Atlanta, June 8, 2012: Atlanta-based OMI – a managed communication service provider that assists organizations in moving printed communications to the paperless world – announced today a strategic partnership with The Glassbox, an intelligent information management and workspace company that provides a range of services to global advertisers, agencies, and global corporations. OMI has co-developed a groundbreaking information management platform for The Glassbox that gets smarter and more efficient the more you use it. OMI will also be responsible for managing the ongoing SaaS delivery of the technology as a strategic managed service partner.
In today’s global market place, marketers and agencies struggle to manage the volume of digital and paper-based data used across many organizations and individuals. The intelligent answer platform developed by OMI and The Glassbox will simplify process, enhance collaboration, and provide key performance metrics. Based on its industry and operational expertise, The Glassbox has defined the platform requirements to meet the needs of their clients. OMIwill leverage their success creating and managing Cloud-based automation platforms for the financial and business sectors.
“The partnership with The Glassbox is a natural fit for OMI,” says Paul Sciandra, Chief Operations Officer. “We have a history over the past 11 years of delivering managed communication services in various capacities. We’re excited to bring that success and technology to a whole other level and industry vertical.”
The aim is to bring order to what is traditionally a disconnected workflow within agencies and marketing organizations, according to Sciandra. “Agencies have tried to deliver some of the necessary capabilities using bits and pieces or with individual generic applications and disconnected workflows, but for the most part that just hasn’t been successful. This partnership is all about creating a tailored platform with a unique technological approach and a pointed perspective regarding the collaboration needs of the people and processes involved. “
Dorothy Young, The Glassbox CEO and Founder, agrees. “In today's economy, companies need to win new business and retain key accounts. Companies will use The Glassbox to make them smarter and more efficient: To coordinate their disjointed global resources. To deliver quality presentations. To win more business more often. Business needs to find a better way to manage the volumes of data.” According to Young, “We saw a clear opportunity to simplify the complexity and optimize business results with a customized application that fits the agency/marketer culture. Working with OMI will provide exactly the right technology platform and delivery model.”
What makes Glassbox unique, states Young, is the way the platform works, “With an easy to use questionnaire based interface, The Intelligent War Room delivers work that represents the effortless collaboration of people throughout a company—providing the executive with the power to see as never before.”
