The personal connection with
ENAVATE was crucial to us. It was
there not just in the sales phase,

Utilizing the ISV Acceleration Program,
we could benefit from QBS experience
and resources to accelerate our
transition into the cloud. Next to

Ciellos has been Serenic’s coach for two different
Microsoft-enabled programs and we could not be
happier with the level of knowledge within the Ciellos
team and the way they engage and collaborate with
us. I have no doubt that partnering with Ciellos was a
solid business decision as we were able to lean into
them for assistance across so many different areas,
whether it was coding, deployment process, licensing,
or data migration!Donna Smiley, Serenic
Innova accelerated our efforts on transforming our ISV
solution into different AppSource Apps. They helped us
in modernizing our go to market approach and to
bring our solutions into AL. In the close collaboration
they respected our priorities and provided extremely
useful daily support, from solution design, to
application best-practices at coding processes and give
us options on how to monetize our apps. It has been a
real pleasure to actively working with Innova Advanced

Building visibility in the online market is as important
as building an actual cloud product. This journey starts
on the website and goes through marketing, sales, and
pricing. Overall, it’s about finding the right mindset for
effective and efficient customer onboarding. Neural
Impact was a huge booster for us in every phase of our
project. We have been able to reduce our average
customer onboarding effort by over half. To every ISV
out there, we strongly recommend taking this journey

We’ve been very impressed with the
level of involvement from Stratos Cloud
