The Answer Is Integration of Best of Breed Technologies
Key Points:
It will be an integration--not a suite—story
Tools to support contextual experiences will
gain traction
Tools must create business value out of data
Marketing and line of business will demand
capabilities, not just technology

– Mbox targeting
– Omni-Channel Personalization/Optimization

Quickly reconfigure Site Catalyst
Request from SVP to start tracking as soon as possible the Facebook Like button clicks,
which has never been tracked before
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Requirements documentation passes
several times from business to IT
• Prioritized in to a monthly release,
launching 30+ days from need
• Data takes a month to arrive and is no
longer relevant.
• Ability to immediately add/modify Site
Catalyst setup without the need for a
release
• Test out new reporting requirements
easily before committing to new
dashboards, etc
• Get immediate access to new reporting
needs, increasing the actionability of your
Site Catalyst investment

– Data Layer integration

Migration/Addition of new Analytics platform
There is a need to migrate from an existing analytics platform in Ensighten to Site Catalyst.
Requirements gathering is done, now it’s time to implement.
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Technical requirements and
documentation can typically take weeks
• Technical implementation can takes
months; upwards of years for larger
enterprises
• Inconsistent data definitions between the
two analytics platforms
• Typically no technical documentation
needed – that work has already been
done in the App
• Implementation time reduced 80-90%
• No source code of the page needs to be
touched – everything done through
Ensighten
• Data accuracy and ability to re-explore
business requirements for additional
features
48. confidential 48confidential 48
Migration/Addition of new Analytics platform
Data Layer foundation
– Define once, use for every tag – data, page events, etc.
– Majority of the heavy lifting for any analytics implementation
49. confidential 49confidential 49
Migration/Addition of new Analytics platform
Fully supported suite of Apps
– No preferred or un-supported technologies – open platform
– Custom apps built in partnership with analytics technologies by
technical industry leaders

Moving Analytics to the top of the page
Data quality is in question – sessions don’t match the server logs, pathing analysis seems
broken, etc – the business is tasked with finding a solution
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Very significant development effort to
move analytics from the bottom to the
top of the page
• Tag timing configuration comes out of the
box with every tag deployed
• Asynchronous loading of analytics files
ensures minimal impact to page load
15%
of page views on average
do not reach the analytics
tagging at the bottom of
the page
Percentage is higher on landing pages
Low data quality between vendor and client
measurements
Impossible to optimize UX / Marketing / Advertising
efforts – understanding non-converting traffic is just
as important as converting traffic
52. confidential 52confidential 52
Deploying a new mBox
It’s in the middle of the giant spring sale, and Marketing wants to try out 3 different types
of messaging on the website through Adobe Target, which means a new mbox needs to be
placed on the site.
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Required release from IT to add, remove,
or modify existing mbox implementation
• Process could take days or months,
depending on release cycles
• Opportunity for testing may already be
passed by the time the mbox is put in to
place
• Point-and-click mbox deployments
• No altering of page code needed,
meaning that no IT release is necessary
• Launch a new mbox in a few clicks,
allowing for immediate testing and a
much more agile optimization team
54. confidential 54confidential 54
Mbox Targeting
For the promotion, we only want the mbox to fire to previous purchasers, which is only 5%
of our traffic.
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Audience targeting done on the Adobe
Target server side, after a request to
Adobe Target has been sent.
• Server calls cost money and decrease
page performance
• Testing often becomes dictated by mbox
budgets
• Integration with data layer – inclusive of
onsite, offsite, and offline data
• Selective firing of mboxes based on data
• Drastically reduced mbox usage: Cost
savings, more efficient testing
• Pass data elements to Adobe Target
• Auto-disable mboxes for poor
performance

Omni-Channel Cross Device Personalization/Optimization
For the Spring Sale, previous purchasers are touching the website from multiple channels
and devices – it’s important that they receive the same message
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Adobe Target out of the box targets based
on cookies, meaning that users can get
randomized between 3 different
experiences on 3 different devices
• Confusing at best, and often times
frustrating user experiences
• Cumbersome and inadequate integrations
• Real-time actionable cross-device user
profile
• Campaign consistency across devices and
channels – display, web, mobile app,
emails, etc
• Better user experience, leading to higher
overall ROI from optimization efforts

Data Democratization
After the Spring Sale was over, a 15% lift in RPV for experience A was reported – however,
this didn’t match internal reporting. The results were called in to question.
Without Ensighten With Ensighten
• Reporting available in Adobe Target out of
the box; Site Catalyst reporting available if
integration is in place
• Getting data out to additional systems is
challenging at best
• Last touch reporting
• Share campaign and experience data with
any analytics or reporting solution
available
• Open up data to internal BI and Data
Science resources to provide better
analysis and gain trust in results
• Remove last touch from the equation!

Editor's Notes
The Ensighten Agile Marketing Platform™ provides a solid foundation for omni-channel data collection, ownership and activation. With Ensighten AMP, organizations establish enterprise-level analytics programs, develop data governance and insights practices, and power agile marketing initiatives.
With Ensighten Manage™, an enterprise-level tag management system, analysts deploy and maintain base, page and event analytics on their own using intuitive tag deployment apps, without waiting on IT development cycles.
Analysts maintain tracking in precompiled environments like mobile apps using Ensighten Mobile™. The tracking library is compiled with the app once, enabling analysts to optimize and expand their tracking without recompiling the app and having to resubmit it to the store.
Data from offsite sources, such as display ad impressions, email opens, microsites visits, web services, and more, is collected via Ensighten Pulse™. The data is then passed into the analytics tag for custom reporting.
Finally, offline data from CRM, call centers, BI and similar sources is fetched into Ensighten One™. The data is then passed into the analytics tag.
