About The Customer
Avvo is an online legal marketplace that connects consumers with lawyers and legal advice, and offers lawyers a platform to reach consumers through editable profiles and tools to manage leads. The site has detailed profiles and ratings for 95% of the U.S. board certified lawyers, searchable legal advice from lawyers across the U.S., and a forum where people can ask specific legal questions. Avvo changed the landscape for consumer legal services by giving people access to lawyers and legal advice, and offering lawyers a platform to reach consumers.
The Challenge
Avvo, an online legal marketplace that connects consumers with lawyers and legal advice, was facing a disconnect between the pricing of sponsored advertising and the customer value it offered. The pricing was based on feeling rather than fact, making it difficult for the sales team to prove value to new prospects or implement demand-based price adjustments on existing accounts. The team needed to understand the number of impressions and clicks on sponsored advertising positions by region and legal specialty. If consumers in a particular region spent more time exploring content or clicking on ads for a particular specialty, then the value of advertising for that service in that region should be higher—and the price should be increased accordingly.
The Solution
To understand performance and site usage patterns, Avvo and its Google Analytics 360 authorized reseller, Analytics Pros, used Google Analytics 360 to collect the right data. They used Google Tag Manager 360 to add and update website tags. Setting up event tracking enabled them to measure impressions, ad clicks and click-through rates for on-site advertisements. Implementing Tag Manager 360 allowed Avvo to track a variety of visitor-level data elements, including the type of devices users were searching with, lawyer profile ID, lawyer ratings and more. Once these solutions were deployed, Avvo turned to the data import functionality in Analytics 360 to incorporate regional and specialty information into their reporting.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage

The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments.
