Our team:
your future success
EXPERT CONSULTANTS IN CRM AND SALESFORCE
Our London and New Delhi teams share outstanding technical skills, a long held passion for the publishing and media industries, and a desire to provide phenomenal customer service. This means we can deliver unbeatable results – whether providing consultancy services to facilitate solutions to complex CRM problems or delivering Salesforce applications that transform your business.
We have decades of publishing experience, having managed and delivered global business applications for world-leading publishers, and we employ the brightest apprentices and graduates to help us stay ahead of the curve with modern-day alternatives to legacy solutions.
What we do
We work with publishers to streamline workflow and transform business processes. Once a functionality gap or a workflow inefficiency has been identified, we leverage Salesforce as a low code platform to develop customer specific solutions, with modules like Publicity or Advertising, which can then be adapted by our other customers. In addition, we also work to implement standard Salesforce CRM, Case Management, Marketing Cloud modules and integrate them with the existing technology architecture.
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.
Consultancy
We provide strategy and consulting to help you transform your company – whether that’s to drive growth, secure efficiencies or diversify your business. We can 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.
OUR MISSION
We aim to empower publishers through innovative technological solutions to achieve success through seamless workflows and enhanced business processes whilst putting our customers and users at the heart of the solution. Our tailored approaches not only address unique challenges but foster a community of shared progress, where solutions evolve collectively benefiting all stakeholders.
