We want to uncover the challenges marketers face in today’s world of marketing technology and multiple digital touch-points. The challenge lies in the fact that data sets are not integrated or unified. The solution can be found in allowing for the free flow of data between marketing technology (MarTech) platforms and organization departments. With this converged data infrastructure, the marketer will be able to create a 360-degree profile of their individual customers, helping us Mapp the customer journey and provide the foundation for truly customer-centric marketing.
7. Why are Data Silos Created?
Structural: Data is collected by a
particular group within a company for
a particular purpose. This does not
lend well to sharing of data.
Growth: Any established company
that has gone through various
leaders, philosophies, and
acquisitions will experience
incompatible systems over times.
Vendor Lock-in: Software vendors will
often limit what can be done with
data either through licensing or
proprietary data formats. These
vendors have a vested interested to
ensure you stay with their system.
Making it hard for users to leave and
take the data with them.
Political: Knowledge is power,
therefore the section of the org that
owns the relevant data is the group
that has the power.
10. Data Silos Caused by
Vendor Lock-In
1. MarTech service providers limit what can be done
with data and how it is formatted and where it can be
used
2. MarTech service providers can claim ownership of
your data – if you sever the relationship, you lose the
data
3. MarTech service providers can sometimes sell or
provide your data to your competitors
11. The Solution: Unified Data
1 Fill in the gaps 2 Aggregate data in a unified place 3 Optimize your MarTech stack
12. 1 Fill in the gaps
Skills - Employees need to have the
appropriate skill sets to collect,
enter and analyze data
Data – More is not better - data
sets should be complete, relevant
and timely
Legacy Systems - Data can easily
become trapped in legacy systems
– it must be moved into a format
that can be used with any new
system
Processes - Should all be set up to
ensure consistency of data and
data flow across the business
departments
14. 3 Optimize your MarTech stack
Diagram the marketing technology tools you
currently have in place
Pinpoint and eliminate the ones that:
• Have overlapping functionalities
• Do not provide real value
• Take too much time
• Do not have open data formats
• Require too much training
• Are frustrating to use
Implement a centralized hub to replace the
functionalities you’ve removed
15. Wrap-Up : From Data Silos to Unified Data
• There is no “one size fits all” MarTech stack
• Focus on data strategy rather than technology platforms
• Become truly customer-centric
Ultimately, unified data is at the core of any optimized MarTech stack
• Send the right message in the right channel at the
right time
• Align deep customer insights with operational
processes to drive sustainable results
