6D TECHNOLOGIES : PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS
“ Whenever you approach a new area of the business , you have to look at your strengths and your weaknesses . When you ' re in a situation where the dominant player has deep pockets , and you ' re maybe not able to compete in certain areas , that ' s where your partners can step in to strengthen your capabilities . That ' s where you need to form strategic alliances that allow you to leverage new technologies and integrations .
For us , we want a partner that is nimble , agile , and able to help us go to market quickly .
We wanted our platform to be futureproof and capable of supporting further integrations in the future , so we started looking for a partner that would help us do that .
That ' s when we found 6D Technologies .
Our relationship with 6D Technologies was a gamble that paid off in a big way . In this industry , it ' s your value-added services that make or break you as a company , so you need a partner that understands that .
6D Technologies provided us with a Unified VAS platform - from development through to operation - that allows us to pay for a unified license . That means that we don ' t have to separately purchase license for different VAS service but have the flexibility to transfer licenses from one service to another when the need arise , enabling us to offer affordable value added services to our customers .”
