demand generation web use cases for personalization

Demand Generation Web Use Cases for Personalization

Utilize effective personalization techniques adopted by businesses in online campaigns to stimulate demand generation. The term “demand generation” has somewhat faded from the marketing lexicon due to the emphasis on analytics, AI, and metrics for lead conversion. However, where does personalization fit into the broader scope of demand generation? Demand generation web use cases for personalization. Personalization plays a pivotal role in various aspects of demand generation: In lead nurturing, personalization is equally vital: Moreover, personalization is instrumental in lead acquisition efforts by delivering relevant experiences to all of your prospects. To effectively implement personalization, real-time insights into individual behaviors and interactions are essential. A comprehensive personalization solution should unify data from various channels and systems, enabling seamless cross-channel personalization. This includes “stitching” together anonymous and known user profiles, integrating data with complementary systems like CRMs and marketing platforms, and facilitating real-time omni-channel personalization. The key to successful personalization lies in understanding and addressing each individual’s unique needs and preferences. By adopting a customer-centric approach and setting clear objectives aligned with business goals, organizations can leverage personalization to enhance customer experiences, boost conversion rates, and drive measurable business growth. To execute a successful personalization strategy, organizations must: By following these steps and continuously optimizing personalization efforts, organizations can build stronger customer relationships, drive business growth, and maximize marketing ROI. Website personalization serves as the starting point for many companies embarking on their personalization journey. This entails ensuring that returning visitors encounter pages tailored to their previous experiences or recent purchases. It can also involve presenting new customers with product recommendations based on their current browsing session. The return on this initial investment can be substantial, with many companies witnessing a significant increase in conversion rates, sometimes by as much as 50% or more. For instance, a site converting 2% of visitors might see that figure rise to 3%, a dream scenario for digital marketers. Moreover, this boost in conversion rates can have far-reaching effects across marketing programs, leading to a reduction in overall customer acquisition costs. Tectonic now offers Personalization Implementation Solutions. The next stage in personalization maturity involves integrating a customer’s web and email experiences. This seamless connection between two major channels for customer engagement brings organizations closer to achieving an omni-channel personalization experience. Timely and relevant follow-up messages after a customer’s website visit or purchase can deepen relationships and enhance lifetime value without significant additional marketing expenditure. Finally, the ultimate goal is to extend personalization across all channels, ensuring consistent and tailored experiences wherever customers interact with your brand. However, achieving this can be challenging due to fragmented customer data across multiple channels, teams, and systems. An effective personalization solution should consolidate and synthesize this cross-channel information by maintaining unified customer profiles and enabling real-time omni-channel personalization. Testing is a crucial aspect of successful personalization efforts, allowing organizations to optimize campaigns and maximize engagement, conversions, and revenue. A robust personalization solution should facilitate A/B testing, measuring lift over control, evaluating impacts against specific goals, and filtering results by segment. Effective website personalization lays the foundation for broader personalization efforts across channels. By seamlessly integrating web and email experiences and extending personalization to all touchpoints, organizations can deliver tailored experiences that drive engagement, loyalty, and ultimately, business growth.

