Adobe Journey Optimizer and Decision
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used AJO's decision features to perform real-time offer evaluation and eligibility calculations and serve the right offer to the customer. The use case focused on targeting customers in specific segments and presenting them with an offer suitable for them. The decision would be made based on the user's context, such as their affiliation with the specific sponsor/organization under which they have a policy with us, and their plans (products they are subscribed to). The decision module within AJO was used to arbitrate on the right offer to be delivered to the customer across pre-defined zones.
Pros
- API based response and ability to invoke the results need via API.
- Business friendly management of offer priority , the rule assignments.
- Data Collection from interactions and ability to utilize them without much latency.
Cons
- When a decision is being made, the amount of context data that can be passed to make the decision is constrained, especially when this context is derived at multiple levels.
- AJO could be helpful to have augmented the ability to call an external decision support component in real time while making a real time decision. Currently, some custom actions are supported, but when they depend on a 3rd party, performance will be 3rd-party-dependent, which is understandable. However, if there can be a caching layer or some lookup options available within AEP to stage these results from external systems while AJO is performing the decision, it can be very helpful to augment the features with an external data source.
- Limitation in sharing of IP address with other Adobe Products for email is a constraint. You cannot use AJO and Adobe Campaign or Marketo together to deliver from the same domains.
Return on Investment
- Improved customer experience, allowing you to more confidently target customers with greater precision.
- Ability to run multiple journeys at the same time based on targeted audiences, instead of blindly performing segmentation and targeting.
- The interface fonts and icons are sometimes small and may require drilling down to several levels to configure a journey flow. E.g., Applying the right filter when sending an email with the right matching key requires multiple clicks, driving deeper into different levels of schema attributes.
