OtherLevels believes that the future go-tomarket model for the sale and distribution of marketing technology ("mar-tech") will be direct sales to a small number of large sophisticated enterprises, and a service led solution combining mar-tech and related services to the broader mid-market. A strategic and selective acquisition program, provides the opportunity to consolidate a fragmented sector, while securing further distribution channels for the OtherLevels platform."

XCOM will enable OtherLevels to implement a number of cross marketing programs which along with cost savings in premises and back-office, will deliver revenue and cost synergies to OtherLevels.
