KPMG-and-ServiceNow-Expand-Alliance-to-Help-Customers-Accelerate-ESG-Impact-and-Modernize-Risk-and-Resilience

New joint solutions and services help customers embed a balanced approach to risk and regulation as a part of their digital transformation and ESG journeys.

KPMG and ServiceNow announced an expansion to their alliance relationship to deliver environmental, social, and governance (ESG) focused solutions and services that extend KPMG offerings and help companies revolutionize risk management, resilience processes, and operations.

“To adapt and respond to the ever-changing global marketplace, and the evolving expectations of consumers, regulators, and investors, it is imperative that companies increase their trust profiles with their stakeholder ecosystem”

KPMG is ServiceNow’s lead launch and design partner for their new integrated ESG solution and will also work with ServiceNow to help companies provide visibility and transparency across ESG programs and initiatives and help strategize, manage, govern, and report on these efforts on a single platform. The two organizations are committed to helping business leaders drive an overall growth strategy that is aligned with their digital acceleration plans and ESG initiatives while earning and deserving their stakeholder trust through key capabilities and a portfolio of solutions.

ServiceNow and KPMG have committed to jointly deliver solutions and services that help unlock ESG value and impact by helping businesses take a more proactive approach to ESG. These solutions can help companies activate ESG strategies, programs, and initiatives – from enhancing diversity and inclusion and reducing carbon emissions to enabling business continuity management – across the enterprise, fulfilling increasing expectations from customers, regulators, and investors to achieve our collective ambitions of building a more sustainable, equitable, and ethical world.

This alliance expansion of solutions and services brings together KPMG professionals’ deep experience and market-leading industry insights with ServiceNow’s leading digital workflow platform. The newly announced ServiceNow solution integrates ServiceNow ESG Management and Reporting with the ServiceNow Project and Portfolio management and Integrated Risk Management solution to help customers strategize, manage, govern, and report on their ESG efforts. KPMG firms will build on this solution and additionally weave in ServiceNow Security Operations and ServiceNow Vendor Risk Management solutions to create a set of ESG, risk and compliance, internal audit, operational resilience, and cyber security solutions that allow customers to build and sustain trust with their stakeholders.

By the end of 2021, KPMG firms will focus on two technology solutions powered by ServiceNow. The first solution will help organizations address the increasingly pressing challenge of supply chain transparency by enabling visibility and clarity across their supplier ecosystem and the second solution will bring together ESG projects, data, and governance to help clients manage their ESG commitments and compliance.

“To adapt and respond to the ever-changing global marketplace, and the evolving expectations of consumers, regulators, and investors, it is imperative that companies increase their trust profiles with their stakeholder ecosystem,” said Rob Fisher, KPMG Impact and ESG National Leader in the US and member of the KPMG Impact Global Steering Group. “This is why KPMG firms are increasingly focused on helping clients to innovate and grow responsibly. Our continued collaboration with ServiceNow is now more important than ever as we combine skills in ESG, risk, technology and consulting to create the right digital tools and solutions to help clients prepare to meet these expectations.”

“Activating ESG across the enterprise will require a team effort and careful oversight. Maturing from myriad, often isolated efforts to an efficient system requires the ServiceNow ‘platform of platforms’ approach. Over time, we also believe companies will be most successful by integrating ESG efforts within strategy, management, governance, and reporting for their entire organization. Building on our existing momentum with KPMG, we have a running start in helping customers overcome these complex challenges to workflow a better world,” said Vasant Balasubramanian, VP and GM of the Risk Business Unit at ServiceNow.

Customers can manage risk as they build resilience.
With these new services, KPMG is building on an existing suite of products.

These areas include:

  • Risk and Compliance – A myriad of external forces are transforming the nature of risk across companies and industries. To compete, companies need transformative approaches to risk management, regulatory management, and compliance. KPMG and ServiceNow professionals work together to empower clients to create value by harnessing risk. We blend our risk and business know-how with technical innovation to offer strategic solutions spanning IT, operational, and third-party risk management that help organizations make smarter, more effective and efficient decisions while meeting ever-evolving regulatory requirements.
  • Cyber Security – Working together, KPMG and ServiceNow professionals help clients create a resilient and trusted digital enterprise by combining strategy, technology, and experience across the enterprise. Organizations should also consider ESG cybersecurity reporting to help develop and sustain trust with stakeholders. Our combined offerings bring together the capabilities that clients need to enhance resilience and knowledge to help achieve long-lasting competitive advantage that is sustainable and secure.

KPMG firms will also be leveraging ServiceNow’s Audit Management and Legal Service Delivery products to support the transformation of contracting workflow processes to assist KPMG’s internal audit management process.

