The Power of Putting Customers First: Why a Stellar Customer Support Philosophy is Crucial for Every Company

By Kian Griffin

In today’s fast-paced business world, companies are in a constant race to stay ahead of the competition. While factors like product quality and pricing strategies play a significant role, there’s one often overlooked aspect that can truly set a company apart: its commitment to customer support. By adopting a customer-centric approach and nurturing a solid customer support philosophy, businesses can forge enduring relationships, skyrocket customer satisfaction, and pave the way for long-term success. In this article, let’s explore why a customer support philosophy is absolutely indispensable for any thriving company.

Building Trust and Loyalty: The Foundation of Success

In the vast realm of business, trust and loyalty reign supreme. A customer support philosophy serves as the bedrock for cultivating trust and fostering unwavering loyalty among customers. When faced with a problem or inquiry, customers rely on a company’s support system to come to their aid. By showing responsiveness, empathy, and consistent commitment to resolving issues, companies instil unwavering confidence in their customers. This trust is the key ingredient that transforms satisfied customers into repeat customers and passionate advocates for the brand.

Enhancing Customer Satisfaction: The Heartbeat of Success

Exceptional customer support and heightened customer satisfaction go hand in hand. When customers encounter a seamless, personalised, and effective support experience, they feel truly valued and appreciated. A customer support philosophy that emphasises proactive problem-solving, active listening, and swift issue resolution can elevate the overall customer experience to new heights. Happy customers are more inclined to share glowing feedback, refer others to the company, and remain steadfastly loyal, even in the face of fierce competition.

Standing Out from the Crowd: the Competitive Advantage

In today’s always-on marketplace, where products and services can seem interchangeable, a well-defined customer support philosophy becomes a potent differentiator. When a company places paramount importance on customer support, it immediately distinguishes itself from competitors who might overlook this vital aspect. By consistently delivering exceptional support throughout the customer journey — from pre-purchase inquiries to post-purchase assistance — a company can create a unique competitive advantage that magnetises and retains customers.

Gaining Priceless Customer Insights: The Fuel for Growth

Customer support interactions are treasure troves of invaluable feedback and insights for any company. By actively engaging with customers, attentively listening to their concerns, and diligently addressing their needs, businesses gain a profound understanding of their target audience. This firsthand knowledge fuels product improvements, informs astute marketing strategies, and shapes future business decisions. A customer support philosophy that genuinely values customer feedback and actively strives for improvement paves the way for perpetual growth and unyielding success.

Mitigating Reputational Risks: Safeguarding Your Brand

In the interconnected world in which we live, a company’s reputation can either propel it to soaring heights or sink it beneath the waves. Customer support plays an undeniable role in managing and mitigating reputational risks. When customers face challenges or undergo negative experiences, they often turn to social media platforms and online review websites to voice their opinions. A robust customer support philosophy empowers companies to swiftly address and resolve issues, thereby averting potential damage to their hard-earned reputation. By consistently and genuinely demonstrating a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, businesses shield their brand image and cultivate an indomitably positive reputation.

In an era where customer expectations, rightly, have never been higher, a well-defined customer support philosophy is the lifeblood of any successful company. By placing trust, loyalty, customer satisfaction, differentiation, customer insights, and reputation management at the core of their operations, businesses can nurture a customer-centric culture that fuels unprecedented success. Investing in customer support doesn’t just ensure the immediate resolution of issues; it fosters enduring customer relationships, paving the way for sustainable growth.

At IMGS, we wholeheartedly embrace the significance of a customer support philosophy. We understand that our clients rely on us for exceptional support throughout their journey with us. By prioritising responsiveness, technical expertise, and a genuine commitment to problem-solving, we ensure that our customers receive unparalleled assistance and care. We take pride in going above and beyond to build trust, foster loyalty, and enhance customer satisfaction.

In conclusion, a customer support philosophy is not just a business strategy; it is a mindset that drives success. By taking these principles to heart at IMGS, we strive to deliver an unparalleled customer experience, build lasting relationships, and lead the way in GIS and Data Intelligence solutions.

