Sharing Experience® - Beyond Mass
Marketing
a whitepaper by Max J. Pucher, Chief Architect
ISIS Papyrus
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
This document contains a positioning of the
ISIS Papyrus Platform as a global business
information platform for large enterprises,
providing a new interactive approach
to optimize all customer service processes
including marketing management.
Marketing management software, case management
and imbedded CRM promises to reduce costs,
boost productivity and grow revenue. But
businesses need to
draw from their own unique business strengths. Once all businesses
have implemented the same (best-of-breed)
marketing software by the same best practices
they become tied down by the same unchangeable
processes. All marketers in all businesses
will identify and act on the
same customer
insights, run the
same campaigns, use the
same lead management, event triggers and
campaign concepts, perform the
same analytics,
detect the same hard-coded behavior patterns
and will thus have absolutely no
competitive benefit from using standard software. That
caused Nicholas G. Carr to propose in ‘Does
IT matter?’ that Information Technology
no longer represents a competitive advantage.
But what is the alternative?
Business executives and managers need
to ensure that an opaque business-to-prospects
situation can be converted into a unique
employee-to-customer service relationship
with long-term customer loyalty. After
all, existing customers are the most valuable
prospects! A customer-focused business
does not need marketing management software
with isolated marketing processes from
the rest of the business. A truly customer-centric
business enables collaboration at any point
and at any time in the business process
landscape.
