Electronic Communications Expertise
Connaught FactsLine

Overview
Connaught FactsLine Limited (www.connaught.co.uk) is a well-established, London based company that focuses specifically on providing electronic communication solutions that meet its customers' business critical data handling, information delivery and usage feedback needs. These can either be provided as a cost-effective managed service, or integrated into in-house processes, using Connaught's secure, flexible, high capacity systems.

Expertise
Connaught offers particular expertise in the publishing and financial sectors and is able to handle both unstructured publisher information and highly structured financial transactional information with equal speed and facility. Ongoing work for publishing customers includes the creation and distribution of daily news bulletins and alerts, newsletters and the delivery of market information to subscribers or other users worldwide in the print, CD, email, fax or web format of their choice.

Whilst Connaught is happy to manage bulk electronic marketing campaigns, its distinctive areas of expertise are in the management and delivery of high value and transactional messaging and the co-ordination of ongoing communication of 'must-have' or 'paid for' information to its customers' own subscribers, members or communities of users.

Why outsource to Connaught?
Typically, Connaught's customers outsource the management of their data and elements of
their external communication processes because:

  • They either regard such activities as being outside their areas of core competence or too specialised and business critical for internal staff to manage on an ongoing basis;
  • They prefer trusting an expert managed service with built in guarantees, rather than try and meet their needs by implementing limited capability, general purpose software in-house, with all the risks this involves.

Trust
Factors that influence customers in their decisions to outsource their requirements to
Connaught include:

  • The challenge of managing disparately sourced data efficiently;
  • Their need to offer users a choice of information formats;
  • The limitations of their own production facilities;
  • Connaught’s ability to provide services 24/7;
  • Connaught’s understanding of the application of efficient multi-channel information delivery;
  • Connaught’s ability to respond to specific customer needs cost-effectively and its sophisticated technical capabilities.

Capabilities
Connaught’s capabilities include intelligent, customised reporting and advanced state-of-the-art features such as persistent electronic data/document access control and copyright protection. This outbound expertise is complemented by Connaught's ability to offer automated, on demand email services and 'never busy' fax back to support large outbound email and fax campaigns.

Business benefits
Connaught provides significant value and business benefit for its customers by removing all the pain associated with the whole business communications process including:

  • Transforming basic data, (including storing, (re)formatting, merging, archiving and re-purposing);
  • The customised communication of the resulting information on both a subscription and pay-per-view basis, and the delivery and interpretation of meaningful usage statistics.

All through a fast, responsive and reliable managed service that is very easy for customers to interface with.

Pricing
As a tightly focused business with manageable overheads and a realistic day rate Connaught offers sophisticated, cost saving and revenue generating communication solutions at very competitive charges.
