Acoustic Analytics (formerly IBM Watson Customer Experience Analytics)
- As mentioned earlier, transactional heavy web assets such as eStores are particularly strong candidates.
- IBM CXA along with other, similar tools, is not set-and-forget. The solution must be well managed in order to deliver value. Purchase of the solution is one thing; driving analytic results is another. If a company's staff are not strong analytical thinkers, CXA will not help. IBM CXA is not just a technology platform - it is a basis to design strong customer touchpoints and interactions. You need to be customer journey design literate to get the best from this.

The scenarios where a tag management solution is appropriate are:
- Your marketing team needs to move faster on actionable data than your IT team can deploy tags.
- You want to give your marketing team the power and responsibility of managing and deploying analytics tags.
- Vendor tags are interfering with site performance or uptime and you wish to have an easy "off" switch.

- Tealium iQ can be an intimidating solution to understand and use. So, it is highly valuable to have walkthroughs and setup wizards that reduce that barrier of entry to the solution.
- Communicating out the latest changes and ways to leverage them is a constant challenge for Tealium given the rapid release of features. Making sure this messaging is clear by leveraging a mobile Tealium Customer Application like that used for Digital Velocity to communicate out the latest and greatest changes may be an opportunity.

Tealium is very straight forward and transparent in its tool interface. It does a good job of providing information and resources around every function of the tool. This allows a user to be comforted knowing there is a wealth of information surrounding any specific action in the tool for a user to rely on

Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.

Tealium is the only tag management system I've personally used, but it's way better than our websites' former tagging systems (autotagging or WebTrends) because it gives us the flexibility to rename key/value pairs so our data is intuitive and easily understandable for an end user.

Return on Investment
Acoustic Analytics (formerly IBM Watson Customer Experience Analytics)
- The ROI question needs to be focused on clients and not our use internally. We leverage this as a platform for designing customer journeys for our clients.
- The ROI case is far easier to make for eCommerce operators. Customer journey failings can be easily quantified and seemingly simple issues can generate large ROI outcomes. For web assets without a trading bias, ROI can be established using notional value attribution. For example, a lead for motor insurance that is lost can be costed based on average policy value over a typical lifetime; struggle on a customer self-service portal can be quantified on the cost of handling through a call centre; etc.

- We haven't recognized all of the benefits yet, since we're still working on implementation, but our last set of tags deployed (Quantcast, Criteo) were quite painful to implement. Once we get our Tealium data layer properly implemented, we're looking forward to the day where we can deploy a new tag for a display vendor with a few clicks.
- Just having a paid option is a nice improvement over Google's free product, which means support is non-existent. Our business is at the point where paying for support is preferable to free product.
