[A] Operations

When there's too much content, too much data, and too little time, [A] can help.

Intelligent Customer Experiences (ICX) require organized, elegant content operations. Complex content operations require dozens of specialized skillsets, from determining the right approach, to structure and planning of integration, to keeping everything flowing smoothly.

[A] provides far more than just Strategy and Engineering. Yes, organizations need content models, taxonomies, and standards — but to deliver content in the new world, we need the people and processes designed to get it right the first time and produce visible project success.

Some clients rely on [A] as an integrated extension of internal teams, handling critical daily operations on an ongoing basis. Others prefer support with training, team role evaluation, recruiting support, and other services designed to increase internal capacity.

As customer expectations and internal complexity grows, leaders start to see more value in bringing in external support from [A] to work better every day, over the long-term.

Tactical Interventions

Content Operations Q&A

What is Content Operations?

[A] defines Content Operations as the organization function that performs the day-to-day business of acquiring, managing, and leveraging content.

Why should we consider a Content Operations program?

Lack of attention to content operations is usually the reason content intelligence initiatives ultimately succeed or fail. Whether managed internally, or involving [A] on a ongoing basis, all omnichannel publishers need to manage content operations as a defined organizational capability.

Why do I need Operation services?

You might not, if content and customer experience operations already run well and are staffed at the needed levels to accomplish the organization's ICX goals. If not, teams could benefit by involving [A].

What are the benefits of embedded operations support from [A]?

Long-term embedded operational support provides a safety net for organizations by retaining experienced professionals to enhance and extend internal capabilities, build new habits and rhythms, and reduce internal risk.

Does [A] Operations impact revenue?

It can. History has shown traceable revenue boosts across multiple clients that retain [A] Operations. Using data to optimize content discovery and customer experience can tie to measurable top-line impact; and, having an embedded partner that actively manages the business impacts of shifting technology, CX, and marketing landscapes can help identify brand new revenue and market opportunities.

What is the financial structure of [A] Operations services?

Tactical interventions are treated as T&M projects, and staffed accordingly. Ongoing [A] Operations are dedicated or semi-dedicated teams on volume-based retainer that renew, usually on a trimester basis along with planning and forecasting rhythms.
