management system design

Discours Direct, Seine-et-Marne

When we installed the Axis Strategy extranet system for language schools we were surprised how quickly it brought us tangible gains all round.

Our customers like it because they can monitor our courses in real time. Our teachers like it because it is much less demanding than messy paper or speadsheets. Most of all, our admin staff like it because it gives us a foolproof billing and salary routine.

Paul Stowell - Managing Director

Cambridge Training Institute, Le Mesnil Le Roi

It would only be the slightest of exaggerations to say that with the End of Course Reporting module Martin Sanders and AXIS Strategy Consultants have revolutionised both the quality of service we offer our clients and also our own business efficiency.

Beforehand doing course reports was tedious and time consuming for the teachers and administrative staff alike. Getting consistently good reports in French was a near impossibility and we were invariably later than we should have been. It has always been an Achilles heel with our clients.

Now the teachers don't need to know any French at all and what they also like is that they can do their reports in just a few minutes, either at home via the Internet, or in the office. Checking the reports takes literally just a minute or two and there are now absolutely no corrections to do so our administration staff are delighted. It means that we have freed up valuable extra resources for the business.

Perhaps most important of all, the quality of the reports which our client Training Managers see are now superb. Not only that, but as the delivery is electronic it is much much quicker, a lot more flexible and does away with some of paper that Training Managers often seem to hate so much. Another bonus is that as the Training Managers access their reports through our website they have our name presented to them much more often, which in turn gives us valuable new promotional opportunities.

All in all End Of Course Reporting is undoubtedly the best return on investment we have ever made. A big thank you to AXIS.

AAA Présentations, Paris

AAA Présentations purchased the ManageAll administration system for the language training arm of our business in early 2001. We have since worked with AXIS Strategy Consultants to develop this application into a company-wide software system integrating our other business areas, those of translation and multi-media training.

New modules have been successfully designed and implemented, in particular to handle the monthly transfer of invoices to our pre-existing accounting package, to facilitate the prospecting of clients and to manage our company profit-sharing scheme.

The key benefits to the company have been found in the harmonisation and integration of management and financial information from the different business areas under one single application. At a daily level for our administrative staff, client quotations, contracts, invoices and other paperwork are generated efficiently, avoiding the unnecessary duplication of data entry and allowing the staff to find information quickly.

We have been very happy with our cooperation so far, as not only did AXIS deliver what they had promised on time, but they gave us on numerous occasions precious advice with direct impact on the effectiveness of our company's administrative process.

May I take the liberty of thanking you so much for the excellent work you have done for our company, it has changed our lives not only by making everything more efficient but by the quality of the documents produced, which makes people's jobs easier. We look forward to continuing our partnership with AXIS as our administrative needs develop in line with those of our business.

Claude François - Managing Director

Globe Langue Solutions, Buc

The significant growth of our company meant that we had need of a suitable administrative system, one which would not require the hiring of additional staff and all the costs that this would have entailed.

The system we wanted to develop had to be easy and quick to use and without recourse to any specific software training: ManageAll is thus the result of our partnership with AXIS Strategy Consultants. ManageAll has since allowed us to administer all our training programmes and courses with just one person in the office.

finance and marketing strategies

Irish France

Irish France commissioned the services of AXIS Strategy Consultants in September 2000 with a view to the drafting of our business plan. The aim was initially to prepare the company for an injection of inward investment from Venture Capitalists/Business Angels. A business model was thus created, that has broad appeal and clear and attainable objectives and targets, with which we hope to push the project onto an international platform.

During the course of the last 12 months AXIS have become an integral part of the Irish France project, making a valuable contribution in the areas of management, sales and marketing, and the development of customer relations. In addition AXIS have undertaken the role of weekly business reporting on the business section of our website.

The assistance of AXIS has helped Irish France obtain a much more objective view of the B2C business model and thus resulted in much more efficient and profitable productivity. This ongoing input on various levels by AXIS has given us the necessary assurance to move confidently forward to the next stage of the project's development.

CASS Graduate School of International Management

CASS Graduate School of International Management, Brussels, Belgium is an innovative, niche-oriented business school with postgraduate programs in the field of Purchasing and Supply Chain management, Information Technology, International Project Management, International Management, Hospital Administration and Health Insurance Management.

After a number of years in Paris, we decided in 2002 to move our activities to a more central, internationally-oriented location in Europe and Brussels was the natural choice. We wanted to develop a new website which reflected our educational activities conducted in a modern, purpose-built campus. Through excellent references we were put in touch with Axis Strategy Consultants.

Within record time the new website was completed by AXIS. Not only was I very much satisfied with their quality of work but also the timeliness in which they were able to complete the assignment. In addition AXIS was able to offer us a competitive price followed by an excellent after-sales service. I cannot recommend highly enough AXIS Strategy Consultants when it comes to webdesign and after-sales service.

A few lines to express my thanks to advising us, guiding us and developing our website. We particularly appreciated your understanding of our requirements and the flexibility with which you could promptly and professionally adapt to our changing environment.

The site has indeed been a success, easy to access and read with an easy update facility... A true "living" website. The clear demonstration of the competence and professionalism of AXIS Strategy Consulting is to be recommended and we are looking forward to being your partner in future projects.

Jean-Michel Girard - Founder and CEO

Thanksgiving Cajun Restaurant and Grocery Store, Paris

I'm pleased to have chosen AXIS to create our website. They understood exactly how we wished to present our company and expressed it perfectly. Everything promised was delivered, on time and with no loose ends.

Not being terribly computer-literate and with little time to consecrate to the site, I especially appreciate the follow-up service they continue to provide, updating the site and quickly responding to any questions or changes that arise. If we decide to expand our internet activities, I would look no further than AXIS. They are an honest, reliable, capable and personable firm and I recommend them with no hesitation.
