Marketing automation is a software/technology that streamlines, automates, and measures marketing tasks and workflows so that companies can increase their operational efficiency and grow revenue faster. In other words, companies don’t employ marketing automation to automate their marketing. They utilise it to increase revenue quickly, generate high-quality sales-ready leads, measure, and prove marketing Return on Investment (ROI). However, while a handful of companies achieve amazing ROI from marketing automation, others achieve modest gains, and even a few fail to get any value at all.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Customer Lifecycle Software Stack: 12 Tools to Help You
Raise Profits by 75%
process.st/customer-lifecycle-software-stack
Jane Courtnell
October 13, 2021
The customer lifecycle begins with awareness and matures to advocacy, from the first
interaction with your brand, to an evangelized super-user who raves about and recommends
your product to friends, family and associates.
This Process Street article focuses on the customer lifecycle management – how to
understand the different stages of the customer’s lifecycle, and guide them from initial
awareness to long-term advocacy, with the help of tech.
Optimal customer lifecycle management is vital as this can maximize customer lifetime value
(CLV) by boosting customer retention. This, in turn, will bolster your bottom-line by:
1. Selling to an existing customer base: There’s a 60-70% chance of selling to an
existing customer base relative to a 5-20% chance of selling to new prospects.
2. Increasing customer retention: A mere 5% increase in customer retention is
enough to raise a company’s profits by 75%.
2. 2/18
Getting customer lifecycle management right can be tough. To help you, we’ve put together
this list of essential tools to complete your customer lifecycle software stack, for optimal
customer lifecycle management.
Each tool is chosen as per the customer lifecycle stage it’s best used for. Each customer
lifecycle stage will have differing aims, which means it’s vital you use the right tools to meet
your objectives. For this article, we’ve done the work for you.
Let’s dive right in!
Understanding the customer lifecycle in detail
Customers pass through several stages as they interact with your brand. These stages make
up the customer lifecycle, and are as follows:
1. Awareness 💡: This is the first stage of the customer lifecycle. During this stage, the
prospect recognizes they have a problem and have an impulse to act and solve this
problem. They see your offering as a potential solution.
2. Engagement 🧐: Once your customers are aware of you, they’ll start to seek out your
marketing content by following you on social media, signing up to your email, checking
out your blog, etc. They’ll also start to pay attention to what others are saying about
your brand. Your prospects are engaging with you.
3. Evaluation : Once your customers have identified their problem to be solved,
they’ll research the best solution. During this evaluation phase, customers will be
comparing you to your competitors. Customers can use online, word-of-mouth,
showrooms, sale representatives, or other sources of information.
4. Purchase 🥇: This is crunch time. Your prospect has made their final decision. And
because you employ effective customer lifecycle management techniques, your
prospects have chosen you over your competitors.
5. Post-purchase 💰: Once your customers have made their purchase, the hard work
doesn’t stop there. You want to retain your customers, and to do that you need to use
the right post-purchase strategies. This means delivering an exceptional customer
experience. This stage is all about preventing customer churn.
6. Advocacy : Advocacy is about getting your existing customers to positively talk
about your brand and offering. At this stage, you’ll want to cement your relationship
with your customers. You should continue to provide a high-quality, supporting service,
plus nurture a connection with proactive engagement. Your aim is to create an
emotional bond with your customers. If you do this well, you’ll see your customers
jumping back into the purchasing stages of their lifecycle, upgrading their purchases,
and encouraging others to do the same.
You want to move your customers from the awareness stage to the advocacy stage in as little
time as possible. There are a plethora of software tools out there to help you do this. With
this in mind, we’ve scoured the software space to find the best tools you should use for each
3. 3/18
customer lifecycle stage.
Without further ado, let’s jump straight to it!
Customer lifecycle software to help build brand awareness 💡
Prospects enter the customer lifecycle at the awareness stage. During this stage, you must
have a clear idea about where your target audience spends most of their time. If we take the
average American, they spend 6 hours a day online. This means the process of identifying,
reaching, and analyzing your target audience’s online activity should be trouble-free.
Below are tools to help you during this awareness stage.

What are the additional details that move the needle for a customer to make the
purchase?

Integrate your customer lifecycle software apps together using
Process Street
The applications mentioned in this article are uniquely designed to serve one stage of your
customer’s lifecycle. As mentioned, Process Street is an excellent app for delivering
exceptional customer experiences. But Process Street has another brilliant use case when it
comes to customer lifecycle management.
Each stage in a customer’s lifecycle is linked, meaning stages should not be considered in
isolation. Customer movement is fluid from one stage to the next, and customers can even
move backward, and jump stages. What you need is a means of linking these customer
lifecycle stages and the applications used in each. And to do that, you can turn to your
business processes.
At the core of your business, there are processes. These processes form a network, linking
teams, departments, and tasks. By documenting your business processes, you’ll have full
transparency of who is doing what and when.
In terms of customer lifecycle management, you can use your documented processes to track
a customer’s movement between the lifecycle stages, and interact with the relevant
applications when needed. For this interaction, you can integrate Process Street with other
customer lifecycle applications using the third-party integration tool Zapier.
With these integrations, customer information is securely stored in a Process Street workflow
and passed back and forth between this workflow and your customer lifecycle applications.
For more information on how to set up these integrations, visit our Integrations help page.
