Our customer solutions
Align marketing, sales, and customer service needs
The right experience makes the difference
Our customer solutions.With greater reliance today on systems and tools -- Internet sites, portals, CRM systems, email marketing campaigns, content management capabilities, and contact centers -- to cultivate and manage relationships, this attention to customer experience is more important than ever. West Monroe Partners can help, with a suite of customer solutions that includes: Virtually every organization can use Internet technologies to improve performance -- whether that means using an enterprise portal to manage intellectual capital, updating an Internet site to respond to evolving customer needs, or using a customized web application to streamline a key business process. Our full suite of Internet services focuses on improving underlying business processes and developing synergies that can benefit you across applications. Our solutions cover the gamut -- from design, to user experience, to knowledge management and portals, to custom development, to Internet marketing, to change management. Seeking a leg up in competitive markets, many organizations pursue customer relationship management (CRM) strategies as a means of “getting closer” to their customers. Customer relationship management is way of doing business centered on the principles of understanding customers and building profitable relationships. West Monroe Partners offers a full array of CRM solutions that can enhance sales force automation; marketing strategy, analytics, and resource management; and customer care. Customer experience is critical to competitiveness, yet most companies do not have a sound strategy for managing this valuable asset. With an approach grounded in insight, experience, and sound strategy, West Monroe Partners applies knowledge and expertise in all functional elements of customer strategy—from contact centers, to customer relationship management, to enterprise content management, to the Internet—to help you create a winning customer experience. Facing intense financial pressures, many organizations have shifted vital service functions to contact centers -- forcing the real need to balance service quality and cost. As a result, organizations have invested heavily in call-center technology, but without careful planning or an understanding of how call centers can serve as a profit center. Not suprisingly, the results have been mixed, forcing many to take a fresh look at their strategies. Your organization’s intellectual capital is at the heart of your ability to deliver value to employees, customers, and other stakeholders. But the value it produces depends a lot on how you organize and present information. West Monroe Partners has years of experience helping companies of all sizes gather, process, and use information for competitive advantage. Our solutions include enterprise content management planning, portals and collaboration, web content management, document and records management, digital asset management, and Intranet and knowledge management. Geospatial solutions capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display geographically referenced data in a visual format to aid decision making. Long used primarily by government agencies, geospatial information systems and data offer powerful and practical benefits that help organizations of all types address key marketing, operational, compliance, and other needs. West Monroe Partners has extensive experience applying geospatial solutions to achieve a wide range of goals. Our solutions include web mapping, market analyses, business intelligence, and logistics and supply chain analyses. Align marketing, sales, and customer service needs.Perhaps you are designing a new Internet site to reflect your enhanced product line. Considering a new CRM system to better plan and manage contacts. Beginning an electronic marketing campaign to expand relationships with existing customers. Or providing back-end automation to support your sales team. Projects such as these can have their challenges. Different stakeholders -- IT, sales, marketing, customer service, or distribution -- may have different needs or objectives, making it difficult to achieve consensus on a solution. And often, these types of projects are implemented in ‘silos,’ resulting in applications that don’t share data effectively or create an inconsistent experience. Our broad, business-based approach involves working with relevant stakeholders and facilitating consensus on a solution that meets the needs of all. Most importantly, our process ensures that customer experience is the foundation of your solution. The right experience makes the difference. In addition to a uniquely customer-focused perspective, we bring extensive experience with: - Marketing, sales, and customer service functions and strategies in a wide range of industries -- from retail to financial services, and from real estate to pharmaceuticals.
- Business-to-business (B2B), business-to-customer (B2C), and business-to-employee (B2E) strategies.
- Integration of customer systems across functions.
- Selection and implementation of all leading CRM, content management, Internet development, sales force automation, and other third-party software applications.
