Tarari – White Papers

Like many technology companies, Tarari discovered early on that its most valuable content was inside the heads of its engineers and product managers. While these people rarely have time to stop and write a paper, they are constantly creating and delivering presentations. Tarari engaged venTAJA to record and convert presentations into white papers, getting rich technical content out of people’s heads and into print.
