# Shoantel Limited

Shoantel is an independent Digital Asset Management (DAM) consultancy based in Southsea, specialising in the implementation and optimisation of Extensis Portfolio. The firm provides expert guidance to organisations seeking to deploy Portfolio effectively, from initial setup through to ongoing customisation and workflow integration.

Founded by Mark Anderson, a recognised authority in the Portfolio and Tinderbox user communities, Shoantel combines deep technical expertise with practical implementation experience. Anderson's authorship of PortfolioFAQ and aTbRef demonstrates his commitment to knowledge sharing within these specialist fields.

The consultancy serves clients of all sizes, from small organisations to larger enterprises, offering tailored solutions that extend beyond basic Portfolio deployment. Shoantel also specialises in Tinderbox customisation by Eastgate, handling both in-application configuration and complex import/export workflows that integrate multiple systems.

What distinguishes Shoantel is its positioned expertise rather than generalist approach. Rather than offering broad-brush consultancy, the firm focuses intently on DAM implementation and these specific platforms. This specialisation allows Shoantel to work effectively as a trusted partner for resellers and general consultancies who need Portfolio expertise they cannot provide in-house. The independent status means clients receive unbiased advice aligned to their actual requirements, not tied to particular vendor relationships.

Shoantel's strength lies in translating complex DAM requirements into practical Portfolio deployments whilst maintaining a presence within the user communities it serves.
