Educating  Consulting Transforming

Vendors

Vendors are those companies that provide the hardware and software to enable documents and other personalised customer communications to be created, produced, manipulated, transformed, and delivered.

It is the vendors who are often looked at by their Document Owner and Document Producer customers for advice and direction. These are natural queries as it is the vendors that see the many different environments in which their solution has been implemented.

Typically their knowledge and experience is unmatched with their own technology, however they often don't have the time, resource, or opportunity to ensure that their experience and knowledge is kept broad across the industry.  This leads to individuals being siloed, often reacting only to their customers and prospects needs and desires, rather than being able to always grasp the full impact of the industry at large.

Over decades in the industry, we have worked with many individual Vendors, multi-vendor Document Producer and Document Owner environments, and across many countries.
