Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing business. Penetration of MSP revenues is primarily in Nurse Staffing at this time, and we believe over the next three years there will be a similar shift in the Allied Staffing and Locum Tenens businesses. AMN is well-positioned to capitalize on this continuing trend...
