A Customer Calls It as He Sees It

An email from one of our customers this morning reminded me that sometimes it’s best to just get out of the way and let them do the talking. Following is unedited text from John Weatherby, Director of Product Line Management, at LAB-AIDS (and an umpire in his spare time), on why he recommends Tizra to his colleagues...

Reliability of TIZRA – we have experienced very little downtime during the course of our relationship and that is critical, especially to teachers that rely on access during class time
Cross platform Capabilities – This is key in my mind as the diversity of the products teachers and students are using to access TIZRA is an issue. To develop something in-house that would work across all platforms would be fairly complicated
Technical Support – You guys have done a great job supporting us and troubleshooting problems when they come up. This is something most publishers worry about: will someone be there to help through the process
Cost – The financial investment to develop a multi-platform product would be huge at this point, then you still have to worry about whether it will work
Competition – We did our due diligence and could not identify another company that was doing the kinds of things TIZRA is doing. Couple that with the very positive feedback I received when I solicited feedback from your customers and in many ways it becomes a no-brainer.

Thanks, John! You can't buy better marketing than that.

AppGap: Tizra more than just a "great tool for content sellers"

Bill Ives has been writing about knowledge management since the days when for most people that meant color coding your files, so we were really pleased when he agreed to evaluate Tizra Publisher in The AppGap , a blog on the future of work. We were even more pleased when he said "I see this service as a great tool for content sellers." But we thought his keenest insight was into applications beyond traditional publishing... [Tizra Publisher] can also be a useful content distribution system for enterprises that need to manage the presentation of their information. This will be especially useful for verticals with a lot of internal content such as legal firms, pharma, and other research oriented enterprises. Ives saw Tizra's combination of easy and yet precisely controlled content distribution as key for these users, and others needing to share marketing and technical information. Read the full review .
