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, technical
and overwhelming 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 customer’s marketing team to run SFMC without learning SQL
  • Provide a solution to customers that is simple, and quick to implement; and easy to learn
  • Ensure fast time to value to enable their customers to get campaigns out the door rapidly

Results

  • Avg. 40% increase in efficiency in Marketing Cloud with marketers (customers) cutting out time 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.
We believe in the product; my team certainly does. We wouldn't partner with someone if we didn't believe it. One of our values is trust and honesty. We will only say what we think is right to customers. To be honest, everybody loves DESelect. So it was quite an easy one to go for.

    playing the tables, then doing the sequel, looking at the results, going back and doing it again to get
    more results or changing it slightly.