Salesforce CRM for AI driven transformation

Salesforce CRM Crucial for Transformation Driven by AI

Salesforce recently commission Forrester to wrangle up the state of AI. Overwhelmingly a CRM tool was found to be crucial for transformation driven by artificial intelligence. 89% of those surveyed said AI strategy and capability are top of mind when selecting a CRM partner. Tectonic is pleased to share our thoughts on the crucial role of Salesforce CRM for AI driven transformation. As companies increasingly adopt AI across various technologies, CRM is emerging as a crucial foundation for business transformation driven by AI. The interactions with customers generate substantial volumes of unstructured data from emails, meeting transcripts, phone conversations, and more. AI has the capability to distill this data into key insights and actionable next steps, thereby streamlining employee workflows and enhancing customer interactions. Today’s CRM customers are eager to leverage AI-powered CRMs to personalize front office content, address inquiries, and summarize customer interactions. Customers are rapidly integrating AI across most CRM use cases. According to Forrester’s research: The success of integrating AI capabilities into CRM relies heavily on data readiness. AI-powered CRMs depend on high-quality, well-structured, and clean data for informed predictions, personalized recommendations, and automation of various tasks. Respondents recognize the criticality of data readiness, with 92% emphasizing the importance of a strong data strategy for AI success. However, despite this awareness, many respondents are rushing to implement AI before achieving data readiness, with only 34% having a formal data strategy integrated across the business. Not only is Salesforce CRM a great choice for your digital AI transformation. Salesforce Data Cloud assists in ingesting and unifying data, ensuring your data is ready. Are you aware of the Salesforce Data Cloud license offer? Data readiness practices are generally low, as indicated by respondents ranking their organization’s level of data readiness into three bands: A, B, and C. Twenty-seven percent have ad hoc data initiatives and lack a formal strategy (band A), 39% have a formal data strategy but it is not integrated across the business (band B), and only 34% have a formal strategy integrated across the business (band C). Data readiness is critical for AI-powered CRM, as incomplete or unreliable data may lead to inaccurate and incomplete AI models, risking adverse outcomes. Data remains a primary challenge in Customer Relationship Management, with respondents highlighting data quality issues, extensive reliance on manual processes to synthesize data, and a lack of internal data skills as their top challenges. It’s essential to address these challenges, especially when incorporating generative AI features into an organization’s CRM, as genAI specifically requires a significant amount of data for successful implementation. Tectonic is ready to help you assess your data, implement Salesforce CRM, and experience an AI driven transformation. Contact Tectonic today for a trusted Salesforce partner to assist with your AI driven transformation.

How Good is Our Data

How Good is Our Data?

Generative AI promises to significantly reshape how you manage your customer relationships, but it requires data that is accurate, updated, accessible, and complete. Why is this important? You may do something differently this quarter than you did last quarter, based on the latest data. But if your data is outdated or incorrect, that’s what the AI will use.  Generative AI focuses on creating new and original content, chat responses, designs, synthetic content or even deepfakes. It’s particularly valuable in creative fields and for novel problem-solving, as it can autonomously generate many types of new outputs. Generative Artificial Intelligence models often present inaccurate information as though it were correct. This is often caused by limited information in the system, biases in training data, and issues with the algorithm. These are commonly called ‘hallucinations‘ and they present a huge problem. When training your models for generative AI, you should first ensure high information excellence from top to bottom. To get your information house in order, remove duplicates, outliers, errors, and other things that can negatively affect how you make decisions. Then connect your data sources — marketing, sales, service, commerce – into a single record, updated in real time, so the AI can make the best recommendations.   McKinsey recently wrote, “Companies that have not yet found ways to harmonize and provide ready access to their information will be unable to unlock much of generative AI’s potentially transformative power.” Why is data important in generative AI? Aside from the cost factor, poor information quality can introduce unnecessary and harmful noise into the generative AI systems and models, leading to misleading answers, nonsensical output, or overall lower efficacy. What is high-quality data for AI? High-quality information is essential for AI systems to deliver meaningful results. Data quality possesses several key attributes: Accuracy: High-quality information is free from errors and inaccuracies. Inaccurate information can mislead AI models and produce unreliable outputs. Is AI 100 percent accurate? Because AI will still rely on your data for decision making and accuracy depends on the quality of your information. AI machines must be well-programmed to make sure the machine is making decisions based on the correct, available information. Also, privacy and security of the data are paramount. AI machines need to access information that is encrypted and secure. Understand that Generative AI is most effective at creating new data based on existing patterns and examples, with a focus on text and image data. Generative AI is most suitable for generating new data based on existing patterns and examples. It doesn’t actually think for itself. Yet. Known Limitations Of Generative AI Large language models (LLMs) are prone to “hallucinations” – generating fictitious information, presented as factual or accurate. This can include citations, publications, biographical information, and other information commonly used in research and academic papers.

What Generative AI Terms Do I Need to Understand to Participate in AI Conversations?

You don’t need to be a software engineer, a data scientist, or a geek to understand gen AI or speak with authority about it with technical people. But business leaders should be able to think about AI holistically. Including benefits and risks, where it fits into the company’s culture, and mission. As well as what type of governance and infrastructure it requires.  What Generative AI Terms Do I Need to Understand to participate in the conversation? Business leaders can’t help lead AI programs to success if they can’t engage with the tech teams.    We’ve put together a list of the most essential AI terms that will help everyone in your company — no matter their technical background – understand the power of generative AI. Each term is defined based on how it impacts both your customers and your team, a crucial element in understanding the power of AI.  Gen AI technologies (and adoption) are growing extraordinarily fast.

