Columbus

An integrated Suite for Enterprise Information Management (EIM)

Users expect a great experience every time they interact with your business. They want digital and printed communications that are relevant and engaging, delivered any way they choose. However, adapting business applications to work with the mobile, web and social media touch points favored by many customers can be time consuming and costly.
