Siloed Systems; Isolated Connections POS & Inventory Systems Identity Data BI Systems Marketers make ad-hoc BI requests, subject to analyst bandwidth. Direct Mail & Email Data is collected and stored, but identities are not resolved into a cleansed, de-duped system of record. Segments are pulled for outbound marketing on request; not real-time. Digital Ad Campaigns CRM Website Digital campaigns are limited to anonymous third party data; isolated for this use case. Call Center Website activity is isolated to the web. E-commerce Systems Customer service, call center, and other systems of customer interaction are isolated; information isn’t shared with other tools. Web Personalization
