Deliver Differentiated Experiences to your Customers with EnterWorks

“The Right Content. Enabled” 

One of the defining characteristics of the modern world is that consumers are constantly surrounded by advertising and content continues to be the driving force of the internet, amplifying brands and marketing their products and services. More often than not, traditional forms of advertising like print, broadcast, direct mail and telephone marketing interrupt people to the extent that they can become an annoyance. However, content marketing can change this annoyance into appreciation. Firms like EnterWorks can transform the world of content marketing with brand new technologies and services that can add to customer satisfaction. 

Transforming content marketing and product lifecycle management with B2B2C

Founded in 1996, EnterWorks is a market leader in master data solutions for acquiring, managing and transforming a company’s product information into persuasive and personalized content for marketing, sales, digital commerce, product lifecycle management (PLM), and new market opportunities.

Today, EnterWorks Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) platform provides a single view of content that’s essential for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers or dealers to collaborate and master their data and create differentiated commerce experiences across channels. Yet, a look back reveals a surprisingly cool history. We’re talking James Bond cool, with its origin in classified services to military and government intelligence agencies.

EnterWorks launched two decades ago as a Virtual Data Base platform – known as “Pangaea” from the idea of a singular supercontinent – and applied as a mass storage repository for physical and digital intelligence assets and information from a variety of national level command, control, communications and intelligence sources. Demand for the company’s platform accelerated after 9/11 with the need for secure and consistent global intelligence. 

EnterWorks’ Technology is Recognized for Innovation

Such orchestration of federated content sources under a single view through an intuitive web interface was breakthrough for robust e-business portals and reporting. The Smithsonian recognized EnterWorks technology with an award as a case study in its Innovation Collection. The platform processing speed and scalability to address mass data stores arose from a Virtual Data Base model technology that enables secure, unified and role-based views of heterogeneous information. The Master Data Management and portal technologies that served the intelligence community was extended into industrial and consumer industries to serve complex, global and regional companies of all sizes, from SMB to multinational brands.