AI Capability Maturity Model

AI Capability Maturity Model

The AI Capability Maturity Model (AI CMM), devised by the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence within the GSA IT Modernization Centers of Excellence (CoE), functions as a standardized framework for federal agencies to evaluate their organizational and operational maturity levels. It is equally useful for private organizations in aligning them with predefined objectives. Instead of imposing normative capability assessments, the AI CMM concentrates on illuminating significant milestones indicative of maturity levels along the AI journey. The AI Capability Maturity Model focuses primarily on the development of AI capabilities within an organization. It evaluates an organization’s maturity across four main areas: data, algorithms, technology, and people. Serving as a valuable tool, the AI CMM assists organizations in shaping their unique AI roadmap and investment strategy. The outcomes derived from AI CMM analysis empower decision-makers to identify investment areas that address immediate goals for rapid AI adoption while aligning with broader enterprise objectives in the long run. Maturity vs capability models A maturity model tends to measure activities, such as whether a certain tool or process has been implemented. In contrast, capability models are outcome-based, which means you need to use measurements of key outcomes to confirm that changes result in improvements. AI development rooted in sound software practices underpins much of the content discussed in this and other chapters. Though not explicitly delving into agile development methodology, Dev(Sec)Ops, or cloud and infrastructure strategies, these elements are fundamental to the successful development of AI solutions. The AI CMM elaborates on how a robust IT infrastructure leads to the most successful development of an organization’s AI practice. What are the maturity levels of AI? What are the maturity levels of Artificial Intelligence? Or it can be measured this way. AI Maturity Model Why is AI maturity important? The AI Maturity Assessment is a process designed to help organizations evaluate their current AI capabilities, identify gaps and areas for improvement, and develop a roadmap to build a more effective AI program. Organizational Maturity Areas Organizational maturity areas represent the capacity to embed AI capabilities across the organization. Two approaches, top-down and user-centric, offer distinct perspectives on organizational maturity. Top-Down, Organizational View Bottom-Up, User-centric View Operational Maturity Areas Operational maturity areas represent organizational functions impacting the implementation of AI capabilities. Each area is treated as a discrete capability for maturity evaluation, yet they generally depend on one another. PeopleOps CloudOps DevOps SecOps DataOps MLOps AIOps AI Capability Maturity Model This comprehensive overview of organizational and operational maturity areas underlines the multifaceted nature of AI implementation and the critical role played by diverse elements in ensuring success across different layers of an organization. How AI is transforming the world? AI-powered technologies such as natural language processing, image and audio recognition, and computer vision have revolutionized the way we interact with and consume media. With AI, we are able to process and analyze vast amounts of data quickly, making it easier to find and access the information we need.

Evaluating RAG With Needle in Haystack Test

Evaluating RAG With Needle in Haystack Test

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in Real-World Applications Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is at the core of many large language model (LLM) applications, from companies creating headlines to developers solving problems for small businesses. Evaluating RAG With Needle in Haystack Test. Evaluating RAG systems is critical for their development and deployment. Trust in AI cannot be achieved without proof AI can be trusted. One innovative approach to this trust evaluation is the “Needle in a Haystack” test, introduced by Greg Kamradt. This test assesses an LLM’s ability to identify and utilize specific information (the “needle”) embedded within a larger, complex body of text (the “haystack”). In RAG systems, context windows often teem with information. Large pieces of context from a vector database are combined with instructions, templating, and other elements in the prompt. The Needle in a Haystack test evaluates how well an LLM can pinpoint specific details within this clutter. Even if a RAG system retrieves relevant context, it is ineffective if it overlooks crucial specifics. Conducting the Needle in a Haystack Test Aparna Dhinakaran conducted this test multiple times across several major language models. Here’s an overview of her process and findings: Test Setup Key Findings Further Experiments We extended our tests to include additional models and configurations: Models Tested: Lars Wiik Similar Tests Included: Result Evaluating RAG With Needle in Haystack Test The Needle in a Haystack test effectively measures an LLM’s ability to retrieve specific information from dense contexts. Our key takeaways include: The test highlights the importance of tailored prompting and continuous evaluation in developing and deploying LLMs, especially when connected to private data. Small changes in prompt structure can lead to significant performance differences, underscoring the need for precise tuning and testing.
