Any AR professional will find value in this tool - from interaction tracking through integration with g-suite or outlook, managing an analyst day or analyst event or collecting and delivering insights from analyst reports. The project capabilities are getting better, but if you do not use vendors like Click-Up to project manage, then it's better than a spreadsheet.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ARchitect to log, track and report interactions, discover and segment analysts audiences, build target lists, build coverage report, keep track of tasks and communicate with analysts via newsletters.

ARInsights is really well suited for small teams. It is a significant investment for a single contributor but easily repaid in productivity. It also does work great when AR is outsourced to agencies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used ARInsights ARchitect to support both analyst relations and influencer relations programs. The users are in the AR or Influencer Relations team. It is used to support and effectively run outreach campaigns. The software is effectively the foundation on which the programs are run on and the scope of the programs is global in nature.

It's great if you have a simple analyst program and you are not sure where to start. It's the perfect tool to get a set of tiered lists with key details up and running. You are able to track/map and measure activity really well so it's almost a no-brainer for an AR professional.

<p>Informatica uses ARchitect in a variety of ways to get time back in our busy days. Monthly reports which used to take four to five hours to generate, are now cranked out in 15 minutes after implementing Architect. ARchitect's ability to create custom fields for interactions means Informatica can track interactions easily by product, region, and analyst. </p><p>Informatica also makes regular use of ARchitect's feature to create custom analyst groups for our sprawling portfolio. </p><p>Informatica's products lend themselves to easy cross-sell and upsell, so being able to provide updates is made easy with ARchitect.</p>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ARchitect to keep track of all interactions and to find new analysts. This information is then conveniently exported in a pie chart or via graph for our organization's quarterly business reviews.

The combination of graphically representing my program via firms, product segments being represented, and their customer support makes this solution a must-have.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a geographically dispersed AR team. Since members of our team brief analysts from the same firm at different times, it's critical that we keep records of what was presented, the analysts' perception and follow-up items associated with that interaction. We also use ARchitect to prepare reports summarizing analyst perception and comments for business unit leaders.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very handy for keeping a corporate repository and history of conversations, presentations and analyst observations. We are a global company with five AR practitioners so we need to have a single platform to maintain this history. I also like the reporting feature which is very useful in generating a consolidated view, by topic, of interactions and perceptions. The Briefing Books are a great tool as an executive background document. We haven't used the AR Event Planning feature so I can't comment on this. I also like the recent Influencer Score feature...

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ARinsights ARchitect is used by the analyst relations department primarily, although at times, we have opened it up to the PR team, for use with event planning.

A must have for a one-person analyst relations staff

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ARchitect is being used by the Dell Analyst Relations team. We use it to track interactions with the analyst community across the globe. We have a global AR team and it incredibly useful to know and understand what interactions we are all having with the analysts, especially the analysts we share across areas of responsibility.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have an AR program across the globe and want to track all interactions you have with them, this tool is right for you. As you can imagine the tool is only as good as the data you put in, so you do have to make it part of your work day to input the data. Say a team member leaves and you have to jump in to cover for them, you are able to see all the interactions they have had with analysts.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ARchitect is used by the Global Analyst Relations program at Capgemini. We are an eight-member team distributed across three continents. We use ARchitect in the following ways:

1. Manage interactions (briefings, meetings, events) with analysts

2. Manage projects (major research reviews) with analysts

3. Knowledge/content management (tracking coverage of Capgemini by analysts)

4. Reporting back to the business (activity and coverage reports)

Content is accessible to everyone on the global team allowing for transparency in activities. We can also report back to the business on our activities with the click of a button.

ARchitect is now the core of our AR program. We leverage it for every aspect of our program -- interactions, projects and knowledge/content management. With a distributed team of 8 working on 3 continents, ARchitect helps keep us on the same page. We can run reports against all aspects of our program. NOTE: ARchitect is dependent on users entering their data. What comes out is only as good as what goes in. We established KPIs to ensure that team members are motivated to enter their activities into ARchitect.
