Editor's Notes
- #6 I managed the entire RFP process and development of features and criteria. Vendor selection (I used propeople), design, workflows, DCDM methodology, hosting and deployment. This was the very first end-user community ever developed by Samsung for end user customers. This was, simply put, a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a community for the biggest, and most well known consumer brand on the planet.
- #7 Social monitoring is critically important for strategy and deployment. Samsung had a corporate agreement with Tracx.com
- #10 I managed the entire RFP process and development of features and criteria. This is the 2nd community I built for Infoblox, as you’ll see in an upcoming slide. This B2B community focuses on customers and developer resources, including GitHub Integration, API codes, Perl Scripts and many other technical requirements needed by our customers and partners. We were told by the vendor, upon launching, that our community has the feature set and capability of other sites after 4+ years of continued development. #ILoveMyJob
- #11 AAR Program: Hypothesis of program - determine if having TSE’s involved directly on community would deflect support calls. The answer was overwhelmingly yes. We captured “depth of conversation,” time to close, escalations, tracked “trending issues,” and utilized @AskSymantec handle + end user community “direct message” feature to ID issues. During the 6 month pilot, we had 5 TSEs involved. 3 were directly involved in the community, answering questions, getting more details, looking up solutions, and posting a possible solution directly to the community to allow users to “vote” and suggested “solved” within the community. The Infoblox community was originally built with these features as well, but do not know if they are currently available. A main KPI was to “acknowledge” (comment on a user’s thread) within 6 hours. We also tracked this, and inquired with the customer after case-closure if they were “happy” with the service provided. The additional 2 TSE’s were responsible for tracking support cases, and analyzing opportunities for developing blogs, white papers, videos, etc., that would resolve customer issues before they called. They would in turn upload that content to the community and point people to it. The overall support organization adopted this model, and today there are over 30 TSEs directly involved in the community supporting customers.
- #12 There were over 400 active accounts (within 6 months) that needed migration. Additionally, there were a number of outdated documents that needed a refresh prior to publishing to the new community.
