We especially appreciate the real-time consolidation of invoicing with bank accounts that helps us know exactly where we stand financially.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/?ir=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salesforce<\/a> &#8211; CRM<\/h2>\n<p>We picked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/a-force-to-be-reckoned-with-salesforce-integrated-with-talentlms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Salesforce<\/strong><\/a> among several competitors mainly due to its deep functionality and status as the de facto standard CRM platform. Its current interface could use some retouching, but there\u2019s an upcoming UI update, codenamed Lightning, that seems pretty solid.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stripe<\/a> &#8211; Subscriptions<\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t say enough good things about Stripe. Having worked with PayPal in the past, we found the ease of getting started with Stripe rejuvenating. Their service understands developers needs &#8212; and that shows in every possible way.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneskyapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OneSkyApp<\/a> &#8211; Translations<\/h2>\n<p>We use OneSkyApp to translate our products in various languages. The best part is the tight integration between the core translation software and a universal community of translators. In the past, we used Transifex and its Gengo integration. It worked fine but started getting too costly. <em>Sorry Transifex, but maybe lower your price?<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rackspace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rackspace<\/a> &#8211; Infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p>We decided on Rackspace as our hosting provider for two main reasons: simplicity (compared to providers like Amazon it was much easier to be productive) and support (they offered unlimited chat based support, which was something not offered by most big hosting providers).<\/p>\n<p>Rackspace is also on par with Amazon on industry certifications and other important metrics. Not that cheap, though.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/s3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon S3<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/cloudfront\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Cloudfront<\/a> &#8211; Storage &amp; CDN<\/h2>\n<p>Our \u201chybrid\u201d hosting environment blends Rackspace with Amazon\u2019s S3 for long term storage of customer files. We opted for S3 due to its combination of low cost, security and flexibility. On top of it, we leverage Amazon\u2019s Cloudfront as our CDN solution.<\/p>\n<p>S3 and Cloudfront are not that easy to work with, compared to Rackspace\u2019s Cloud Files solution, but they are much more flexible and cost-effective.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkpost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sparkpost<\/a> &#8211; Transactional emails<\/h2>\n<p>For a long time we used Mandrill for our transactional emails (the emails that are sent through the application). However, after the <strong>Mandrill fiasco<\/strong>, we had to look for an alternative solution. We didn\u2019t have to look far, though, as Sparkpost offered a painless and affordable migration process.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mailchimp<\/a> &#8211; Newsletters<\/h2>\n<p>We use Mailchimp to send newsletters to our growing communities. It is a solid product with rich functionality and very good deliverability &#8212; both of which come at a price.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/gsuite.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">G Suite<\/a> &#8211; Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar<\/h2>\n<p>We use Google\u2019s suite of business productivity solutions for handling company email, file sharing, and meetings scheduling. <em>It is from Google, so you know that it works.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/asana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asana<\/a> &#8211; Project management<\/h2>\n<p>Asana is our choice for \u201clight\u201d product management. Most of the company\u2019s projects are run through Asana. An added benefit is the transparency that it offers on the inner workings of the company. Everyone can be kept informed on what all the other teams are doing without a formal meeting or communication session.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack<\/a> &#8211; Thematic communication<\/h2>\n<p>We are not yet fully committed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/slack-integration-with-talentlms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Slack<\/strong><\/a>, but seems like a nice alternative to Skype\u2019s informational chaos. Having all conversations in a searchable system is the biggest benefit I see, combined with the kind of transparency that is also present in Asana.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skype<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/manager.skype.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skype Manager<\/a> &#8211; VOIP<\/h2>\n<p>We are heavy users of Skype for informal, day-to-day communication. A simple internal rule is that as long as you are \u201cgreen\u201d on skype, you are working. We also use it to support our international phone numbers through its VOIP functionality.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Analytics<\/a> &#8211; Traffic analysis<\/h2>\n<p>Whatever Google\u2019s reasons for creating this and giving it for free may be, we can\u2019t really complain for such a deep and usable product for traffic analysis.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semrush<\/a> &#8211; SEO optimization<\/h2>\n<p><em>Semrush is one of those products that you cannot believe exist.<\/em> It is the Swiss army knife of the marketeer, giving us insight on our competition, website SEO and myriads of other types of information.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspectlet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inspectlet<\/a> &#8211; Insights on visitors<\/h2>\n<p>Inspectlet records the sessions of your visitors on your website and lets you review afterwards. This helps your marketing department understand how specific individuals interact with your site, where they spend most of their time, and what they find unimportant. It helped us spot some improvement opportunities that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/ninjaoutreach.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ninja Outreach<\/a> &#8211; Outreach<\/h2>\n<p>Backlinks and guest blogging is a standard way to increase your traffic. It can, however, be really complex to find people that are relevant to your industry and communicate with them efficiently. This is where Ninja Outreach comes to the rescue, as it can automate this process in several meaningful ways.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/unbounce.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unbounce<\/a> &#8211; Landing pages<\/h2>\n<p>We use Unbounce to build landing pages and A\/B test them in the context of various marketing activities. This a full-featured product that helps your marketing team perform many different tests without bothering your programmers and designers.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/hackpad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hackpad<\/a> &#8211; Documents collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>We are heavy users of Hackpad for real-time content editing. One way or another, all our documents pass through Hackpad. We like the program because of its usability, no-brain sharing tools, and flat learning curve.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/instabug.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instabug<\/a> &#8211; Tracking mobile applications<\/h2>\n<p>We are building a number of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mobile applications<\/a><\/strong> at the moment, and Instabug solves an important problem we had; that of tracking crashes and allowing end-users to send meaningful feedback. I especially like the ability to take screenshots and add comments on them.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workable.