Why the research was commissioned

With no direct competitors for their product in the SME space, Illumnis were concerned that there is an awareness gap for their product and that the pricing model does not allow for full stack developers to be engaged on every installation.

They wanted support from the Growth through Green Programme to develop a robust marketing plan, sales strategy as well as a programme for lean continued development, installation and support of the product.
