devices, extending their thinking to the semantic web and devices such
as Amazon Echo and Google Home.

Business Intel
opportunities and
challenges
The future of marketing will increasingly be predictive, hyper-

everything

15. Imagine these 2 booking experiences
“Alexa, order a ten pack of AA batteries”
Response: “Yes, Hal, I’ll do that now”
And later… “Alexa, when are my batteries coming?”
Response: “They are due for delivery today”
OR
1. Start your mobile/laptop and load a website
2. Navigate your way to find the right batteries
3. Click, click, click, enter personal details
4. Find credit card, enter those details too…
5. Open email and website to track delivery
Are we just
replacing web
forms, apps and
phone ordering?
16. Will Amazon
crush everyone?
Eliminate friction from
our customers lives. If
you make it easy for
customers through
conversational UI, they
will remain your
customers

17. What if you could use voice to
improve UX, CX and Business Intel?
18. ● Book a flight
● Order your product
● Apply for a credit card
● Review a restaurant or movie
● Book a car service
● Replace the product manual
● Provide some functions of the intranet
● Business to business ordering
Essentially we could replace the phone and
keyboard interfaces.
Where is it
heading for
Business?
19. Book a car in for
a service,
without putting
the entire
booking system
online
22. Provide a coffee
shop the ability
to voice order
their supplies for
the day rather

with each Rep

23. When you have a
trusted peer to peer
relationship, there is
no data entry
That’s AWESOME!
24. How do you deal with the
rise of personalisation and
omnichannel?
25. Some questions to consider
● What problem are you solving?
● What questions does the person have?
● Can you put your existing system online?
● If you don’t, where are you going to store
the content?
● How do you want to personalize the
content?
● What does success look like, how are you
going to assess it?
Omnichannel
and
Personalization
26. ● How can you personalize if what they are
looking for is not available
● However, the aim is not to develop more
and more content for all the devices
● Content is based upon context, context is
based upon need
● Structured content means that it can be
consumed by a conversational interface
● Adaptive content provides for
personalization
● You can adapt content for a specific
context such as internal use - eg in-house
ordering or a new staff member
Omnichannel and
Personalization -
The answer is to
design structured
content accessed
through
microservices/web
hooks

27. You could use
Kentico Cloud to
provide custom

assistants
● Manages all your content in a cloud-based
content hub
● Delivers your content to any channel and
device
● Can allow you to create segmentation
based upon activity
● Creates personalized experiences across
channels
● Future-proofs your investment into
content
Microservices architecture for
omnichannel delivery
35. ● Your kids sporting team results could be
updated and published
● Provide franchisees with access to Kentico
Cloud (instead of the CMS) to update store
opening and closing times so they are
accurate for the holidays
● Allow for donations to your charity
● Answer employee questions instead of
them calling HQ/HR
● How many leads has my site generated
today?
Pretty much anything that currently requires a
search and a screen with text/data
What else could
you do
@getstarted
36. Hot tip
Use Modular Content
Structured content is the key to
success on a headless CMS
Like widgets on steroids
Don’t be afraid to create LOTS
of content items
Limits on how many nodes you
create, don’t exist in Cloud
like they did in EMS
Searching and filtering do a
great job of finding items
37. Hot tip
Personalisation doesn’t need
personas
Basic personalisation can be
easy
Kentico Cloud does support
segments, but they’re not
required
Personalisation SDK allows you
to check basic activity
Example source code available
for .NET, e.g. form
submission