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workable<\/a> &#8211; Hiring<\/h2>\n<p>Hiring is an integral part of the growing process of a company, and Epignosis does a lot of both (growing and hiring). Workable helps us keep this process organized, while also offering a searchable built-in CV library.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interviewzen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InterviewZen<\/a> &#8211; Programming tests<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of hiring, take a look on InterviewZen. This little gem of a service allows you to create programming challenges and record the programmers while they try to solve it. This process can give you incredible insight on the skills and seniority of a programmer.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uservoice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uservoice<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zendesk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zendesk<\/a> &#8211; Support<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Support is an essential part of our offering.<\/strong> We currently support customers via Uservoice (for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TalentLMS<\/a><\/strong>) and Zendesk (for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eFrontPro<\/a><\/strong>). Both products have their pros and cons, with Zendesk being a more complete product and Uservoice having a feature-voting mechanism which we find invaluable for prioritizing further development.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.browserstack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BrowserStack<\/a> &#8211; Browser compatibility<\/h2>\n<p>If you have worked on support then you understand what it means to have a client saying that your app does not work on some old version of an obsolete browser. BrowserStack has a convenient answer to this problem, as it lets you test your application on any browser you can imagine.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub<\/a> &#8211; All the code you can eat<\/h2>\n<p>We use GitHub to control the development of our software. Despite a number of stability issues now and then, GitHub has nailed it when it comes to the usability and flexibility aspect of managing big software projects. What I really like is the ability to mention issues on software commits that then become comments on related open issues.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/gr_en\/creativecloud.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Creative Cloud<\/a> &#8211; Photoshop and more<\/h2>\n<p>The tools of choice for most senior designers,\u00a0Adobe Creative Cloud includes the full Adobe suite of products, but most importantly, Photoshop and Illustrator.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/balsamiq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balsamiq<\/a> &#8211; Low fidelity mockups<\/h2>\n<p>Balsamiq is a joy to use for creating low fidelity prototypes. Our team uses it to sketch the flow of our apps before building more detailed photoshop mockups and designs. This process saves enormous amounts of time for our designers and product owners.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisionapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invision<\/a> &#8211; Collaborate on designs<\/h2>\n<p>Efficiently collaborating on design prototypes is a difficult problem. Invision tackles it in a efficient way by letting people comment directly on designs.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/zeplin.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeplin<\/a> &#8211; Design specifics<\/h2>\n<p>Zeplin is another little gem that improves the communication between designers and programmers. It allows programmers to get details like spacing, colors and font selections directly from designs.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotomeeting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GotoMeeting<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom.us<\/a> &#8211; Video conferencing<\/h2>\n<p>We often conduct product presentations to potential clients through GotoMeeting and Zoom.us. Both are nice and rather inexpensive products that you can also use to host Webinars.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/baremetrics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baremetrics<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chartmogul<\/a> &#8211; KPIs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Keeping track of the health of your SAAS is important<\/strong>. Baremetrics and Chartmogul are two excellent products that can help you digest your numbers. We use both, as each has a subset of different features that we find useful. Chartmogul offers more opportunities to slice and dice your data, while Baremetrics is generally more visually attractive.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/uptimerobot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UptimeRobot<\/a> &#8211; Stay alive<\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous tools that help you build a status page for your service. The main benefit is that they reassure your customers you can maintain a good uptime record. They can also be used internally as a notification service for your operation team in case of an emergency. We opted in favor of UptimeRobot due to its minimal design and price.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">99Designs<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UpWork<\/a> &#8211; Freelancers for micro tasks<\/h2>\n<p>We have used 99Designs and UpWork (previously oDesk) for various small tasks, from banner creation to blog writing.<\/p>\n<p>99 design is primarily for visual designs and is based on contests that give you many suggestions from which you select a few that pass to next stage. In Upwork, on the other hand, you opt in favor of a freelancer based solely on personal communication and previous reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Both need considerable management effort from your team &#8212; and your results may vary, but nonetheless both are worthy additions to your toolbox.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.google.com\/home\/?zd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adwords<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adroll.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adroll<\/a> &#8211; CPC campaigns<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of our marketing effort revolves around Adwords. Optimizing an Adwords campaign requires a lot of effort and specialized skills, as the complexity and keywords competition has skyrocketed in the last years.<\/p>\n<p>A nice alternative can be Adroll. We used Adroll for retargeting campaigns in the past with good results. It offered a more polished interface when compared to Adwords. However, now that Adwords offers retargeting, among myriads of other things, it makes little sense for us to use Adroll on top of it.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GetApp<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Capterra<\/a> &#8211; Directories<\/h2>\n<p>Software directories can be an effective way to promote your products. Two prominent such directories that we use are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/hr-employee-management-software\/a\/talentlms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GetApp<\/a><\/strong> and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/learning-management-system-software\/spotlight\/132935\/TalentLMS\/Epignosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Capterra<\/a><\/strong>, as they bring targeted traffic that can be easily converted to customers. Just make sure you have a great product listing and strong testimonials.<\/p>\n<h2>Encodemagic &#8211; Media transcoding<\/h2>\n<p>This started as an internal project but is now also a product by itself. Encodemagic offers a unique blend of conversion profiles between multimedia files. Most other conversion services are limited to video files (e.g., AVI to MPG4), but it also offers some unique conversions like Powerpoint-to-Video.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/grunticon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grumpicon<\/a> &#8211; Turns your SVG images to CSS<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least, <em>my favorite little toy of the past,<\/em> Grumpicon.
