Arturian Extends its Network With an Inside the Tent User Group Portal

Arturian, providers of process optimisation services to IT departments, has selected Inside the Tent to build its on-line user group portal.

Hampshire, United Kingdom (PRWEB) May 27, 2007 -- Arturian, providers of process optimisation services to IT departments, has selected Inside the Tent to build its on-line user group portal.

The software sector is a key customer segment for Inside the Tent, specialists in helping businesses increase sales through their networks. The sector is increasingly seeking a convenient, secure and cost-effective channel through which it can work more closely with its customers to increase revenues, develop products and improve competitiveness.

Arturian needed to find a way to create an open forum that would facilitate dynamic communication between its customers, partners and users. Working with Inside the Tent, the company saw an opportunity to gain invaluable market intelligence as well as build a growing marketplace of new business opportunities - for both Arturian and its members.

Neil Whittington, Managing Director, Arturian comments ""Inside the Tent takes on-line user group portals to a whole new level, well beyond anything else on the market and certainly at a price that worked with our budget, leaving us with funds to promote the portal and make it a success."

Based on Inside the Tent's proprietary software solution, Arturian now provides its contact base with a feature-rich user group portal, which was configured to meet its specific functionality and branding requirements.

"We were impressed by the common sense approach taken by the team and the level of functionality offered by the product. The community has grown at a pace way above our expectations and we are already starting to see benefits borne from stronger customer loyalty, as well as being able to more clearly align product development with customer usability needs," concludes Neil.

Inside the Tent was established in 2006 when it launched a customisable on-line portal solution which enables firms to considerably extend its network-reach beyond its current sales capability through an internet based business network. The portal software has been developed by Inside the Tent and provides a completely secure and fully customisable member networking forum, priced to meet the needs of firms with modest sales and marketing budgets.

Inside the Tent has over 20 customers, several of which are currently using the solution to profit from their business networks.
