Migrating to a new marketing automation platform (MAP) is like moving into a new house. You have to itemize everything that’s moving with you, pack up all your data, and say goodbye to the way it was before. Forever. And it doesn’t end after you’ve shifted - you’re going to have to spend some time living out of boxes, gradually unpacking, and realizing you’d like to organize things a little differently as you go.
That having been said, most marketers consider platform migration a big headache.
Everybody in marketing is chasing today’s consumers as they hop from channel to channel on their digitally empowered customer journeys. Some marketers are more successful than others. Brands with integrated omnichannel touchpoints can let customers start researching a product on their laptop, receive related advertising on social, ask questions on chat, make the purchase on their phone, and pick up the product at their nearest store.
Retailers who can identify their customers and deliver hyperpersonalized engagement on any channel are the ones thriving in this new age of retail. As the old model of inventory-led retail becomes obsolete, forward-thinking marketers deliver a new generation of shopping experiences with a common focus: the individual consumer.
In our Personalization Handbook for Retail Marketers, we’ll provide a toolset of proven strategies and technologies to help marketers leverage personalization for longterm wins such as increased customer loyalty, spending frequency and lifetime value. Starting things off, we’ll discuss why hyper-personalization is the only constant in today’s rapidly changing retail landscape.

The solution lies in a new customer insights paradigm: the next best experience (nBX). customer insights (ci) pros need to reevaluate their current analytics practices and embrace the nBX model to become truly customer obsessed.
What do Cristiano Ronaldo and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson have in common – besides outrageous abs that is?! They are both bona fide superstars. They both made Forbes’ top 10 highest paid celebrities list for 2018, have millions of followers on social media, and are known the world over.
Here’s the reality for retail marketers today: personalization is no longer an option. It’s the key to keeping your customers engaged – and spending. Brands that get it right stand to gain a lot. Those who don’t, lose. Consider some of the major retailers that have failed in recent years.
Right now, consumers are driving two seemingly opposing trends: Accenture calls the first trend ‘From Me to We.’ As people grasp the importance of sustainable living, they are shifting from a purely selfish focus (give me what I want) towards actively pushing brands to become more responsible for their global footprint and the health of our planet (support the ideals we believe in).1
Every company markets to consumers differently. From call centers to emails to apps and aggregator sites, orchestrating a relationship marketing strategy requires a bespoke collection of marketing technologies. Marketers have the budgets to spend on CRM, email, mobile and data management, but fitting these capabilities together and ensuring they work with legacy business systems is not easy.

A fundamental people-process-technology transformation enables businesses to remain
competitive in today’s innovation economy. Initiatives such as advanced security, fraud detection
services, connected consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices, augmented or virtual reality
experience, machine and deep learning, and cognitively enabled applications drive superior
business outcomes such as predictive marketing and maintenance.
Superior business outcomes require businesses to consider IT a core competency. For IT, an
agile, elastic, and scalable IT infrastructure forms the crucial underpinning for a superior service
delivery model. The more up to date the infrastructure, the more capable it is of supporting the
scale and complexity of a changing application landscape. Current-generation applications must
be supplemented and eventually supplanted with next-generation (also known as cloud-native)
applications — each with very different infrastructure requirements. Keeping infrastructure up
