UNICEF Selects VISTA Fulfillment
Removing the Roadblocks to Sharing Important Information about the World's Children
April 26, 2007 —VISTA is proud to announce a strategic partnership with UNICEF Publications for the provision of a fully hosted turnkey solution to support the distribution of UNICEF publications and the fulfillment of standing orders around the world to UNICEF field offices, national committees, executive offices and other United Nations agencies.
UNICEF selected VISTA’s author2reader™ system based on its capability to efficiently and accurately manage requests for key UNICEF publications like State of the World’s Children, the most comprehensive and authoritative report on the world’s youngest citizens in 195 countries and territories, and the fact that the maintenance and upkeep would be handled by VISTA’s trained professionals by utilizing the hosted version of VISTA’s system.
Both VISTA and UNICEF are very enthusiastic about the partnership and the potential to provide wider and more efficient distribution channels for UNICEF publications. Patricia Moccia, Head of Publications explains, “The author2reader fulfillment system will give us the tools and flexibility we need to carry out the organization’s mandate to advocate for the rights of every child, everywhere.”
“We are proud to support UNICEF’s important mission and excited about the prospect of a long and mutually beneficial relationship,” added Brian Gibson, CEO VISTA North America.
Founded in 1946, UNICEF helps save, protect and improve the lives of children in 156 countries through immunization, education, health care, nutrition, clean water and sanitation. UNICEF is non-partisan and its cooperation is free of discrimination. In everything it does, the most disadvantaged children and the countries in greatest need have priority.
