On March 2, 2022, MENTIS announced its rebrand to Mage™, with the new name and logo reflecting the organization’s new offerings and strategic direction. Demands of the new information landscape, coupled with a consolidation in vendor presence, positions Mage™ to expand its market significantly. Mage™ builds on MENTIS’ traditional strengths in data security and applies its innovative approach to the data privacy market.MENTIS had understood the rapid evolution in privacy requirements was creating a solution gap in the market. In its view, vendors offering a robust data security product should streamline the challenges organizations face by addressing privacy and regulatory compliance objectives as well. The right solution should also work seamlessly across the varied data landscape found in most organizations: not only on legacy platforms, but also the modern data platforms.Embarking on Project Butterfly, MENTIS doubled down on extending its platform’s capabilities across platforms, while creating new solution approaches that built on the strengths of its current product offerings.“Mage™ retains the DNA of MENTIS and extends it further. Our goal is to be the go-to solution for enterprises around the world who are looking to solve their privacy and data security needs. This is reflected in our new logo which references the DNA helix structure and also suggests a puzzle piece – the missing piece in an organization’s privacy and security posture – which Mage™ aims to fill.”

About CMS Solutions:In January 2010, Computime's marketing division became a stand-alone company called CMS Solutions. It was dedicated to building marketing programs and generating leads for Computime through a series of strategic marketing tactics. Additionally, CMS assisted our channel partners and other companies by promoting their services and solutions with the same marketing strategies that helped our parent company Computime grow. Our tactics were designed to reach sales goals through integrated lead generation strategies that allowed the sales team to take immediate action. They also assisted in building supportive and nurturing sales/marketing relationships that, in turn, capitalized on sales opportunities.Our core competencies were simple: inbound and outbound call campaigns, track-able, behavior-driven E-mail marketing, and measurable sales support programs. Our integrated approach brought all strategies back to our call center, where we made live, personal outbound phone connection. Call campaigns offer a flexible, scalable, and measurable solution for delivering qualified leads to the top of your sales funnel while nurturing the other contacts until they are ready to be sent to sales. CMS Solutions executes campaigns, including:► Appointment Setting► Lead Generation/Cold Calling► Attendee Acquisition► Trade Show Follow Up► Data acquisition/cleansing► E-Mail MarketingI headed up the creative and sales teams for CMS Solutions. The methodologies I helped implement systematically drove CMS sales year after year. First-year sales exceeded forecasts and the second year of business saw an increase of 46%. By its third year, CMS grew sales by 50%.I have 30+ years of experience filling both sales and marketing roles. This dual perspective (or some say split personality) allowed me to understand the difference between sales and marketing qualified leads and bridge the gap between both teams to address all aspects of the sales cycle.
