Reading tip: Seven good reasons for using ISS Nautilus

Firmly established with our customers

With ISS Nautilus4Digital, we are relying on a powerful solution to future-proof our digital ecosystem. The collaboration with SQL Service helps us to drive our digital growth and offer our partners and customers even better services.

Matthias Trott

Vice President of Product and Adtech Operations

DBCFM is a great initiative where marketers, agencies and their customers directly benefit from simplified communication, a clear increase in efficiency through further automation and increased data quality. We are therefore convinced that this new standard will establish itself step by step in the market - and increasingly so as more publishers and agency networks participate.

Thorsten Ebbing

Chief Investment Officer GroupM Germany

In order to offer our advertising partners the best user experience, we need to digitize the value chain. Our Nautilus booking system is a central building block in this. Making our print titles accessible via it is a logical step - also in the implementation of our CrossOver strategy. With the onboarding of print, we have now integrated almost all genres into Nautilus, so that everything is possible from one system, from quotation to order management to billing.

Isabella Thissen

COO Ad Alliance

SQL has been our partner for many years and regularly develops new solutions for us for a range of services that is up-to-date with the market. By switching to ISS Nautilus as a SaaS solution, we are reducing complexity and ensuring even more stable processes - a welcome optimisation for the benefit of our customers.
