We do three things with Quadient Inspire: Honor communication preferences by sending letters either in paper form or electronically through secure delivery; Consolidate similar communications to personalize and customize letters; Maintain a central repository of content, fonts, images and variables.

We're currently using Quadient for dozens of letters across multiple departments. It helps us make our communications consistent, accurate, timely and personalized. Before using Quadient Inspire, we had to do manual changes across hundreds of letters. Now we can make changes to things like colors, phone numbers, CST hours and more in minutes. It's taken away a lot of the frustration and busy work from my day-to-day job and allows me to focus on improving communications to better the member experience.
  • Centralized content management
  • Variable letters based on data or point-of-mail decisions
  • Omnichannel communication
  • Content consolidation
  • Challenging user interface for things like bullets or font changes
  • Lack of a global find/replace function to automatically insert variables into text
  • Large tech lift to do major upgrades
Quadient Inspire works great across multiple letters, departments and use cases. We use it primarily for letters but I know that it can be used with great success for direct mail pieces like postcards or fliers. It's not ideal for email-only campaigns but works great in situations where we want to either send an email or a letter.

  • The time to make global changes to letters (website changes, logo changes etc.) has been reduced by 99%
  • The time to get a new letter launched is significantly reduced, especially for letters with complex variations.
  • We can now send secure communications electronically to members. We couldn't do that at all before.
Every person I've interacted with at Quadient support, from the specialists who helped us design our solution to the tech support team who fields my panicked emails, has been superb. They're knowledgeable, fast and dedicated. I've had show-stopping, catastrophic errors resolved in minutes and extremely complex never-before-seen issues resolved quickly. They know what they're doing and they don't stop until your problem is solved, often without the tiresome back and forth you see from other vendors. They get your problem fixed right the first time.
There are parts of the product that are extremely easy to use, but it can be hard to build it up to get to that point. I'm a power user and I know I've only barely scratched the surface, but the transactional users barely have to lift a finger to get their letters out. There's a lot more that can be done if I had the time and resources to devote to improving our letters more and there are times when the interface is in my way as to meeting those goals, but by and large, it's a swift and easy to use program.
We had several meetings with Quadient's professional services. They came out to collect our requirements and then developed the perfect solution for us. Early on in the process, I got the advice to build our solution to cover all of our letters, not to hyper-focus on a single department or letter type. That leads to more work at the start, but now I can build any letter from any department without any IT intervention. I thank the great advice of the professional services team for that.
Not really. It's not cheap, but it's a great value for what you get. This is enterprise-level software and the cost reflects that. The pay-per-page aspect makes sense too. We get a lot of sheets included in our contract and we use them all. It's a good contract with pricing that makes sense.

Inspire is used across several business units to handle communications ranging from marketing, statements, financial planning, disbursements, and more. We are using it more everyday.
  • Documents composition
  • Data ingestion
  • Omnichannel output
  • Ease of use
  • Better integration with api responses
  • Simplify licensing for specific features
[Quadient Inspire is] well suited to complex communications, flexible and powerful scripting. [I believe that Quadient Inspire is] kind of overkill for some simpler work.

  • Speed to market
  • Flexible and fast development
Support is slow to respond, and often have no specific solution.
Most things are thoughtfully presented, however some default settings could be different. Some features are very non intuitive and require more scripting knowledge than some developers have
[I] have not used the services.
The offerings change often, the support changes are inordinately high for the slowness and vagueness of support's responses. Licensing for certain features seems excessive compared to the complexity of the feature.

Quadient Inspire has been used in my organization for over 9 years as a composition tool for both batch and real time communication generation. It is used in several divisions for both Marketing and regulated communications. Quadient helps our company better manage content for both print and digital channels along with dynamic HTML communications.
  • HTML dynamic documents
  • Very user friendly development UI with easy to use workflow configuration tool
  • Great ability to manipulate print ready files to restructure content or pull data from the content of old legacy print to create new digital communications.
  • Production run time instance model could be more robust to not cause all processing to fail if one occurrence fails.
  • Like to see a production cloud instance
Quadient is a great software provider with great support for their Inspire product. They are a front runner of new features to the CCM and CXM software market. We use their product for both composition and print file reengineering. I would recommend this software for anyone trying to move from print to digital output.

  • Inspire has helped create more dynamic communications
  • Inspire has improved the development cycle time for onboarding new applications
We have had great support for this product for both issue resolution as well as new feature requests. Quadient is easy to work with and their team does a great job communicating their new features as they become available.
The product is very good and overall we are very satisfied. There has been a few issues with up time of the production engines that have been reported and some improvements were made. We expect the remaining issues will be fixed in the near future. Inspire is very innovative and has been the first to release several key features.
Quadient has been very good to work with and we have not had issues with contract terms in general.

  • Improved Customer Experience
  • reduction of manual processes
  • Improved Processing time
  • reduced production support costs
Overall Quadient team is very responsive and willing to come to the table and provide valuable information and resolution for problems. What tier of support you have would defiantly impact the experience you have. Had some challenges with a few members of the support team , but when brought up with the vendor it was quickly resolved.
In our previous tool sets we constantly had to say no to the business due to "tool limitations", in 4 years with Quadient we never once had to say the tool could not do something the business wanted to do. The Quadient training team is fantastic and Quadient University is a great resource for team members as well. The interfaces are all easy to use and development is much more efficient then our previous tools.
The PSO team is very involved and knowledgeable. Some times there are availability issues due to the number of companies they are supporting but they do their best to deliver on time. PSO cost aren't cheap, but they deliver a big bang for the buck especially on critical projects or involving them in strategic approaches/decisions.
We have had some challenges with the billing/ allignment of purchases to all co term to hit at the same time, but overall the deals were handled very well, and we felt valued by Quadient, and the process was fair and timely.
