Customer Insights – Data

Bring Customer Data Together. Make It Useful Across the Business⁠.

Connect fragmented customer records into unified profiles, segments and insights. We implement Customer Insights – Data so marketing, sales and service can work from a more consistent customer view.

Build Customer Context from the Data You Already Have.

Start with reliable sources and identity rules, then add the measures and audiences that support a real business decision.

Source Connections

Import customer information from supported sources and configure refreshes around business needs.

Profile Unification

Use matching and merge rules to bring records from different systems into unified customer profiles.

Customer Activities

Connect purchases, subscriptions and other activities to the profile for a clearer history.

Measures and Segments

Calculate customer measures and create audiences using profile attributes, activities and business criteria.

Profile Enrichment

Add supported enrichment data where it provides useful context and the required provider access is available.

Export and Activation

Make selected profiles and segments available to connected applications through supported exports and integrations.

Put AI to Work in Clearly Defined Tasks.

Choose a useful role for AI, then define the information, access and review needed for that role.

Customer Churn

Evaluate supported churn models against the required transaction or subscription history. Use the score as a signal for a reviewed retention process.

Value and Product Recommendations

Use supported lifetime-value and recommendation models when the available data meets model requirements. Agree how the business will act on the results.

Dialog with Data

Explore customer data using natural-language questions in the documented Copilot preview. Check the underlying measures, audience definition and answer before using it.

Connect the Product to Modern Business Experiences.

Combine the agreed product configuration with the systems and development that make the complete experience work.

Start with One Useful Process. Build from an Agreed Foundation.

Agree the business outcome, prepare the foundation and validate the complete experience before expanding it.

Agree the Outcome

Choose the first process, its owner, completion criteria and baseline measures.

Prepare the Foundation

Identity rules, source history, refresh frequency, consent ownership and prediction prerequisites determine the implementation scope.

Build and Connect

Configure or develop the agreed experience, permissions and system handovers.

Test and Launch

Check realistic data, permissions, exceptions and confirmed outcomes. Prepare the team for a controlled launch.

Measure and Improve

Review source-confirmed results, operational issues and adoption before extending the next use case.

Understand the Offering. Plan the Right Scope.

The starting point depends on the process and the systems you already use.

How is Data different from Journeys?

Data unifies records and creates customer insights. Journeys coordinates communications and follow-up. They can work together, but source quality, identity resolution and activation should be scoped as separate responsibilities.

Which AI capabilities should be included first?

Start with a specific task and the evidence needed to evaluate it. We check current feature status, environment prerequisites, data quality, permissions and cost. Preview capabilities are assessed separately from the agreed production scope.

Are these use cases included as standard?

The examples describe configured or custom solutions. The feature cards explain the product or delivery foundation; each use case and process identifies the connections, development and related services it needs.

What do we need to define before starting?

Identity rules, source history, refresh frequency, consent ownership and prediction prerequisites determine the implementation scope. We also agree ownership, acceptance criteria, operating responsibility and the first measurable outcome.
