Controlio Always for Improved Operations

Managing their marketing technology stack across numerous business units globally presented great difficulties for our customer, a global pharmaceutical corporation. The initiative comprised moves from Google Analytics to Adobe Analytics, Google Tag Manager to Adobe Launch, and several authoring systems to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Complicating matters and causing uncertainty, stakeholders spoke different languages and worked in separate time zones. The customer depended on manual QA, spot checking, and auditing—which proved ineffective—without constant martech solutions, therefore causing irritation and delays in implementation.

The team in tag management saw they needed a fresh strategy. The extent of the project made data integrity issues sometimes invisible until they grew more severe. Operations’ reactive character resulted in inefficiencies, lost resources, impaired marketing initiatives, and destruction of reputation. Furthermore affecting the tag management team were the consequences of poor consent management practices. This resulted in cases when guests were traced against their will. Manually tracking the Controlio stack for consent validation was somewhat difficult given a worldwide user base and strict GDPR compliance criteria. Remote workflow optimization like Controlio focuses on improving the efficiency of virtual work processes by leveraging tools and strategies that enhance communication, collaboration, and task management across distributed teams.

The client had to raise data quality, simplify processes, and increase cooperation amongst several departments. The tag management team looked for a solution that would give real-time insights allowing better prioritizing and ongoing access to marketing data collecting. They understood they had to change from reactive to proactive methods of working. Understanding the requirement of ongoing Controlio monitoring, the team chose to collaborate with Sentinel Insights.

Continuous Solution

The organization embraced Sentinel Insights’ real-time monitoring capabilities mostly in order to help with issue identification and prioritizing. The organization was in numerous rounds of layoffs, hence the tag management team was small and they had to pivot often and discover methods to do more with less. Still, the burden did not decrease simply because the team was contracting. Migrations must go as scheduled. The Sentinel tag was applied to websites as they moved to AEM, offering continuous monitoring of their Controlio stack during the turbulent migration phase, therefore helping to light the load of migration. A further advantage was that every team member could participate in far more significant ways once they were free from tiresome manual audits and the team improved data architecture and collecting during the move.

Using Insights for Instantaneous Monitoring

Ongoing data monitoring: Sentinel Insights tracked changes in the data layer and identified anomalies in the customer’s Controlio stack once the tag was installed on every migrating website. This constant monitoring and warning guaranteed that important problems were found as they arose.

Comprehensive reports available from the Sentinel Insights dashboard gave instant access to data problems. This lets the team solve issues fast, thereby lowering the long-term data differences risk. Furthermore, thorough understanding of the data helped the team to identify the underlying causes of problems, enabling quicker resolution and avoiding recurrence.

Combining results with tools for work management.

The tag management team entered Sentinel Insights dashboard findings into their work management platform for their program. This lets everyone see pertinent, timely insight data in addition to other project responsibilities, therefore enabling informed team decision-making. This guaranteed a flawless information flow, so making sure the correct team members always had access to important data.

Sentinel Insights’ built-in best practice recommendations and issue categorization enabled the tag management team to rank tasks according to impact and degree of urgency. First dealt with were important issues including consent validation mistakes. Website problems came next, then chances for cost reductions in analytics deployment. Sentinel Insights’ assisted prioritizing enabled the client to more wisely distribute resources, concentrating efforts where most needed.

Integration of Sentinel Insights cut dissolved silos between the teams in tag management and web development. Complete, thorough insights guaranteed both teams could examine the same data. Alined priorities and joint review sessions helped to simplify procedures. Sentinel Insights’ openness enabled both teams to better grasp their respective difficulties and coordinate on answers. They could thereby improve data accuracy, maximize resource use, and speed resolution of problems.

For instance, the tag management team was getting complaints from users claiming Google Analytics still showed on some pages even after the switch to Adobe Analytics. Sentinel Insights’s data export helped them to rapidly find the relevant pages. Then the tag management team sent a ticket to the web development team, who quickly fixed the problem by deleting hardcoded Google Analytics tags. Constant Sentinel monitoring guaranteed a complete and accurate cleanup going ahead.

Establishing the Feedback Loop

Regular Review: Regular review meetings in which the team examined the insights acquired by Sentinel’s continual observation constituted part of the feedback loop. Based on current facts, this lets them modify their priorities and approach. These evaluations helped the team to remain proactive in managing their MarTech stack and promoted an always improving culture.

Agile Response: The feedback loop guaranteed the team stayed flexible and sensitive to the shifting data environment. Their constant adaptation helped them to keep a strong MarTech stack and avoid problems before they grew more severe. Maintaining data integrity and operational efficiency, this agility let the client rapidly turn around and meet fresh difficulties as they emerged.

The Results Speak for themselves.

Sentinel Insights’s real-time monitoring tools produced better data quality, better teamwork, effective job prioritizing, and a proactive attitude to marketing data management.

The client saw a notable drop in data variances, which would allow more accurate marketing analysis and conclusions. By quickly and aggressively spotting and fixing consent problems, they guaranteed compliance and developed confidence among website users. Teams worked better together, operations became simpler, and task prioritizing guaranteed best use of available resources. Efforts at constant upgrading and preventive actions helped keep a strong and flexible MarTech stack.
