The Martech Architecture of Tomorrow
Enterprise MarTech
April 11, 2023
We are at the very beginning of an exponential change coming to our industry, and no matter your MarTech maturity level, what we will face next is not something we can manage only with tools or frameworks built one or two decades ago and probably not even five years ago for that matter.

The Value in MarTech
Enterprise MarTech
March 26, 2023
All technology investments in any company must be justified and throw a positive balance after implementation and operationalization. However, looking at the ROI purely from the increased revenue standpoint could be a misconception similar to the disconnect between the utilization metric and value.

How to use CX-led architecture to transform your business
martech.org
September 09, 2019
We’ve evolved from “marketing to customers” to ”being customer-centric” to the “customer experience (CX).”
Today’s CX terminology reflects the fact that we now recognize it’s no good to simply sell to customers or consider them after the organization has a fairly firm plan in place. The whole concept has been flipped on its head, now starting with the customer and their world from the get-go and every aspect of their journey thereafter, in both the online and physical world.
It’s now about how we use technology as a means to enhance every step, from end to end.

CX-Led Architecture Framework 2.0
Enterprise MarTech
April 10, 2023
The idea behind CX-Led Architecture is to create and visualize the state of all elements and interactions that power Customer Experience in an organization. Construct this visualization gradually and in line with the organization's view of its value proposition and values.
When we refer to an outside-in approach, it's about taking the customers' viewpoint to start designing and building the architecture. Creating or mapping customer journeys or experience flows is a critical activity.
Other elements such as business process analysis, technical architectures, platform analysis, organizational structure and team structure are architecture components that require documentation.
The resulting artefacts should describe how the system's design is responsive to the customers' needs in an outside-in motion.
In this book you will read about:
Digital Transformation: Enterprise-scale change
Customers as the center of business needs
The link between Customer & Technology
CX-Led Architecture: Design to connect

Dude, where's my ROI? Finance sets blowtorch on martech, dumpstacks incoming
Mi3
June 12, 2023
"Of course we can get rid of ZoomInfo. Okay, get rid of Asana." Marketing teams are buying more marketing technology than ever but using even less of it, according to a study by tech industry analysts Gartner who warn pressure is growing to rationalise the martech stack as the focus of board and executive leadership flips from growth to profitability. Those who have been through it already say CFOs can be literal and pedantic (and unrealistic) but the beginning of a widespread techstack dump has started. There's is an upside though: a well managed rationalisation can save hundreds of thousands of dollars (and likely millions at larger organisations) and still deliver better business outcomes.

Marketing Live Conference

The Future of MarTech: Architecting for Customer Engagement
Momentous change is upon us, and no matter your MarTech maturity level, what we face next is not something we can't manage only with tools and frameworks built in the past.
With access to vast amounts of content, digital assets, customer data, analytics, and all the specialized technology platforms that underpin them, most enterprise businesses are still figuring out how to understand and manage customer engagement at scale.
In this session, Henry will discuss what’s next in the current state of Enterprise MarTech and talk about an engagement-led approach to MarTech architecture to drive change under an evolutionary philosophy.
In this session you will learn about:
- The concept of the Information Fabric of Customer Engagement
- The capabilities required to future-proof your architecture
- How to assess your maturity level
- How to evolve your current architecture
- How to scale your approach
- The main components of the MarTech of Tomorrow
