The
Evolution of B2i Technology’s Robust IR Platform and their affiliate Halliburton
IR.
Halliburton Investor Relations and Communications (HIR) is a successful strategic
investor relations and communications firm that adds value through an innovative,
tailored approach to their client’s investor relations and communications needs
—-for the last 29 years. Over twenty years ago Troy Ussery, B2i Technology
future Founder met with Alan Halliburton, Founder and Chairman of HIR, to discuss
a new robust Investor Relations platform. ‘It was Software As A Service that
no one else had,’ said Hala Elsherbini,
Senior Vice President at HIR. Alan
Halliburton was excited about this new concept ‘that was ahead of its time’ and
decided his firm would help by being an affiliate and be part of the
development process.
B2i
Technologies is among HIR’s preferred partners due to their high level
development work, superior functionality, information design and seamless
integration into corporate websites. HIR services clients by managing, or directing, a full
scope of IR needs based on more than 20 years of investor relations practice
experience. B2i’s robust platform and newly developed modules have been
developed by following industry best practices. ‘One of the greatest advantages
working within the B2i IR platform is the powerful backend contact
manager. A CFO can track particular IR
contacts and share notes via an auto email without a phone call to keep us
updated, saving time,’ noted Elsherbini.
‘HIR
works with clients to develop new IR websites or they have come to us already
produced with another IR solution. Because of our partnering relationship with
B2i, we have actively presented and recommended B2i Technologies platform to
our existing and new clients. It has more functionality, flexibility of how critical
information is displayed with seamless integration to their brand—but more
importantly plug-ins are easy to install, use and update quickly. On an added note, cyber security is becoming
more and more of a concern and we haven’t had one breach in security for any of
our clients. Now we have over 80% of our clients using B2i’s platform. And, HIR
is still working with B2i evolving the technology to be more refined and
supportive to our clients needs.’
What
is the biggest benefit being an affiliate to B2i? ‘First, let me say something about B2i’s responsiveness.
I don’t know of any company we have worked with that has responded so quickly
and has totally jumped in at any time to train or help solve an issue. To this
day we feel that HIR is B2i’s only client. Also, this technology helped us
streamline work flow driven by technology and we are able to streamline
productivity without compromising our credibility and quality work for our
clients.’
