Why consultancy firms love using and selling WorkDrive

  • Last Updated : January 6, 2025

We've discussed several industries before in our blog. This time, we'll be covering the consultancy firms who help support clients' purchase decisions. For a fully-fledged industry that boils down to "giving advice for a price," there's a lot to unpack. First, let's understand how being involved in consultancy is different from other industries.

What's unique about consultancy firms? 

There's something quirky about consultancy firms. On the surface, it seems like it's yet another take on retail, where it's about selling products and services to B2C or B2B customers. But there's more to it than that. Consultancy services first provide independent and individualized advice for certain kinds of problems and suggest solutions which their clients can then decide to purchase. There's no storefront; instead, it involves an extensive series of interactions in order to convince clients how they can most effectively solve their issues.

Consultancy providers include professionals who deal with coaching solutions , whether it relates to teaching, finance, or personal health. There are also creative consultants who help clients identify optimal aesthetic design choices, whether for a building's architecture or a business's website.

Finally, we come to consultants who specialize in IT solutions and in analyzing clients' requests, building (and rebuilding) app solutions based on that research, and finally implementing them into their clients' organizations. Given the currently over-crowded ecosystem for IT services—wherein there's a high number of products built and released every year—consultants can help clients find the best possible solutions.

Giving consultants what they need

WorkDrive offers a bit of everything as a content collaboration platform. A generic consultancy firm, for example, would use the entirety of WorkDrive feature offerings. Here's a look at what we mean.

To explain how WorkDrive helps consultants in the first place, we need an idea of how their processes pan out.

To begin with,  consultants deal with vast amounts of client data, contacts, external files, and their own firm's database of licenses, reports, and employee details.

Helping clients segment all of that information and make it quickly and easily accessible to the various departments involved in the business process reduces all of this complexity into something much simpler.

A key aspect of the consultancy industry is how client-heavy it is, and, by extension, the sheer multitude of files consultancies have to share back and forth externally. Keeping this exchange of information active is a primary goal for any decent content-collaboration platform.

This also means that such firms need to have enough flexibility to set up security parameters for establishing smoother transfer of files. This could include setting passwords to screen for clients when they send files to you or having a set time before a shared link is available to them.

Being a consultancy firm also entails that the main task force isn't even necessarily at the office; they're out in the field, hosting and attending events, talking to clients, or building a network of potential buyers as well as services they can resell. All of these duties necessitate computer devices, but they can't be running around with their huge workstations everywhere, can they?

You can avoid that issue by enabling your employees' travel laptops to mirror your company's WorkDrive content for quick access. You can save certain important files on your laptop for offline use, knowing that every change will be synced as soon as you return online. That way, your field employees can always stay on the right track.

One facet of the consultancy industry that often gets overlooked due to the industry's face-to-face nature is content creation. Someone in the firm needs to help create emails or newsletters for better outreach, important form templates to register new clients, or other materials to follow up with certain internal processes.

Similarly, all spreadsheets and slideshows that contain reports, as well as the many articles related to company policies, have to be available somewhere, and WorkDrive is right there to help out.

The things we've mentioned here are just a few of the features that WorkDrive offers to help support consultancy firms. With our tight, 24/7 security standards, you can utilize many other features and applications under this content collaboration umbrella. If you still need more functionalities, you can find integrations that slot right into your account without any hassle.

 

Wrapping up 

WorkDrive is a SaaS solution that competes against several others in the content collaboration app space. Consultancy firms help us by sharing our story with potential clients we don't know about. We do our part by providing best-in-class features to help drive success for their businesses. Consultancy firms are complex and hard to navigate from an analytical lens, but they help keep markets alive.
