Since the company’s formation in 1998, Encode has been totally committed to
developing technology that empowers advertising and marketing operations to work
smarter, faster, and more efficiently to deliver a significant and measurable business
advantage, hence our motto ’Time to Market’. We are experts in the development and
deployment of flexible marketing tools and solutions to organizations who want to
enhance workflow efficiency and knowledge sharing between internal departments
and external agencies to create dynamic communications.
The core philosophy underpinning development of the Encode MRM solution is
our belief that organisations need to respond quickly to changes in the business
environment if they are to grow and prosper. It makes sense therefore not to be
limited by fixed structures within the business process, which could prove costly and
time consuming when changes are required. With this in mind, we have built Encode
to be completely flexible and with unlimited scalability. This very principle has seen
Encode evolve into providers of ’next generation software’ and rapidly become one of
the worlds leading and most advanced MRM solutions on the market today.
Having consolidated our early success in Denmark, Encode ASP have broadened our
sphere of influence to gain a market presence in the UK, USA, Ukraine, Germany and
the Netherlands and establish an enviable client base that represents some of the
worlds biggest and most recognizable companies and brands. Quite simply, our vision
is to provide the best and most versatile MRM suite on the market.
Encode ApS is an advanced provider of Marketing Resource Management (MRM)-Systems to some of the largest global advertising agencies, manufacturers and retail chains within the international business community.
Who are WE?
Our solutions use a service-orientated architecture (SOA) platform to connect and
integrate systems around your current business processes. Any type of system, as
simple or as comprehensive as you wish it to be, can be built by linking an unlimited
number of modules together. For example, you might wish to include in your system
a module for campaign development and planning, asset management, AdBuilder, an
extranet module for servicing dealers and subsidiaries, CRM and PR modules to name
a few. The possibilities are endless.
The truly remarkable feature of Encode however, setting it apart from any other MRM
solution on the market today, is that it is 100% configurable by non IT experts. With
this kind of versatility an online collaborative system to exact individual requirements
can be built and deployed in less than 2 weeks, leaving you to adapt and expand
modules, functions and subsystems in-house with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Employees, customers, dealers, subsidiaries, suppliers, brands, materials, images,
videos, etc. can all connect to become part of a system that supports precisely your
way of working.
We know it sounds incredible, but this is possible because no costly and time
consuming programming is required, only configuration. Encode supports all sizes of
business and evolves with your organisation, so you are not tied down to a system
that would become obsolete as operational procedures and processes change.
Encode MRM is a flexible solution to the challenges of running a modern advertising agency or marketing department. You might ask: “Is it a brand management system?” ”A job bag or project management?” The answer is, Encode can be configured to be exactly what you want it to be.
