Anticipate, simplify, engage

Face it
It's not just your business card, your storefront, your top sales rep, or even all the money you sank into a new corporate identity program that is driving business. Your business is driven by relationships with your customers, partners, and employees.

The new face of your business is the web, and creating exceptional web experiences drive better business outcomes. Anticipating the needs of customers and employees, simplifying the experience, and engaging with them in their communities is the path to getting there.

There are more than two billion Internet users.¹ To succeed in this environment, you need to deliver a web experience that not only engages customers, partners, and employees, but also develops relationships that help you market, sell, operate, and manage faster and better than your competition.

IBM web experience solutions enable you to:

• Lower the costs of serving your customers, partners, and employees
• Tie together systems, processes, information, content, and collaboration tools
• Streamline and simplify inefficient, lengthy, and cumbersome processes
• Empower users with collaboration and mashup tools; user-centric web content control and management; and user-generated eforms

Real results

Reliance Life Insurance used IBM web experience software to create both an agent portal and a customer portal. Reliance reduced their customer and agent self-service costs by nearly 50 percent and saved millions of dollars.

Insurance technology and service providers IDP boosts revenues by helping small insurance carriers and their agents compete against larger insurers. The key is an agent portal powered by IBM web experience software.

Hearst Corporation knows the media, advertising, and publishing market on both the national and local scale. A self-service web portal solution enabled a renewed web presence that allows Hearst to provide a high-touch relationship with customers, while supporting a potential 10 to 15 percent productivity gain.
