SEATTLE, WA — (Marketwired) — 09/18/13 — , the leading provider of recurring revenue management solutions, today introduced , a powerful customer engagement orchestration solution for recurring revenue businesses to lower the cost of revenue retention and growth. Leveraging for data integration and for predictive analytics, Scout Playbooks orchestrates workflows and automation across sales, customer success, marketing, product management, and finance teams. By triggering the right engagement with the right customer at the right time, the solution enables businesses to significantly increase customer retention and revenue. Additionally, Scout Playbooks personalizes customer engagement at every level of the relationship, tailoring engagement to the unique needs of each buyer, stakeholder, and end-user.
“In the age of the customer, the only sustainable competitive advantage you can have is the degree to which you know and engage with your individual customers. Traditional approaches are insufficient because they don-t deliver what today-s customer expects — engagement — and lack granular and contextual customer data,” said Mike Gualtieri and Noel Yuhanna, principal analysts at Forrester Research, Inc., in the March 2013 Wall Street Journal article, . “The key to success is implementing a multidimensional view that helps individualize and contextualize customer experiences, deliver new customer insights, and create new opportunities for businesses to deliver differentiated experiences.”
Unlike business intelligence and analytics solutions that provide generic analysis and reporting, Scout Playbooks provides customer engagement orchestration that uses business rules to trigger workflows and automations across multiple systems, and then monitors for resolution. Business users can quickly define and deploy orchestrated customer engagement processes at the subscription, stakeholder or end-user level to retain and grow customer relationships and revenue. Features include:
: A visual editor to quickly define triggers, automations, workflow, and resolution criteria that allow business users to improve the scale and efficiency of their customer engagement processes.
: Improves the quality of customer processes by matching customer engagement to individual customer needs to improve resource allocations and efforts.
: Tracks the resolution of each play within each playbook to identify which are effective and which are not enabling continuous process improvement.
: Console that allows for quick deployment or suspension of automated processes, allowing for rapid responses to customer needs.
: Off-the-shelf automations to third-party systems like Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, or Marketo, eliminating the need for custom integrations and accelerating time-to-deployment.
