This presentation is from a recent webinar hosted by Magento Inc., where guest speakers, Forrester principal analyst, Peter Sheldon, and Forrester consultant, Michael Speyer, discussed the latest eCommerce industry trends impacting merchants’ technology purchase decisions and reviewed Forrester Consulting’s Total Economic Impact model as a framework for building a business case for your eCommerce implementation or expansion.
Organizations today still face challenges when trying to identify, tap into and influence digital customers around their products and services. Traditional customer segmentation exercises are typically inward-facing and don’t lead to the appropriate return. In spite of mountains of data, a more transparent customer, and large investments to create digital personas and profiles of the targeted customer set, actual customer behavior and need sets are mostly shrouded in a mystery.
Blueocean Market Intelligence has created a proprietary solution called "Persona™" that enhances an organizations’ current customer segmentation or can be used to conduct an independent digital customer segmentation exercise. This solution provides insights around customers’ spending habits, purchase patterns, past behavior and purchases, recent and historical interaction with product categories, etc. It tracks and understands digital attributes, digital body language, up and downstream click data, sales funnel position and device preferences are important considerations for effectively identifying and building digital personas.
Using Persona's technology platform to capture Big Data effectively, we are able to empower global marketing teams to get closer to one-on-one marketing by delivering the right content to the right person, at the best time on the preferred channel.
How to Create More Effective Storytelling by Leveraging DataCourse5i
Today, dashboards have become the epitome for communicating important business data and performance metrics. Instrumental in helping organizations achieve corporate alignment around business goals and objectives, they enable faster decision making, drive data-driven business strategies and ensure ROI.
Yet, the road to building dashboards for effective storytelling is not always easy. Often organizations struggle to create the right visual dashboards due to missing links between the data and story, or the amount of time and budget invested, which digress from the main objective of the visualization exercise. Additionally, the approach to storyboard development has been traditionally flawed with just a focus on the analysis – not telling a broader story. Then, even after organizations fine tune their dashboard and align with corporate objectives, they can still find themselves falling down in terms of adoption.
In this webinar, Anees Merchant, Senior Vice President of Blueocean Market Intelligence, will share with attendees how to develop a strong practice around data visualization and structure effective processes for success. Anees will also share various best practices and mistakes to avoid so organizations can produce powerful, actionable dashboards that are intuitive and include insights that are easily interpreted by all stakeholders.
The consumer has been the king for quite a while now. Why then are organizations struggling to engage the consumer, personalize its offering and maximize the value that they can realize.

Presentation from: James McCormick, Senior Analyst, Forrester
Marketers need a system of record to keep pace with their customers’ digital journey and to recognize, understand, and engage with them on their terms. Many marketers try to do this by building a suite or platform of services. However, despite the vendor frenzy and hype, there is no off-the-shelf digital marketing suite to buy. Firms must bring together a variety of services and software components to deliver integrated digital marketing capabilities.
In this presentation Mark T. Warren (Director of Decision Science) talks about Big Data with Barclaycard, the foundations they built for it and their goals in the long term for it. Warren also discusses Barclaycard's learnings from building the foundation and how they're using these learnings and coping with market change and other challenges that can affect their long term goals.
Our Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) Solution Study covers one of the six categories presented in our Sales Enablement Best Practices Report. As the name implies, Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions provide functionality to support complex sales transactions. CPQ systems enable sales teams to custom design or configure a solution for a customer from different product sets, options or piece parts; price the solution appropriately and prepare a quote for the customer in a negotiated sales situation.
We define CPQ as comprising the strategies, processes, technologies and tools that support the organization’s ability to effectively configure products/services from a set of options, price a customized solution based on relevant internal and external factors and provide a digitally generated quote for customer signature and payment.

Annual commentary on future of corporate B2B purchasing considering organization, technology and supply base with specific challenges for purchasing leaders identified,
Not all leads will be customers. Using lead conversion processes and automation, leads can be qualified and nutured better to allow sales to focus on those leads that are likely to close.
When marketing takes more control of the lead conversion process, sales is able to focus on closing deals, rather than on selling to customers who are not interested or may not be your customers at all.

To further compound lenders’ challenges to rebuild growth, profitability and efficiency following the recent credit crisis, convergent disruption is leading to a structural change in the industry; multiple disruptive forces are converging, creating an increasingly complex and highly dynamic future environment. Accenture examines the building blocks and roadmap to success in 2020.
Today's technology gives us the ability to know exactly where are marketing dollars are being spent, the problem is that we don't have the data. It's not that we dont't have enough data, it's that we're drowning in the data that we have. It's sorting through that data and making sense of it that's the problem. The data needs to be presented in a sensible format to use it effectively. This is precisely why we asked 274 marketing professionals from a broad cross-section of industries and roles about their experience with data in their companies. The results were insightful!

E-commerce for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)Unilog Corp
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are incubators for the growth of innovation and of employment. They not only play an important role in the United States where they account for 99% of all business establishments, and have generated 9.8 Million jobs between 1993 and 2009, but also contribute a chunk of profit to the global economy. In spite of this, SMEs face umpteen challenges like non-availability of suitable technologies, small production capacities, non-availability of skilled labour at affordable costs, and inability to compete with the marketing muscle of larger organizations.
Why is focus on customer excellence so important? Because in a global, connected world in which venues, products and services are increasingly interchangeable and prices ever more transparent, the (memorable) customer experience often becomes the key differentiator. Customer Excellence pays off in general: customer retention is far less expensive than customer acquisition and great customer experience results in the reduction of (process) costs within the framework of complaint handling. Plus - it’s a profitable marketing strategy: Word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind of advertising that money can’t buy.
In this session we will show you examples and approaches on how to set-up up a customer experience measurement program that will provide you with precise data on your customers and actionable insights for the definition of customer excellence measures which will be helping you to ensure sustainable business success with meeting organizers in companies and associations.
Today\'s best consumers are multi-channel users who rely on different ways to access
businesses whether it\'s the Internet, mobile or apps, to name a few.
Businesses are
focusing on ways to optimize these channels to improve conversion rates and achieve greater results.
However, delivering an optimal customer experience is becoming increasingly more
complex. Consumer\'s expectations are higher than ever, showing less patience for slow-performing sites.
How to Drive Top-Line Growth with Customer Success Management MetricsGainsight
This presentation is all about growing your top-line revenue by leveraging Customer Success Management metrics.
The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale.
In fact, Enterprise SaaS companies that grow revenue - and company valuation - by expanding revenue within their existing customer base also know the key to making this work is to focus on - and operationalize - Customer Success.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
