 Why You Should Consider Adding Maestro to Your Existing LISTSERV Installation 
Over the course of my 12 years in sales at L-Soft, I've spoken with thousands of LISTSERV customers looking to expand on their email communication capabilities. While some are just looking to simplify their newsletter creation and mailing process, many customers are also looking for ways to engage their audiences on a more personal level and for the capability to measure the impact that their emails have actually had over time. Each of these client organizations is a bit different, of course, but there are two things they all have in common. Firstly, they already have access to LISTSERV, the most powerful and time-tested email list management solution on the market, and secondly, they want to be able to do much more with email than ever before in a quantifiable and measurable way. "LISTSERV Maestro is a complete email marketing solution that utilizes LISTSERV as its core engine." Frequently, customers ask if L-Soft can provide technical guidance or information on creating specialized custom scripts or programs that would work together with LISTSERV to increase its capabilities, or if we can help them create specialized marketing dashboards to obtain specific types of information or even include a certain type of functionality within the standard LISTSERV software itself. Of course, we could do that through our consulting services, but why re-invent the wheel? Most often, the solution to the myriad and sometimes complex customer requirements is actually quite simple – add LISTSERV Maestro. The Case for LISTSERV Maestro LISTSERV Maestro is a complete email marketing solution that utilizes LISTSERV as its core engine.