Monitise your data

Data Monetisation, Sisense / By imgsblog / Leave a Comment

Monetising Your Data with Sisense
Unlocking The Power of Analytics

In today’s data-driven world, organisations are continuously collecting vast amounts of data. However, merely accumulating data is not enough to drive business growth. To stay competitive, businesses need to extract actionable insights from their data and transform it into a valuable asset. This is where our partner technology, Sisense, a business intelligence and analytics platform, comes into play. I want to explore how you can monetise your data with Sisense and unlock its potential for revenue generation.

First off, we must understand the Value of Data:

How many times have you heard data being referred to as the “new oil” because of its immense value? Too many I’m sure as it seems an old phrase at this stage, but it has become increasingly more and more poignant. By harnessing the power of data analytics, businesses can gain valuable insights, identify trends, make informed decisions, and discover new revenue streams. In a way data is not like the ‘new oil’ in that unlike oil the same data can be consumed more than once and enriched with other data repeatedly leading to exponential value creation and continuous innovation – and doesn’t destroy the planet!

DataBuilders in conjunction with Sisense empowers organisations to explore their data, uncover hidden patterns, and transform it into actionable intelligence.

Leveraging Sisense's Analytical Capabilities

Sisense provides a user-friendly, end-to-end analytics platform that enables businesses to unlock the full potential of their data. Below are some of the key features that can help facilitate and accelerate data monetisation:

Data Integration: Sisense makes integrating data from multiple sources simple. Be it structured or unstructured data and allows for a unified view in your Sisense Elasticube. This enables businesses to gain a holistic understanding of their data and make more informed decisions.

Powerful Data Visualisation: As any BI tool should, Sisense offers interactive dashboards and visualisations that make complex data easily understandable. These visually appealing representations help stakeholders gain insights quickly and act upon them. Where Sisense stands out, is with the no/low-code, drag-and-drop configuration making adoption and usability easier for anyone to pick it up.

Advanced Analytics: Sisense goes beyond basic reporting and offers advanced analytics capabilities, such as predictive modelling, machine learning, and natural language processing (ChatGPT coming soon here). These features allow businesses to uncover deeper insights and make data-driven predictions.

Embedded Analytics: Sisense allows businesses to embed analytics directly into their products, applications, or services. This empowers organisations to create data-driven, self-service offerings for their customers, opening new revenue streams.

Not to forget the new report manager feature where you can schedule reports to be sent how and when you want it, to whomever you want it in PDF, email, CSV format or even as a link directly to the dashboard. And pulse alerts, alerting you (as you could probably tell by the name) to let you know when a particular metric of yours is under/overperforming based on thresholds that you set or even when a particular trigger event happens.

Monitising Data With Sisense

We have several customers monetising their data and what we’ve learned through their experience is that there are several ways in which you can look to maximise your monetisation strategy. Although some have very unique offerings, I was able to pull them all together in the most applicable ways to any data set as follows;

Data-as-a-Service (DaaS): With Sisense, you can create and offer data products to customers. By packaging and selling your data, you can provide valuable insights to other businesses, researchers, or even the general public should you be geared that way. This approach allows you to generate revenue from your data assets.

Subscription-Based Analytics: Sisense enables you to build subscription-based analytics services. By offering customers access to your analytics platform, you can monetise your expertise and data insights. This model can be particularly beneficial for consultancy firms or businesses with specialised knowledge.

Data-Driven Applications: Sisense’s embedded analytics capabilities empower you to create data-driven applications. By integrating analytics directly into your software or services, you can offer enhanced functionality to your customers so they have the analytics right where they are already working. This not only adds value but also creates new monetisation opportunities.

Partnerships and Collaborations: Sisense provides integration options that allow you to collaborate with other organisations or industry partners. By combining your data with complementary datasets, you can create unique value propositions and explore joint monetisation strategies.

DataBuilders and Sisense are keen to work with you in finding the right approach that makes the most commercial sense to your business model and along with our team of experts will help you become the biggest data-driven organisation around and maximise the potential value your data and data operations hold.

