Client Case Studies

  • Arnaud Blandin helped position the company for success in the EU market and align its offerings with key telecom industry needs. His strategic insights enabled Rapid to build credibility with major accounts, strengthening its value proposition ahead of Nokia’s acquisition. By driving engagement with enterprise clients and reinforcing Rapid’s API leadership, Arnaud helped lay the foundation for this milestone deal, demonstrating the power of technology in fostering innovation, impact, and sustainable business growth.

  • Liferay, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise open-source portal and collaboration software, faced challenges in ASEAN despite strong product recognition. Its partner ecosystem was limited, hindering regional penetration. Liferay sought evidence to build a business case for direct presence and needed support to jump-start operations in the region. Arnaud was contracted to drive awareness and build a foundation for growth. An awareness campaign in Singapore positioned Liferay’s value proposition, gathering insights from over 50 key stakeholders. Growth pockets were identified, and new value-added resellers were onboarded and trained. Within nine months, Arnaud helped establish a solid sales pipeline, onboard three resellers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and facilitated strategic discussions with Tier-1 system integrators. This laid the groundwork for Liferay Singapore's successful regional operations.

The collaboration underscored the power of dynamic data presentation, reinforcing Condeco’s position as a leader in workplace management solutions.

  • Atlantis Computing, a leader in software-defined storage, offers Atlantis USX, a high-performance, cost-effective solution for virtualized workloads.
