A tech strategy aligned to the business

The strategic objective has always been to generate new revenue streams by defining the way the company can leverage the tens of thousands of B2B relationships it enjoys with its customers. At redk, we developed an understanding of the underlying business objectives and worked at different levels of engagement in order to review and analyse how the new strategies could be materialised into organisational design, as well as capabilities to be delivered through CRM technology. In addition, the creation of a CRM governance committee added the continuity, drive and momentum the project needed to make sure it delivered and achieved its goals.

Modern problems require modern solutions

There are various elements that have helped this project come to success. Predominantly the core element has been the ability to bring together multidisciplinary teams that worked on overcoming challenges, the ability of both teams to work towards a common goal and get through the difficult times, by using methodology to find structure, by relying on experience-based best practices, by following expert advice and by ensuring that the technology was aligned with he overarching business goals.

How we did it, together

redk worked closely with the leadership team at Acuris, stakeholders and the technical team to deliver major changes on the CRM digital framework.

This changes include:

  • A redesign of the model, including data, required to support the creation of a 360º view of the customer. This included the consolidation of many CRM instances and the decommissioning of redundant Salesforce implementations in order to streamline business operations through one single CRM
  • The implementation of the functional model and the operational design required to help improve efficiency and increase effectiveness in the different BAU roles
  • The delivery of all integrations with other company systems and applications in order to fulfil the long-term SOA strategy (CMS, publishing platform, identity management systems, SSO, Security, finance applications, etc)
  • The data quality, consolidation and migration jobs required to consolidate one single source of accurate reliable data
  • The delivery of the full CRM technology stack that support business operations for customer acquisition and retention (sales and account management), including the multi-region private cloud
  • Supporting the internal team at Acuris to roll out the user adoption program to teams across many global locations and ensure effective implementation
