How Capgemini helps their customers streamline segmentation in Marketing Cloud

THE CHALLENGE

What Capgemini needs for their customers

Many organizations come to Capgemini seeking their expertise in the Salesforce ecosystem. For the customers with Marketing Cloud, many find the platform to be a challenging and overly technical platform without the right approach. Often times their customers invest a significant amount into Marketing Cloud and discover they don’t have the right skills or staff to properly support it – especially when it comes to SQL.

Goals

  • Give power back to their customers' marketing teams to run SFMC without learning SQL
  • Provide a solution to customers that is simple, quick to implement, and easy to learn
  • Ensure fast time to value to enable their customers to rapidly get campaigns out the door

Results

  • Avg. 40% increase in efficiency in Marketing Cloud with marketers (customers) repurposing time otherwise lost writing SQL.
  • DESelect’s product is accessible and simple to learn for any marketer, regardless of previous experience or skill level
  • Rapid iteration cycles. Capgemini’s customers can build segments quickly, check the quality, and easily revise as needed.

My team believes in the product. We wouldn't partner with someone if we didn't believe in the value they brought our customers. One of our values is trust and honesty. We will only say what we think is right to customers.
So it is quite an easy decision to recommend DESelect.

Q&A with Corrina Jacobs from Capgemini

  • What customer impact have you seen since partnering with DESelect?

    The speed of being able to use the product, and getting the results, is the best thing about DESelect. Anyone in my team can use it no matter what level of technical skill they have.

  • What has surprised you the most about DESelect?

    The most impressive thing about DESelect is its speed. Our teams are able to quickly build data extensions and create audiences to get campaigns out the door quickly.

  • What new efficiencies have you seen your customers benefit from with DESelect?

    I would say probably 40% of their time is saved compared to writing SQL. From beginning to end – thinking about the segmentation, the types of people they want, and the tables that they had from manipulating data extensions, then doing the SQL, looking at the results, troubleshooting, and doing it again to get the correct results.

    With DESelect almost half of that process is automated.
