          A strong focus on customer service is at the
        
        
          heart of Arkadin’s success. The company
        
        
          has a “high touch” relationship with its
        
        
          clients, which can include virtual training or
        
        
          onsite instruction with a team of Arkadin
        
        
          employees. Their aim is to take a long-term
        
        
          approach to each client experience
        
        
          “because today’s customer might start
        
        
          with one technology and transition to
        
        
          multiple services with us over a few years.”
        
        
          In fact, Arkadin has many customers who
        
        
          have been using their services for more
        
        
          than 10 years; more than 95 per cent of
        
        
          their clients are passing the two-year mark.
        
        
          
            Finding success in
          
        
        
          
            the Canadian market
          
        
        
          Arkadin has been operating in Canada out
        
        
          of its Toronto-based operations for 10
        
        
          years. In a market dominated by large
        
        
          telecommunications companies, Arkadin
        
        
          has found its niche selling its suite of
        
        
          services to companies both large and small.
        
        
          “We’re really successful in Canada when we
        
        
          do a great job of educating our customers
        
        
          on the various services that are available.
        
        
          The uptake on selling the entire suite of
        
        
          services to our customers has been very
        
        
          strong … the solutions in their totality have
        
        
          been very well-received,” said Geoff
        
        
          Newman, VP Sales, Canada.
