Orchid Sales Tip

Our new "cheat sheet" brochure helps start a conversation
Which Orchid Products are for you?
Are you familiar enough with all of Orchid's products to feel confident talking to your customers about them? If not, you won't be alone, but it may well mean you are missing out on sales opportunities.

We've developed a new brochure called "Which Orchid products are for you?" to make it easier than ever to start a conversation with your customers. For each or our products we offer three questions, designed to quickly identify those that may be worth a closer look. 

Read our news article for more, or just download the brochure, which you can also find in the Resources area of our site, under Marketing Material.
 

Featured Products Notes and DML
Collaborative working environments start with a willingness to share ideas and information, but to succeed they also need processes and tools that enable us to create, locate, update and share information in ways that are simple and intuitive.

This is where Orchid’s Notes and Documentation Management Link (DML) products come in. To find our more, read our blog article on how Orchid Notes & DML support Collaboration, and watch our short new Product Overview videos below.

Read our Case Study to find out how, with the support of DataQuest, Orchid DML provided the missing link in their digitization strategy.