Ensuring Data Privacy and Security

This is often one of the biggest concerns for any company engaging with us when they are trying to monetise their data and with multi-tenancy, role-level access & MFA concerns quickly dissipate. Monetising your data comes with the responsibility of ensuring privacy and security. Sisense offers robust data protection measures, including user access controls, encryption, and compliance with industry regulations. By safeguarding your data assets, you build trust with customers and maintain a competitive edge.

Data is a valuable asset that, when leveraged effectively, can drive business growth and revenue generation. Sisense offers a powerful analytics platform that enables organisations to unlock the potential of their data.

Data monetisation starts here. Databuilders and Sisense equip you with the insights and strategies to monetise your data effectively. Act now and unlock the revenue potential of your data. Please reach out and talk to me should you have any questions or queries or feel as though you’re ready to maximise the potential value hidden within your data. And if you think you already have, I can assure you we’ll find more. Contact me on my details below to set up a DEMO today!

Hrvoje Vukasinovic Staff Profile

Staff Profile of the Week / By imgsblog / Leave a Comment

Hrvoje Vukasinovic Staff Profile

Hrvoje can you describe your role at IMGS?

I’m a technical Lead in IMGS, and work with our customers to solve their GIS/IT issues.

Before working at IMGS, what was the most unusual or interesting job you've ever had?

My most interesting job, has to be my previous role as Information Manager at Dublin Airport. The airport is such a vibrant place to work, with lots of variety and opportunity for continuous learning.

While working at the airport, I was lucky to get the chance to visit the runway and then go up to the air traffic control tower to observe flights as they take off and land.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I have tons of different interests: Travelling would be at the top of that list (which I really missed during the pandemic), tennis, swimming, going to the sauna, hiking, and collecting soccer jerseys!,

What would you do for a career if you weren't doing this?

When I was a kid, I dreamt of becoming an Architect, as I was obsessed with building stadiums out of small wooden bricks. However, now I could very much see myself as a tourist guide based in some sunny Mediterranean country.

What's the best place that you've travelled to and why?

If I had to choose just one place, it would be Velebit mountain in Croatia. It’s such a calm, peaceful place with spectacular views of the Adriatic Sea and surrounding mountain ranges.

What's the last app that you downloaded?

Revolut. I put off signing up for some time, but finally succumbed and now can’t live without it!

What do you enjoy most about working at IMGS?

I enjoy being part of such a supportive team here in IMGS. I love the variety of my role and the challenge of finding solutions to issues as they arise.

Staff Profile of the Week / By imgsblog / Leave a Comment

Conor McIntyre Staff Profile

Conor can you describe your role at IMGS?

My role in IMGS is as Business Development Executive. I work with both new and existing customers to help them understand their data challenges. Together, using our IMGS Data Intelligence Platform, we create solutions to improve information sharing to curb the inefficiencies, visualise data and empower organisations to do more with their data.

Before working at IMGS what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

I worked 12-hour shifts in a bacon-only sandwich shop during my time in Toronto when I was 21. I’m instantly teleported back to those days when I smell bacon still.

What do you like to do when you aren’t working?

I try to keep as active as possible, hitting the gym and playing sports. I am captain and founder of a basketball club in Ballinteer.

If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Aside from my nan just one more time, I would say Michael Jordan, I’m sure I could find a challenge that would pique his betting interest and that I may stand a chance in winning too!

What is your favourite holiday destination?

Sun holiday: I love Greece. If I could go anywhere; New York wins every time. I’m hoping to go again early next year. I’m sure I’ll come back….maybe.

What’s the last book that you read?

The 100-year-old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared. Title is a mouthful, but (let me put my leaving cert English to use here) serves a foreboding measure for the story as a whole! Brilliant book and while the title gives the essence of the story, it follows into his life very much like Forrest Gump (favourite film by the way) and coincides with significant world events. 10/10 would reccommend (movie not so good, watch Forrest Gump 😊)

What do you enjoy most about working at IMGS?

It has to be the team; everyone is so close which makes for a great atmosphere to work in.
