This document discusses TomTom's implementation of Tealium's tag management system to improve its digital analytics capabilities. It describes TomTom's background with no dedicated analytics team and unstructured data collection. Tealium was implemented in 3 phases from basic tagging to more advanced uses, resulting in standardized tagging, improved data quality and governance, and greater flexibility. The presentation concludes with lessons learned around implementing Tealium gradually and using data and analytics experts to ensure benefits are realized.

How is the digital analytics organized
When I joined TomTom
No web analyst
When I joined TomTom there wasn’t a webanalyst for over 9 months.
Lot of processes were lost, nobody within tomtom was responsible for data collection
No KPI framework
Where are moving toward a KPI framework, great to see people talking about data.
No documentation
No ownership
No control
Personalization
Change in purpose data
Solid foundation
Flexible analytics
New product launches
Expanding
New tags, but also new products, new elements on the website, implementation of DoubleClick
More data driven
Create ownership
Data Quality
“get the data at an excellent data quality level”
Advanced reporting
“get relevant reporting, which will be actively u
Business adaptation
“Make sure that web analytics data is pro-active used within the TomTom community”
Lot of actions can be taken
Explain

3 phases implementation
Why is this cool?
Script only
allowed us to implement some Tags
Data layer + webanalytics
Allowed us to implement web analytics
Advanced
datalayer extended
Fast implementation of Tags, no longer the technical side is the limitation, but legal, delivering instructions are time consuming.
Eco system has to be upgraded to get good data quality
Applied a lot of fixes
Applied a lot of temporary fixes while “waiting” on IT has to change somethings
Removed 14 pixels
Having clear ownership
Purpose of the data
Personalization -> allowed us to get some fixes in to place
Keeps on changing
Interesting to mention that Data quailty shouldn’t be considered as a static thing, it is more a dynamic process
Monitoring + Alerting, technical performance
All impacting good data collection
As systems are plugging into the functionality of the datalayer and Tealium. It is and will become a challenge to have clear policy and ownership.
Expected is Perzonalisation and clientsided data to play an important role in this
Overlap in tools, growing, creating a solid foundation, that will us to be flexible.
Making sure that the data collection via Tealium place a central role
Data collection and old school marketing
Change of use of data
Data quality is not only about having good data coming in, it is also about having a sound ecosystem that collects data. Tealium plays an essential role in that.
Embedding involvement analytics
Kpi framework and Reporting (picking up)
Standardization and customization
Key is the datalayer
Having a good implementation is crucial so let an expert help you (data quality)
Its all about having a good data structure
Data layer
Documentation
Clear mapping
Easy naming convention
Flat or nested structure
Depends on type of website
Good implementation, let an expert help you
Temp fixes for fixes that will take time
Phase approach implementation
Make sure you have some governance on the data collection
Main tip , as we know it is hard to find a balance between short term solutions which in the long run will are hard to maintain.
Don’t ever tell a marketeer how flexible tealium really is.
Thank you, any questions, please do ask afterwards (pim.verhoog@tomtom.com)
