PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - October 04, 2016) - ZINFI Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Unified Channel Management (UCM) solutions, today announced its state-of-the-art partner portal was the core technology behind a recent successful collaboration between communications technology provider NEC and its channel partner Global 4 Communications, a UK reseller of telecommunications solutions. Working closely with NEC, Global 4 used the ZINFI partner portal for the first time to automate a series of email campaigns targeting the education sector to enhance brand awareness and generate leads -- ultimately resulting in the sale of 70 units of NEC's SV9100 communication system.
This was Global 4's introduction to the NEC partner portal -- a key component of ZINFI's partner relationship management platform -- which provided the company with access to turnkey email campaigns with NEC-provided content, automated campaign management and real-time tracking capabilities. Three emails were sent over the course of a month to a selected list of Global 4 leads. Using the partner portal, Global 4 distributed the emails among 11 data segments in the education sector -- generating a total of approximately 2,500 emails. Recipients who clicked on a call to action were taken to a co-branded website where they could request more information.
The Global 4 employee who managed the campaigns had anticipated a "horribly steep learning curve" when first using the partner portal, but before the campaign got underway ZINFI conducted a training session via WebEx with the employee, who found the session "very helpful"; Global 4 also made effective use of some ZINFI-provided training videos.
"At first the partner portal seemed like an opportunity to just send these co-branded emails, but now I see it's got a lot more potential" said the Global 4 representative. "It's key in branching out to various vertical markets. We were able to expand our business to the education market successfully and bring out some brand awareness. I think we're just scratching the surface. We've got a way to go" to utilize the partner portal to its full potential, he noted.
