Challenges
In 2016, Oxalide changed its logo. New brand block and change of color: the cloud company's dominant color changes to sky blue. Then, in 2017, Oxalide joined the Claranet group (1,800 users), which is highly developed in Europe.

About
Motul is a French industrial company that designs, develops, and distributes lubricants for engines (two-wheelers, automobiles, and other vehicles) aimed at the consumer market (BtoC). The international group also develops cutting-edge products and expertise for industry through its MotulTech activity (BtoB).
Soon after the creation of Sigilium, the Motul teams adopted the synchronized email signature service to ensure uniformity in the brand image conveyed to all group stakeholders.
With a significant challenge: as Motul is present in many countries, it needed a very simple tool with automated management and native integration with its messaging tools.

Accompany the change of messaging system
Motul has centralized the management of its email signatures with Sigilium since 2015. This is for all of its subsidiaries located around the world. The initial deployment of the email signatures was done on Google Workspace in an automated manner. All users were using Gmail for their email.
Switching from Gmail to Outlook
Following a decision by the IT teams, all users have transitioned to the Microsoft environment, and thus to Outlook on PC (and on Mac for some users).

A seamless transition
Developed for numerous messaging and CRM solutions, Sigilium has allowed IT teams to switch between environments seamlessly for user email signatures.
Specifically,
The centralized management platform remained the same for the Marketing teams.
The heavy changes initiated by IT were able to be carried out progressively, without impacting either the design of the signatures or the centralized dissemination of campaigns.
During the transition period, email signatures were updated on Gmail and Outlook.
Advantages of the Sigilium approach
Sigilium offers native integration on Outlook, with or without a Microsoft 365 license. The installation is done at the email client level only. This allows for easy management of signatures even in a heterogeneous messaging environment, as is the case during the transition from one system to another.

Challenges
Optimize the onboarding of new employees : Planity regularly integrates between 10 and 15 new employees each month. The company sought to reduce the time spent on these integrations while ensuring the consistency of email signatures from day one.
Standardize the brand image : before using Sigilium, email signatures varied from one department to another: non-standardized formats, unoptimized images. Planity needed a solution to centralize and normalize this essential part of its communication.
Simplify technical management : incompatibilities with certain devices, such as iPads and iPhones, complicated the management of signatures. Sigilium needed to address these technical challenges while facilitating the synchronization of signatures.
