De Beers, London, the world's leading diamond company, has
installed Solcara Communications Centre to manage stakeholder engagement
and communications across the globe. De Beers joins a number of large
plcs, government organisations and international enterprises that have
benefited from deployment of Solcara's Communications Centre.
Implemented at the De Beers office in London, Solcara
Communications Centre will aid the communications teams when managing
stakeholder relationships, providing a comprehensive contact database,
an enquiry management service and an events calendar. The Communications
Centre works by creating one area where all vital information is easily
accessible for sharing, distribution and evaluation. Team members,
activities and information can work together for a faster, more
efficient media operation.
Kirsty Lane, Media Relations Executive at De Beers commented,
"The De Beers Communications Team is always looking for ways
to bring our disparate teams closer together by sharing current
information and best practice across all markets. For the first time we
have a secure, online stakeholder management database that we can all
access, no matter where in the world we are located. Solcara enables any
of our users to get the information they need about an issue,
stakeholder or event in real-time."
Rob Martin, Solcara's Managing Director added,
"Solcara Communications Centre continues to prove an
indispensable tool for marketing, press and media relations personnel
across all business sectors. Solcara Communications Centre is now
installed at some of the largest and most prestigious companies in the
UK and the global leader in terms of diamond production.
"What we have found is that once deployed, Solcara's
Communications Centre becomes indispensable and we are particularly
pleased to see how many former customers who move jobs, quickly order
Communications Centre when in their new role."
Initially piloted by De Beers' UK office, Solcara's
Communications Centre has since been rolled out to De Beers'
international operations - within its External & Corporate Affairs
offices in South Africa, India, Russia and Canada.
