We turn your vision into reality
DREAM BIG,
DELIVER BIGGER
Do you struggle with manual processes? Our industry expertise and out-the-box thinking delivers innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions. We accelerate delivery using state-of-the-art platforms such as Salesforce, allowing businesses to focus more efficiently on products and customers.
What we do
We streamline workflows, increase efficiencies, and transform processes. Daring, opinionated, and challengers of the status quo, we adopt a holistic end-to-end approach which captures evidence-based insights to inform decisions and to enable you achieve better business outcomes.
Consultancy
We provide strategy and consulting to transform your company – whether that’s to drive growth, secure efficiencies or diversify your business. We work with you to align your technology and business strategies and create a robust, costed technology roadmap with dependencies that ensures you realise the benefits of the digital transformation you are seeking.
System Reviews
From submissions, editorial and production to sales, marketing, publicity and across the whole workflow, insights and reporting capabilities, we review your software across the entire publishing lifecycle. You’ll receive a report reviewing the product’s architecture, security, infrastructure, functionality, people, process and governance and a list of prioritised recommendations.
Support
To maintain your Salesforce applications, we provide support services ranging from just 4 days a month to a dedicated individual for 5 days a week – and all the way through to an entire team. We can work alongside your internal technology support team, or we can provide the complete service – working with your business users to help them get the most out of your systems.
accelerating success through salesforce
We leverage Salesforce as a low code platform to develop customer specific solutions with modules like Publicity or Advertising. Also, we implement standard Salesforce CRM, Case Management, and Marketing Cloud and integrate them with your existing technology architecture to ensure a seamless experience.
Salesforce Accelerators
In response to common issues faced by publishers globally, we have developed a number of solutions including a CRM accelerator adapted to the needs of publishers, a publicity module to manage lists, and an advertising module to book ad campaigns for new products and more! The modules are designed to be able to minimise implementation times and allow teams to focus on delivering value to customers.
Salesforce Rollouts
We transform companies by implementing, enhancing and integrating the Salesforce ecosystem: Salesforce CRM and CPQ to consolidate your customer data, gain insights and sell smarter; Service Cloud to retain your customers and enhance their experience; and Marketing Cloud and Pardot to ensure your long-term success with marketing automation.
Salesforce Apps
Get even more out of Salesforce with pre-built solutions. With our partners Rights2 Consultants, we developed and launched RightsZone – the next generation rights system with elegant and intuitive workflow tools facilitating the whole lifecycle of rights licensing, helping you manage deals swiftly and efficiently, and facilitating smarter working to grow your revenue.
