About us
Our products are
focused on one objective: our clients’ attainment of
their goals via effective strategizing, planning,
visualizing, tracking, and sharing of their dynamic
campaigns. The modeling approach is unique when
compared with tabular, database-oriented, report and
charting systems. Classic as they are, these systems
do not provide “space” for thinking out loud
that is vital to any dynamic campaign’s success.
GATE
is a methodology for strategizing, planning,
tracking and controlling the activities necessary to
achieve goals in dynamic campaigns. The matching
configurable software product is built to address
several dynamic industries and is delivered as a
combination of platform and discipline-specific
applications, such as
GATEtoSALES
and
GATEtoMarketing.
