About The Customer
ServiceMax is the only complete field service software solution helping companies of all sizes manage contracts, scheduling, and parts, while also providing solutions for social, portals, and analytics — all delivered in the cloud to any mobile device. The company serves a wide and diverse client and prospect base, ranging from small businesses to large enterprises. With a small marketing team, ServiceMax needed to find efficient ways to manage and personalize their web experience to cater to their varied audience. Their goal was to enhance user engagement and increase conversions through a more personalized approach.
The Challenge
The ServiceMax marketing team was faced with the challenge of providing a more tailored and personalized web experience for its visitors, while increasing form submissions. They aimed to decrease bounce rates and increase time on site for a specific group of targeted accounts. ServiceMax serves a wide and diverse client and prospect base, and with a small marketing team there just wasn’t enough bandwidth to manually create all the necessary personalization rules. ServiceMax needed to ensure it had enough reliable data to determine what content was relevant to specific visitors to drive engagement and ultimately conversions on their website.
The Solution
ServiceMax first implemented the Demandbase Forms solution that shortened the number of fields per form while still collecting critical firmographic data on the backend. By doing this, the company was able to capture key information from site visitors such as annual revenue, number of employees and company name and push it directly into their marketing automation system without asking the visitor for this data. Next, ServiceMax implemented Demandbase Site Optimization, powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Site Optimization allowed ServiceMax to go beyond the handful of personalization rules they already had in place to automatically recommend relevant content to each and every site visitor based on AI-powered insights. To measure against their goals, ServiceMax also leveraged Demandbase Analytics. With Analytics, they could understand traffic trends, bounce rates, conversion rates and other critical website metrics by account – even for anonymous visitors – based on IP address.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
