Announcing Acquia Journey: Orchestrate the Best Customer Experience

Acquia is proud to announce the release of Acquia Journey, a journey orchestration solution that enables your brand to plan, orchestrate, react to and trigger real-time customer experiences. Acquia Journey enables brands to map out ideal customer journeys and connect disparate marketing technology serving different journey touchpoints. Plus, it unifies all sources of your customer data to create a centralized profile that helps overcome one of the most painful marketing challenges: truly understanding your customers so you can effectively serve their wants and needs.

Consumers expect highly engaging, personalized experiences when they interact with a brand -- every brand, your brand. Long gone is the one-size-fits-all website or email campaign. Today, the right information, offer or ad must be delivered, at the precise moment, via any number of channels: website, mobile app, commerce site, email, SMS, social networks (like Twitter and Facebook), even in-store and customer service channels.

Welcome to the customer journey, where customers weave their way over time, across multiple touch points, on a path of their own making. They take actions and steps that, in a perfect world, align with your goals: a conversion, purchase, download, or visit to your store that converts or maintains them as a satisfied and loyal customer. You know customers want to be understood. They want you to know who they are, and expect you to use that knowledge wisely when they visit your digital or traditional channels. But in the pursuit of large-scale omnichannel personalization, organizations have introduced serious complexity. They’ve invested in many different, disconnected marketing and ad technologies meant to drive online and offline experiences. Yet, personalization across all or even parts of the journey has been elusive due to customer data being fragmented across different systems and channels.

It’s time to put the customer first and finally meet their expectations at each step. This is difficult but mandatory to meet the aspirations of your customers, satisfy their demands, grow sales, and build brand loyalty. Brands need to catch customers in the moment to deliver the best-next action at a precise time and on the right channel. But the customer journey isn’t one campaign. It requires a more informed approach.

Most organizations are asking, how can we better know our customers and make managing this journey easier? The challenge is in the execution, using journey orchestration to make delivering impactful, personalized experiences possible at every touchpoint.
