Transcendit have been awarded CodeTwo Partner of the Year, for the second year in a row. We had a chat with Transcendit Director Dave Scott to talk about CodeTwo and what it can do for businesses.
What is CodeTwo?
'CodeTwo is the software we both use and resell to customers for email signatures,' says Dave. 'An email signature is the banner that comes at the end of your email. It usually has the sender's name and title, as well as additional information; at Transcendit, our email signature also includes our address, the services that we offer, and our accreditations. It is one of the first things that anyone sees to form a perception of the business so it needs to be effective.'
'CodeTwo allows us to create professional email signatures, which can be controlled and updated centrally. This means that it doesn't require you to set up every individual device or application; which is incredibly time consuming and difficult, particularly when you want every single email signature to look the same. CodeTwo takes away all of this stress and allows businesses to have a professional, polished looking email signature that is consistent across every account and device.' Transcendit looks after it, and businesses can forget about it.'
'Another great feature of CodeTwo is that it allows businesses to add timed communications on their emails. So if your business is having a specific sale, or you want something to be added to your email signature temporarily for marketing purposes, we can set a start time and end time for that addition.'
Why your business needs an email signature
'When you're setting up a business, there are a lot of upfront costs,' says Dave. 'Sometimes businesses can look at features like email signatures and think that all it is doing is telling the recipient the name and title of the sender, and it isn't worth the expense. But email signatures do a lot more than that and require more management than people presume.'
Dave says that having an email signature is important for organisations, 'CodeTwo is one of those pieces of software that we'd describe as essential. When you have a consistent email signature across all of your accounts, it's reassuring for customers and clients because they know that they're emailing someone who is part of the business, and they know exactly which role that person is in. It communicates professionalism to your clients.'
'Staff don't even see the email signature when they send their email,' adds Dave. 'They don't need to do anything on their side ; CodeTwo handles all of it which is incredibly convenient for businesses. It really is effortless.'
But what about the cost? 'One of the great things about CodeTwo is that it is really reasonably priced; it's just £1.75 per user with a 10 user minimum, so as little as £17.50 per month,' says Dave. 'Many of the organisations we work with are small businesses, and the price means that it is accessible for SMEs. To have your email signatures centralised, not needing to worry about the device that you're on, or the person that's sending the email - there's a lot that the software does that more than justifies the cost.'
Why go with CodeTwo?
'There's a few different email signature services that are available for businesses, but we prefer Code Two,' says Dave. 'We actually partnered with them after seeing one of their email signatures that another business was using; we started using them ourselves, and then started offering it to customers.'
'We always try to use the software we offer to customers so we can ensure that the products we're recommending meet the high standards our clients deserve. We prefer CodeTwo because they do everything you need from an email signature system, they do it well and cruicially, they're great people to work with!'
When awarding Transcendit Partner of the Year, CodeTwo stated, 'This is your second Partner Award – thank you for your partnership with us, we really appreciate it, and we’re happy to work with such professional partners.'
Dave and the team were incredibly pleased to be awarded Partner of the Year for a second time. 'As an organisation, we don't offer services to clients that won't work for them, or software that they don't need - we find solutions that work for businesses. This award is particularly important to us because it is a testament to how invaluable CodeTwo has been to the businesses we support.'
