A new advisory board enforces Visiolink’s customer focus. By adding different media industry perspectives, VCAB (Visiolink Customer Advisory Board) assists in plotting a course for our products and services.
For more than a decade, Visiolink has been at the forefront of digital publishing, experiencing a growth of 40-60% in pages read each year. Success doesn’t come easy though. And to avoid stagnation, or taking wrong turns in an increasingly crowded industry, the timing is right for increased collaboration with some of our long term customers and business partners.
VCAB is an opportunity to investigate the importance of digital services and proactively adjust to a steady changing market of media consumers.
CEO Jens Funder Berg praises VCAP as a huge step from one-to-one dialogues with every single customer. Visiolink is heading for at deep and long-term involvement with customers, targeting and grouping their needs and demands in order to make them able to understand and serve their customers, the readers.
The last two years Visiolink has experienced a more and more aligned demand. The different geographic markets are getting similar, the availability of knowledge and news is not bound to a certain country. The internet is spreading the news; the readers are mobile. Therefore, the needs of the readers are similar, whether you are in Norway, Denmark, Germany or any other European country.
“Setting such a competent advisory board is guaranteeing our customers a dynamic and upgradeable product and enabling us to ensure that our roadmaps are representative, communicating the needs and demands of the readers,” explains
Nicolas L. Fromm, chairman of VCAB adds: “Never before have ePapers had so many readers. For Visiolink the purpose of creating the Visiolink Customer Advisory Board is to help the media companies understand, serve and engage their customers, the readers, through data, analyses, availability and a core of reliable digital publishing products.”
