DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.

5. Developing your Strategy
A. Who is the target?
B. What is the message?
C. How can we engage?
D. What tools do we use?
E. How do we build a base?
F. Define Success
G. Delegate the Responsibility
6. A. Who is the target?
Different strokes for different folks.
If your target is everyone – think again,
Just like any other media – get
specific to the demographic that can
most effect your organization.
Details – Age range, occupation type,
Location, etc.
7. B. What is the message?
Now that you have defined your target,
what do you want them to know or
do?
Craft clear direct messaging for them, not
for you.
8. C. How can we engage?
The target has the message, how can we
capture their attention and keep it
long term?
9. D. What tools do we use?
Based on the answers from A-C – decide
what SM tools to use or not use to
achieve your goals.
10. E. How do we build a base?
Now that we have the perfect SM
campaign we need to build a base of
users.
11. F. What is success?
Defining success will make success feasible
and possible.
12. G. Define Responsibility
One primary person must maintain
primary responsibility for success.
Subs can contribute but performance and
content is always monitored by the
primary.
Hold accountable and define deliverables
for success.
14. REMEMBER
Social Media is about Permission
Marketing – not Interruption
Marketing.
“Permission marketing is the privilege (not the
right) of delivering anticipated, personal and
relevant messages to people who actually
want to get them.”
-Seth Godin, Marketing Guru
15. So, Don’t Burn the Permission
“If you burn the permission no one will pay
attention to your posts which defeats the
purpose. Give value and you shall receive”
-Me
16. Permission marketing is
measurable.
• Your website and the associated tools are
incredibly trackable – use the data to make
adjustments to your campaign.
17. Creating a reasonable
campaign to available
resources
• If you have 1 hour a week to dedicate to
Social Media – Your campaign should look
different then the org that has a part time
person dedicated to the effort.
18. Active SM
Actively telling a story
and engaging in a
conversation with
constituents. Passive SM
Using a blog or other tool
to disseminate
information you are
already creating; News,
PR, Events, etc. and
dispersing it via rss to
other media
20. The Benefits of Blogs
• Makes your site
attractive to search
engines
• Allows you to engage
your members with
information that goes
to them.
• Positions you as
authorities in your field
21. Blogs use RSS
Which means Using RSS (Really
Simple Syndication) you can make
your information subscribe-able,
share-able and tap-able by other
social media tools.
23. Facebook is another way to
reach out to your members.
Create constant
opportunities for discussion.
You can tie your news
videos and events to your
Facebook “like” page
Create promotions and fun
reasons to be “liked”
25. Use YouTube to share
videos with
constituents. Allow
constituents to
comment on videos.
Have your website &
SM tools feature
automatic feeds of the
videos.
The Same goes for
Images ie: Flickr, Yfrog,
etc (our site)
27. You can create Groups
in LinkedIn and invite
your members to be a
part of it, which means
your logo on their
LinkedIn Pages. Once
you have a membership
group we can reach out
to the members with
communications.
30. e-Newsletters & Surveys
• Keeps you in regular contact with membership.
• Permission – people have requested information so
communication is targeted rather than scattershot.
• Even if your open rate is low – they are still getting a
message.
• Create membership buy-in with surveys of
membership on programs, services, etc
• They’re inexpensive – and drive people to your
website.
• Not a replacement for hard newsletter
32. Twitter is a way
to keep in regular
contact with your
members and we
can automate it
using the blog.
