Why B2B needs omnichannel?
“Multichannel is an operational view – how you allow the customer to
complete transactions in each channel.
Omnichannel, however, is viewing the experience through the eyes of your
customer, orchestrating the customer experience across all channels so that it
is seamless, integrated, and consistent.
Omnichannel anticipates that customers may start in one channel and move
to another as they progress to a resolution. Making these complex ‘hand-
offs’ between channels must be fluid for the customer. Simply put, omni-
channel is multi-channel done right!”

B2B: Next Best Content example
Melinda Cormier, Sr. Director of Digital
Marketing & Brand Strategy, and the
Nuxeo team use Evergage to regularly
test an algorithmic recipe that
recommends additional blog posts,
personalized at the one-to-one level for
each blog reader.
As a result, the team saw a 34%
lift in blog engagement (measured as
views of 2+ blog posts) and a 2.4%
decrease in bounce rate.
