Tikit announces expansion of marketing and business development offering with integration of Introhive with Tikit Connect
Tikit has announced the integration of Introhive and its Cloud-based Tikit Connect CRM system.This creates a comprehensive, connected environment to facilitate contact management, communications and relationship nurturing – at a price point that is attractive to both mid-market legal and professional services firms.“In an increasingly competitive business environment, and with the commodification of legal services, the firms that succeed will be those who have processes in place to ensure the strongest possible connection to their clients and prospective clients. This is as much a challenge for mid-sized law firms as it is for large firms, but traditionally it has been difficult to justify the investment required,” states Doug Hargrove, Managing Director – Legal – Advanced.He added: “Our aim with Tikit’s marketing and business development ecosystem is to bring together a suite of products that are each beneficial on their own but, when integrated, deliver a solution to marketing teams that helps them to manage their contacts easily. It also continuously keeps that contact data current and uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make clear the web of relationships and indicate important trends in the firm’s overall relationship with target organisations.”
