Standing Strong through the Challenges- 

At the start, capital and brand building was a major challenge. While the solutions and services were mission critical, large enterprises always preferred to engage with big brands. To overcome this and win the trust of customers the company partnered with multi-billion dollar system integrators. They helped them penetrate global markets and deepen their understanding of the domains.

Another major challenge was that their solutions and services had long sales cycles. Because of the B2B nature of the business and the domain of their offerings being critical to business operations the company had long sales cycles. To overcome this they expanded their scope to many verticals and launched SAAS models of their offerings.

“A great team, persistence, and consistent innovation helped us sail through our challenging times.”

Customer centricity was a critical factor responsible for the growth of the company. Satisfied customers, continuous investment in technology and consulting services for customer centricity led to the growth of the company. They realized that their Customer Communications Management solution had gained traction in the market and started evolving other solutions and services that helped automate journeys of customer experience lifecycle.  The company quickly expanded their portfolio of products and services to include business critical aspects such as customer on-boarding, B2B customer experience, centralized engagement hub and financial reconciliation.

“Today, with our platform we help ease the Digital Transformation journey of enterprises with enhanced CX being a significant result of the transformation.”
