Educating B2B Customers through ABM

November 29, 2017

Just as the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has opened the door to newer and ever-more creative forms of building automation for consumers, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has developed an interconnected world of equipment and components not only within manufacturing facilities but between facilities across the globe. The consulting group Accenture estimates IIoT could add $14.2 trillion to the global economy by 2030, and the value that its powerful analytic capabilities are bringing to manufacturers are unprecedented. IIoT technologies take Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems long the standard bearer in plant monitoring and control to a whole new level. IIoT-connected systems can collect and process vast amounts of data at record speeds, transcending the limitations of geography. While IIoT is at the cutting edge of collecting, storing, and analyzing data over long periods of time, SCADA is still preferred for day-to-day plant maintenance and operations. Though the two systems utilize relatively similar concepts collecting and responding to data collected from connected equipment SCADA systems typically have high overhead costs associated with connecting new assets, requiring plant managers to weigh the value of critical data against the cost to acquire it.

The Modern Marketer’s Guide to ABM

The Marketer’s Roadmap To Mature Omnichannel Account-Based Experiences

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

Responsive buyer experiences and relevant content across channels have always been the top criteria for mature, highperforming, omnichannel account-based orchestrations. But much of today’s conversation revolves around linear, top-down campaigns, where the target account is placed in a marketing or sales play, operating within a siloed platform throughout the buyer’s journey. The result is often antithetical to the desired buyer “experience.” Operating without the necessary data management, intent, prediction, and consistent personalization, these platforms cannot deliver high-performing orchestration simply by slapping a new name on the same old ABM technology. In a rush to accelerate the delivery of “account-based experiences” (ABX), the platforms that support it have become a critical bottleneck, creating yet another siloed system that adds to the complexity and undermines the outcomes it is intended to improve.

A competitive analysis has become essential to developing and identifying a winning strategy for growth and success—essential when, on average, a business can have 25 direct competitors. In the traditional sense, this would equate to an analysis of competitors, their products, and their messaging.

Effective competitive displacement and competitive analysis need to be customer-centric above all else.
