Founder at Parallax
We don't know about you, but we're tired of talking about The Great Resignation. It's true that labor markets are incredibly tight and there's more competition than ever to attract and retain top talent. Salaries and benefits are going up, and increased competition in the market is squeezing margins causing a new level of anxiety for software development, digital marketing, and tech consultancy owners.
But it's not that workers in these sectors are quitting in droves seeking out better working conditions like they were in other sectors. It's that they're mobile, marketable, and in-demand, and they're looking for better jobs. Economists and commentators are now seeing past the initial Great Resignation hype and thinking about it more as a Great Reshuffling. No matter what you call it, it's still bonkers out there.
If there's a silver lining to all this, it's that digital services companies should use this period to implement a "product strategy" to evolve their service offerings to be ahead of the market, engage their people in order to increase the value of their teams and their products, and differentiate themselves based on their firm’s value -- not on its price. This is our core vision at Parallax.
Parallax provides a complete picture of your operational performance, and identifies opportunities for growth and evolution by integrating and leveraging the tools your team already uses and loves. We are a professional services automation solution built to encourage industry best practices that lead to healthier, more strategic operations from sales, all the way through to delivery. Because achieving sustainable, predictable growth and evolution requires measured and consistent operations – especially in an environment where you’re investing more to attract and retain talent and competition (and commoditization) are squeezing margins.
We've been lucky enough to help a number of Bureau of Digital members improve their operations and grow with more confidence and we'd love to do more. As a way to say thanks to the Bureau community, we're lowering the barrier to entry with a special offer for members that we are confident will see value quickly.
So, what are the "qualifications" for this special offer you ask?
A Growth Mindset
First, it's important to us that you are excited about growth and want to evolve your business with purpose. If staying small is the goal, that's awesome, but we're probably not going to be much help!
We Play Nice with The Tools You Love
Although we're adding new integrations all the time, we can deliver value much faster if your team is using the tools we already integrate with including:
CRM: Hubspot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Copper
Time Tracking: Harvest, Toggl, Everhour, Noko, Clockify, Tempo*
Communications: Slack, MS Teams
Project Management: Asana*, JIRA*
* Indicates integrations that are planned to be released this month.
You’re Ready to Move Beyond Task Based Pricing!
We understand that many service firms believe they need to price their projects at the task level. We don't. In fact, we think you might be leaving money on the table and potentially driving your team nuts. If you are pricing projects based on resources over time, then we're ready for you! If you want to move to that model, we're here to help you get there! (Also, we're assuming you're pricing using fixed bid, T&M or retainer models because... why wouldn't you be?)

So if you're ready to break away from homegrown tools or all-in-one solutions that bring more headaches than solutions, get in touch and book your demo today. We believe that by connecting the tools your team already loves you can create better operational habits and ultimately drive performance -- helping you grow and evolve with purpose. Because in this hyper-competitive market, we all need planning for what’s ahead.
