Domain Solution Architect in Information Technology at Sapient (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used AJO's decision features to perform real-time offer evaluation and eligibility calculations and serve the right offer to the customer. The use case focused on targeting customers in specific segments and presenting them with an offer suitable for them. The decision would be made based on the user's context, such as their affiliation with the specific sponsor/organization under which they have a policy with us, and their plans (products they are subscribed to). The decision module within AJO was used to arbitrate on the right offer to be delivered to the customer across pre-defined zones.

Pros

API based response and ability to invoke the results need via API.
Business friendly management of offer priority , the rule assignments.
Data Collection from interactions and ability to utilize them without much latency.

Cons

When a decision is being made, the amount of context data that can be passed to make the decision is constrained, especially when this context is derived at multiple levels.
AJO could be helpful to have augmented the ability to call an external decision support component in real time while making a real time decision. Currently, some custom actions are supported, but when they depend on a 3rd party, performance will be 3rd-party-dependent, which is understandable. However, if there can be a caching layer or some lookup options available within AEP to stage these results from external systems while AJO is performing the decision, it can be very helpful to augment the features with an external data source.
Limitation in sharing of IP address with other Adobe Products for email is a constraint. You cannot use AJO and Adobe Campaign or Marketo together to deliver from the same domains.

Return on Investment

Improved customer experience, allowing you to more confidently target customers with greater precision.
Ability to run multiple journeys at the same time based on targeted audiences, instead of blindly performing segmentation and targeting.
The interface fonts and icons are sometimes small and may require drilling down to several levels to configure a journey flow. E.g., Applying the right filter when sending an email with the right matching key requires multiple clicks, driving deeper into different levels of schema attributes.

Juliette Thompson

Marketing Specialist in Marketing at Tyler Technologies (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our campaign strategy tends to be fractured, and multiple rounds of reviews/approvals are delaying our content delivery. Using Adobe Journey Optimizer, my team can reduce friction across the entire campaign lifecycle, from conception to execution and post-campaign data reporting/analytics. Adobe Journey Optimizer is the liaison we needed to coordinate our efforts and consistently exceed our campaign goals. Adobe Journey Optimizer is a game-changer for our organization.

Pros

Identifying appropriate channels.
Drawing data from market research to shape decision-making.
Coordinating marketing tactics through multi-modal channels.

Cons

Intuitive UI design / Ease of accessibility for users with limited experience/subject knowledge.
Analytics integration is difficult to navigate.
My organization is having a difficult time adopting this platform across all divisions due to resistance to the new technology (accuracy, etc.).

Return on Investment

Improved conversion rates.
Increased efficiency of cross-collaboration processes.
Brand trust and lifetime dependability; our clients regularly return to us after engaging with personalized content.
