Anaplan Continues to Explore Different Ways to Put the Customer First

Anaplan Continues to Explore Different Ways to Put the Customer First

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – July 13, 2021 – Medallia, Inc. (NYSE: MDLA), the global leader in customer and employee experience, and Anaplan, Inc. (NYSE: PLAN), provider of a leading cloud-native platform for orchestrating business performance, shared results from the deployment of the Medallia Experience Cloud to reimagine how Anaplan collects, manages, and actions customer feedback. 

Last year, Anaplan replaced a collection of customer feedback mechanisms with the Medallia Experience Cloud. Medallia helped Anaplan add multiple feedback touch points across their customer journey and provided direct access for necessary employees to feedback data.

“Having access to real-time feedback allows us to make faster, more intelligent decisions across Anaplan. These decisions can include everything from how we design our platform to how we deliver everyday support,” said Anaplan Vice President of Customer Care Anne Cooper. 

Anaplan Product Support Managers follow-up with customers who need assistance. Support Analysts receive personalized coaching or praise based on customer feedback. Within the first year of the program, 80% of Anaplan Customer Care employees logged into the Medallia platform to view and act on customer data and the results were clear. Anaplan’s Customer Care Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased to 77 during the first year leveraging Medallia for customer feedback.

“Understanding brand experience is critical to overall success. Medallia captures feedback data at every stage, uses advanced AI and machine learning to surface insights, and delivers those insights in an actionable way across our customers’ organizations,” said Medallia CEO Leslie Stretch “We are thrilled to see Anaplan continue to put their customers first as they lean into our platform to inform everything from customer service to product development.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
