This auxi customer is the digital business transformation arm of a global leader in media, communications and advertising.
Since its launch in 2022, the strategy team has expanded rapidly, serving clients across tele- communications, financial services, tourism and hospitality, and broader AI initiatives.
We’ve expanded quickly, and brought new clients who benefit not only from strategy consulting but also end-to-end solutions across engineering, experience and data. — Senior Strategy Consultant
The company relied heavily on English to Arabic translation services to accommodate clients in the MENA region. However, inaccuracies led to significant back and forth along with increasing costs.
Previously, this is something we would do with a translation agency, which is not only costly, but it is also very time consuming with the back and forth. — Senior Strategy Consultant
Having tried and tested a variety of tools, the team still faced ongoing challenges around formatting and workflow interruptions. On average, the team was spending around 2 minutes to find templates from a master deck, which slowed execution consistently.
It would usually take finding master decks, inserting and saving templates, and then going back to slides. It was very limiting to have such a workflow, where we’d have to pause work even if it would take us 30 seconds to do so. — Senior Strategy Consultant
With legacy systems, the team often needed one person to own the tool and the relationship with its backend support, due to its user experience.
To better serve their clients in the MENA region, the company wanted to be more efficient with translation. With auxi, the team — though lean — was able to turn around translated decks and RFPs quickly
When we started out, the translation element was really key to serve our local clients, especially those who mandate that in RFP responses, without burdening the team or incurring high costs. — Senior Strategy Consultant
Translation with auxi also allowed the team to meet deadlines when larger proposals are due on a Thursday and translation needs to run late into Wednesday nights.
With auxi, we’re able to translate at a super low cost, live. — Senior Strategy Consultant
The company has a team of highly seasoned consultants who have been operating PowerPoint and a wide range of add-ins throughout their careers. When choosing an enterprise PowerPoint add-in, a key requirement was ease of use.
With a lot of senior consultants joining, it was important to have a productivity software (auxi) with a friendly user interface that does not need a lot of training to get used to. Simultaneously, auxi’s SmartBar was a big plus in terms of speed to learning. — Senior Strategy Consultant
When evaluating a new PowerPoint add-in, the company wanted to steer away from legacy tools that offered limited support. With auxi, they found tailored walkthroughs of all the essential features and guidance on how to optimize it for internal success.
We didn’t need to be experts in auxi instantly. We received ongoing support. The customer success team being directly accessible and allowing us to get deeper into the tools was one thing we really appreciated. — Senior Strategy Consultant
After implementing auxi, the company saw the desired consistency in their PowerPoint presentations. This has also allowed the team to ship projects faster.
Our decks are always consistent in formatting at a quicker rate, without relying on or burdening consultants or analysts. — Senior Strategy Consultant
Today, with auxi, the team is able to format, check and optimize within a matter of clicks — not hours or days.
While cost and time savings have been the larger benefits for the team, AI features have been another winning element.
