What is social media?
Social Media is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. It
is the shift from a broadcast mechanism, One-to-Many, to a Many-to-Many model, rooted in conversations
between authors, people, and peers.
Brian Solis, Social Media Thought Leader

Social media approach …. Internal stakeholders
What are the key constituents to justifying a social media and
customer analytics approach ….

customers to better meet their needs, drive greater loyalty and profitability? (Source: CMO Study 2009)
● Time to reach mass audience has shortened from 38 years 3 years with social media...Twitter reached 50 million users in
3 years. How can we be more nimble and cost-effective in our approach to acquiring and retaining customers to meet
revenue objectives? (Source: CMO Study and Gartner CEO Study, 2009)
● Brand contributed to 68% and 71% of Disney’s and MacDonald’s market capitalization respectively. Shouldn’t we measure
the business impact of our brand’s performance using social media? (Source: Interbrand)
● Kryptonite’s faulty bicycle lock started with one compliant and over 10 days reached up to 1.8M posts, forcing the company
to spend $10M in free product exchanges. What can we do to anticipate and quickly manage crises and threats to our
reputation?
● Analytic-driven organizations outperform their peers in revenue, EBITDA, return on invested capital. Are we capable of
getting a consolidated view of customer and supportive analytics? (Source: CFO Study 2010)
● Consolidated management of social and customer analytics with technologies that provide insight into structured and
unstructured customer data for a consistent view across the organization. Are we able to get a consistent view of the
customer across different technologies?
● Packaged social media analytics that assesses customer and stakeholder perceptions that can scale with business needs
and minimize IT support. How can we consolidate the number of vendors?
● Seamless BI glide path to existing Cognos and integration support for other IBM assets, helping you more effectively gain

Business Analytics and Optimization
• No Question - The richness of social media data and the unbounded growth of user
generated content found in networks, communities, blogs, forums, etc., on the web provides
an exceptional opportunity for companies to more effectively listen to and discern what
being said about your products and services by real people passionate about their beliefs:
• Social media monitoring tools provide and excellent opportunity to listen, analyze and
evaluate conversations to understand more about key issues and/or how a company may be
viewed by influential members of important communities
• However, the answer does not lie in technology alone. As a matter of fact, applying
technology without a strong understanding of customer objectives, subject areas and
capabilities of analytical tools is not very useful or productive.
AT IBM, we believe that as designers, developers and users of social
media tools who live and breath social media we can provide strong
results for companies to evaluate for how to successfully integrate
social media into current business processes and objectives
• We would be happy to structure a project to address your unique social media monitoring
needs
