Digital Channel, Unify–s market-leading channel marketing program, is built on TIE Kinetix–s Demand Generation Solution and has played an integral role in brand and message management throughout the partner channel since 2001.
In 2011, Siemens Enterprise Communications made the strategic decision to embark on a global rebrand to Unify and was faced not only with the challenge of updating company collateral, but also with seamlessly disseminating updated messaging across the Digital Channel partner community, which extends to 80 countries and 14 languages.
On October 15th, 2013, Unify launched its new brand, and with the help of TIE Kinetix–s powerful demand generation and sales conversion solutions, all the new branded content, campaigns and sales tools were instantaneously made available to Unify–s global partner community, with zero downtime or disruption to its partners– channel marketing and sales activities. TIE Kinetix helped the Unify partners to continue business as usual, without risking costly interruptions or having to dedicate manpower to update their systems.
“Undertaking a rebrand is a resource-intensive task that can impact business efficiency across a global partner network,” said Robin Pilcher, Head of Global Channel Marketing at Unify. “As a channel centric business, our key focus is on doing everything we can to make our partners successful. The TIE Kinetix solution enabled us to instantly update all the Unify content on our partners– web sites, as well as provide them with all the new campaign materials and messaging at the very moment the brand was announced, which ensured they could continue driving demand generation and sales revenue opportunities with no distraction.”
“Maintaining brand accuracy and integrity across the partner channel is critical for global companies like Unify, who operate across numerous countries and business environments and depend on the channel as a key sales avenue,” said Jan Sundelin, CEO of TIE Kinetix. “TIE Kinetix is committed to ensuring that our clients– marketing messages are always accurately disseminated throughout the channel, instantly and accurately, to effectively drive demand generation.
