Digital Transformation
The moment of truth is one swipe away from billions of connected smartphones and devices globally. This new digital reality has changed how we connect with our customers, and changed the way they interact with our brands. The always "on" culture places an emphasis on developing the must have tools and platforms that serve your customer; engages them how they want, and creates a 1-to-1 dialogue along their journey from awareness to post purchase. This transformation enhances social sharing of your value proposition and solutions.

What started back in the mid-90's as a Business School project and Director role inside its consulting arm (then called the Business Diagnostic Center or BDC), Skyblue has evolved it's consulting work to cover many of the key technology trends impacting sales and marketing business operations today.
The hands on approach with new technologies like P2P, Secure File Sharing, and Instant Messaging some 15-years ago, allows us to take a look at the mission-critical business systems and see where new technology can enhance your business for long-term sustainable growth. We are very comfortable evaluating most flavors of technology, having created new enterprise software solutions and products since 2000, and various manufactured goods, as well.
Today, the advent of the "always on" smart phone has tipped the scale in the consumers favor, and pushed even B2B focused firms to reset their expectations and create "pull" vs "push" marketing and sales platforms and tactics. We can help companies with these key initiatives.
Skyblue can offer a fresh perspective to upper management and forward thinking startups, by crafting a detailed project scope with flexibility in mind. We have:
- Startup experience
- Spin-out experience from a larger company
- International launch of new brands
- Robust financial and quantitative modeling skills
- And, a love for stellar solutions like Salesforce! And, other cloud solutions from Google (We built our other firm on the Google Apps platform, for instance)
Check out some of what we offer below.
