“We looked
at a range of solutions in the marketplace, finding
the right partner who could demonstrate a clear
understanding of what we were trying to achieve,
was always going to be a difficult hurdle. TECH4T
proved to be a capable and responsive team who worked
with us to develop the right solution to launch
our network successfully…”

Data
Cleansing, Enhancement, De-duplication & Professionalism
of Service

"In our
line of industry, we firmly believe that data is
paramount to how we understand, target and conduct
our daily business operations. Without good data,
it is impossible to grow/visualise opportunities,
or have a clear understanding on how we are actually
accomplishing business to date. We saw a need to
cleanse and enhance our UK DB and looked towards
Tech4T to provide this service. It was obvious to
us, from very early on, that Tech4T were extremely
proficient, professional and excellent in communicating
throughout the entire project. On return of our
UK DB, we were very impressed with the cleansed
data, enhancement and brilliantly put together work
by all the Tech4T team.
From Tech4T’s
great work, we have managed to trim our UK prospect
DB by nearly 20%, which in a global data sense to
Infor is excellent. We now also have a completely
re-worked address format, enhancement and refinement
for our data – which is of a great assistance to
our UK teams. We can positively state that we are
continuing to work with Tech4T for our data needs
moving forward, the quality and flexibility of services
provided is invaluable. We are very pleased to recommend
Tech4T to anyone looking to improve data and find
collaborative workable data solution."

Targeting Insight
"Tech4T
have worked with us carrying out specialised targeting
analysis on behalf of our multi-national customers.
We have always found that they have provided strong
and, importantly, actionable insights into the data
and then given us an efficient ongoing service for
our customers’ marketing campaigns. We are
very pleased to continue to work with Tech4T."
Tom Richardson, Managing Director,
Celsius International
European
Database Development
"We identified
a need to unify records from 13 countries, establishing
a common format at the same time. We needed a data
partner capable of working across Europe to undertake
this complex project. During evaluation the Tech4T
team demonstrated a real concern for quality and
a keen eye for detail, and was subsequently appointed.

The project ran
smoothly and to schedule. Tech4T's dedication
and concern for detail were highly professional
and everyone involved in the project at EMC felt
complete confidence. The database is now operational,
on time and on budget, and Tech4T played a large
part in its success, with concise reports, good
quality work and good presentation throughout."

“Tech4T did more
than just quote for our business in Australia. They
offered not only the best price but a number of
value added functions that enabled us to close three
franchisee deals in Adelaide alone. I would have
no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking
for a professional service at an excellent price.“

“Tech4T offer no-nonsense
solutions to mapping challenges. Our franchise owners
now make informed decisions on which magazines to
advertise in, where to site showrooms and where
to target DM for best results. The team at Tech4T
have been extremely helpful and professional throughout
and I would gladly recommend them to anyone seeking
a coherent mapping solution.”

Worldwide Data Improvement
Extec
have around 130,000 multi-country business to business
records held in ACT databases which were in need
of improvement. As we didn't have the resources
to maintain this data to the levels required, we
needed to find a company with the necessary skills
and software to enhance, deduplicate and verify
the data accuracy two to four times per year.
Crucially, we needed to ensure the company we chose
would take the care to get the data quality correct
- unlike our previous supplier.
After
considerable research we came across Tech4T and
it quickly became apparent that their approach was
exactly what we required - rather different to a
conventional bureau. Tech4T focused on quality,
helping us to reduce costs and increase the effectiveness
of our campaigns. They applied a mix of
caution
and commonsense, and where they felt results were
ambiguous, often kept to the original information
rather than risk us losing a potential customer.
The results were better than we could have hoped
for - demonstrated by a substantial reduction in
mailing returns and increased enquiries.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tech4T
to any company who wanted to get more sales from
their data.

Marketing Manager,

New Franchise Business
“We
have total praise for the professionalism, yet friendliness
by the mapping team at the Tech4T Company. A brand
new franchise company called Weight Loss Detox had
been launched and it was crucial that we had confidence
in a business that could match our high standards,
as we needed a map of the UK to be divided into
1500 territories. This was done accurately and speedily
with constant communication between us all.
We have no hesitation in totally recommending this
company to any individual or company”.

Data
Migration
We
faced the challenge of how best to migrate customer
data from our existing operational system and several
supporting databases into a new CRM system. We knew
that the data was in a poor way with undisciplined
data entry over a number of years and inconsistent
use of address fields.
One of the biggest problems was how to consolidate
multiple line addresses into a reduced number of
fields – made more complex by the fact that we have
worldwide addresses and duplication within and across
all datasets.
We also had time constraints as the work had to
be completed over a weekend and we could not afford
to have our system offline for more than 2/3 days
Whilst searching for a suitable company to undertake
this project we discovered Tech4T. Having discussed
the project with their data technicians, we felt
confident that all necessary work could be undertaken
within our budget and timescale. We provided them
with a test dataset to assess the work involved
and then agreed a detailed work plan and schedule.
Tech4T were very proactive in the way they worked,
keeping us informed at all stages and highlighting
areas of concern which came to light as the job
progressed. In this way, small problems were resolved
before they became a major issue further down the
line.
The output not only met but exceeded our expectations
and enabled us to move to our new system without
issue.
I would not hesitate in recommending Tech4T for
any address cleansing, de-duplication and data merge
work – however complex – and we will definitely
be using their services in the future.
