Why Better Communications Are Vital to Your Organization

Every organization is trying to find an edge. Clear, effective, relevant communications could be yours. Instead of concentrating only on glossy above-the-line ads and brochures, imagine if you could have targeted, timely communications going out to customers and employees throughout their journey with you. Imagine if every campaign was supported by a full range of communications in every channel, from print to SMS to the Web.

Communications are becoming even more critical to business success - and more complex at the same time. So we designed Thunderhead NOW to effortlessly meet all these modern challenges. Here’s how:

• Digital channels are coming into their own: finally, we’re seeing the more flexible, highly personalized customer communications that we were promised — so organizations need to be able to provide them reliably and efficiently.

  Thunderhead’s XML solution means you can use any channel you like to get your message across, including SMS, email, or website.

• As the marketplace fills up, organizations need to differentiate themselves more, for example by exploiting one-to-one marketing.

  Thunderhead puts your marketing professionals back in control of your messages, helping them to create accurately targeted, relevant campaigns with the minimum of hassle.

• Organizations increasingly need to be agile with the way they communicate. Rather than relying on traditional large communications systems, they now need to cope with one-off, ad-hoc or event-driven communications, for example after a call center inquiry.

  Thunderhead’s Correspond NOW was uniquely designed to cope with one-off communications, meaning it’s easy to create, audit, change, produce and track single communications.

• As regulations change, organizations need to be able to adapt communications quickly and keep them compliant.

  It’s easy to amend regulatory content and then lock it, preventing accidental or unauthorized changes from creeping in.

• For organizations that are expanding, multiple sites can result in an explosion of inconsistencies. To cope, they need to be able to exchange information in a way that’s highly automated, manageable and, most importantly, reliable.

  From single communications to millions of documents, Thunderhead NOW can cope with the size of your organizations and grow with it as it expands. And with all your content in one place, it’s easier to re-use content and remove inconsistencies.

• In the face of competition, organizations are searching for better ways to develop longer-lasting relationships with their customers - retention is now as much of a priority as acquisition.

  Communications created using Thunderhead NOW give you better brand consistency, more impact, clearer presentation and better targeting. They are also delivered using your customers' preferred channels - helping you to improve customer service and retian customers.

• And of course, as ever, organizations need to streamline their business processes and trim waste to remain competitive.

  Thunderhead NOW means it takes less time and resources—for IT and for other business users—to get each communication out and working for you. And as it works alongside your existing systems, up-front costs are manageable too.
