Company
Artesia is a start-up company, focusing on the enterprise use of social media, user communities and virtual worlds. We firmly believe that in the inter-connected business world of today and tomorrow, the successful companies will be the ones that will use the evolving social media and virtual world technologies to add value to their customers, business partners and employees.
Selecting the best tools for the job can be daunting. It is no longer enough to set up a forum or company blog - the abundance of tools for communication and relationship building requires careful selection of the best tools for the job. That is why we developed our SocialMatch™ methodology - an end-to-end solution that is based on company requirements, social technographics profiles of the target users and company strategy. Artesia was invited to present SocialMatch™ at the Mindtrek 2008 conference in Finland.
Artesia is a member of Technology park Ljubljana. Our business plan, which details how Artesia helps business and organizations transform for the “user community era” and how we prepare for the transformation of services it will bring, placed second in the "Best business plan of the year" contest in december of 2007 and qualified for the Start:Up.SI 2008 finals.
We are located in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia (European Union). We can collaborate with you either on-site or using the best distance collaboration tools.
