Candoris Corporate Repositioning, Rebranding, and Execution

Candoris offers information technology solutions with a strong, mission-driven culture which supports a substantial amount of non-profit clients. They are a Dell EMC preferred channel partner.

Candoris experienced rapid growth during a period from being a start-up company to offering an ever-expanding set of solutions and products (data storage and protection, security, virtualization, networking, cloud, application development, salesforce consulting and managed services) and needed to clearly define and differentiate themselves and their unique offerings in order to win market share while embracing their culture and values.

• Candoris was well poised to be the IT partner of choice based on having an ideal and timely set of solutions for digital transformation combined with a unique, company culture and focus.
• Strategic partner relationships with Dell/EMC and SalesForce could be strengthened via focused activities to collectively build business.
• Our messaging process unveiled that there was a significant positioning and branding opportunity to verbally and visually illustrate the concept of Candoris being a “digital pathfinder” who could guide customers through every path along their unique journey towards digital transformation.
• An integrated marketing approach beginning with the brand insight of “digital pathfinder” was extended cohesively throughout all marketing communication initiatives to drive ROI.

• Experienced double-digit growth after the positioning and branding launch.
• New branding work was fully embraced by employees, partners and customers.
• Strengthened the business relationship with their largest strategic partner, Dell/EMC, and were featured at Dell Technologies Global Partner Summit.
• Named to CRN’s Solution Provider top 500 list.
• Candoris was recently acquired by CDI.
