Orchid Sales Tip

A Case Study can make us both look good

Our Case Studies don’t just show off Orchid's products – they can also promote the ingenuity of our business partners.

Have you delighted one of your clients by using Orchid modules to solve a tricky problem? If so, contact us and tell us you have a potential Case Study.




If we agree, we'll work with you to polish and publish it, and will be sure to include a plug for your business.



 
 


Collaboration is King

 

Holding on tightly to information and distributing it on a strict 'need to know' basis might have been in vogue once, but these days it's more likely to be associated with destructive silos and self-serving fiefdoms. 

Progressive organisations now know that while knowledge is power, collaboration is king when it comes to increasing productivity.

Effective collaboration improves efficiencies, empowers employees, and promotes job satisfaction, leading to happier customers and healthier bottom lines. 
Read this month's featured article about the dark ages when "There Was NO Collaboration!", and how Orchid products can help contribute to a new age of enlightenment.

Our "Collaboration in Action" Webinar on 25-July will demonstrate some novel collaborations using Orchid products. Register now to put it into your diary.
 

Orchid Case Study


It's not just high tech startups who are embracing new ways of collaborating. A family run potato farming operation is about as old school as you can imagine.

With the help of their partner, DataQuest, and Orchid's Document Management Link, Walther Farms are able to keep their remote workforce in the loop. Read their story here.
