OfferWorksTM is a Java-based Offer Management and Delivery platform designed to deliver personalized offers to the right customers, at the right time, through the right channels. OfferWorksTM is designed for marketing functions seeking to improve customer loyalty, sales, and profits.
OfferWorksTM consists of a suite of integrated modules, built utilizing IBM’s WebSphere product, that addresses the entire offer lifecycle; from offer creation to closed-loop analysis of offer efficacy and profitability.

OfferWorksTM consists of the following modules:
OfferStudio- A web-based module used for the creation and management of offers and corresponding business rules to drive offer personalization/relevancy.