Measured Facebook Solution Reveals Media Incrementality While Platform Attribution Is Hindered by Apple

DTC Brands Trust Unbiased Experiments and Source-of-Truth Reporting to Inform Facebook Ad Investments

As advertising platforms grapple with the measurement fallout of increasing restrictions on data and tracking, Measured has launched the industry’s first end-to-end incrementality measurement and reporting solution for Facebook in a post-iOS 14.5 world.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Jason Brown, Addressable Advertising Lead for WarnerMedia Ad Sales

“Although Hammitt only started with Measured less than a year ago, their scientific method is just what is needed to scale profitably – in spite of privacy changes, which I support”

Facebook recently indicated that the platform’s measurement and reporting systems are suffering accuracy issues related to updates in recent versions of Apple’s iOS. Facebook believes that “real world conversions, like sales and app installs, are higher than what is being reported for many advertisers.”

Experiments from Measured provide DTC brands like Birdies, Fabletics, Lulus, and Stance with reliable ongoing insights into Facebook incrementality at channel, campaign and ad set levels. By measuring the true incremental contribution of Facebook media, anchored on source-of-truth transaction data provided by the brand, marketers can make informed decisions about budget allocation – even amid rising concerns about the reliability of platform self-reporting.

Marketing Technology News: NASCAR Taps Subnation To Develop Persistent Metaverse Experiences For Auto-Racing Fans

“Privacy-driven changes across the industry are causing widespread reporting headaches for platforms and forcing brands to adapt how they track and measure,” said Madan Bharadwaj, CTO and cofounder of Measured. “We built Measured in anticipation of this moment. We continuously refine our experiment designs and adapt to inevitable changes by platforms to ensure brands can always trust insights they get from us.”

Apple’s tracking policies pressured Facebook to make multi-faceted changes to attribution capabilities it offers advertisers, including a significant scale-back in conversion lift-testing and the elimination of 28-day click-through and view-through attribution windows. The decrease in trackable data has caused a notable drop in attribution reporting from the platform and the shorter look-back periods make it exponentially more difficult to run statistically significant split-audience test and control experiments.

In the wake of these iOS-related implications, Measured developed a new suite of experiment designs and actionable reporting tools that identify the causality between Facebook investments and actual business transactions reported by the brand, empowering marketers to make confident decisions about advertising on the platform.

Audience split experiments – Measured’s proprietary methodology utilizes the Facebook audience split API to divide target audiences into test and control cohorts and apply systematic lift studies to get program-level and granular ad set-level incrementality measurements.

Geo-matched market experiments – Using advanced matched-market data science, Measured identifies statistically significant sibling markets (geos), at the state, DMA or zip code level, that are similar but cheaper to test in than larger markets. Because geo experiments are based on source-of-truth transaction data from the business (e.g. ecommerce platform) and run completely independent of platform reporting, geo-testing is the only system of measurement that isn’t affected by platform and policy changes.

Scale testing experiments – To test for scale, Measured splits target audiences into three cohorts – test, control, and scale. The ad sets used for the test group are cloned and served to the scale group, but at 2x-3x-4x the spend, to measure the point of audience saturation.

“Although Hammitt only started with Measured less than a year ago, their scientific method is just what is needed to scale profitably – in spite of privacy changes, which I support,” said Tony Drockton, Founder of Hammitt, an emerging leader in the luxury handbag market. “Great brands will prosper in these times with a clear vision, great partners like Measured, and by approaching digital media as a permission-based win-win between their customers and the brands they love.”

IBM Board of Directors Approves Separation of Kyndryl

IBM announced today that its board of directors has approved the previously announced separation of Kyndryl, the company’s managed infrastructure services business.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Max Nelson, VP of Marketing Communications at OpenX

“The separation of Kyndryl is a significant step in the continued evolution of IBM, a company now squarely focused on delivering powerful hybrid cloud and AI solutions and capabilities to enterprises around the world.”

To effect the separation the IBM board of directors declared a pro rata distribution to IBM stockholders of 80.1 percent of the outstanding shares of Kyndryl. Once distributed, each holder of IBM common stock will receive one share of Kyndryl common stock for every five shares of IBM common stock held on October 25, 2021, the record date for the distribution. The distribution is expected to occur after close of market on November 3, 2021. It is intended that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the distribution will be conducted in a tax-efficient manner for IBM stockholders in the United States. The distribution is subject to certain conditions described in the registration statement on Form 10 filed by Kyndryl.

IBM will retain 19.9 percent of the shares of Kyndryl common stock, with the intention of exchanging those shares for IBM debt during the 12-month period following the distribution, subject to market considerations.

“Today’s announcement is a milestone for IBM, its employees and its shareholders as we enter a new era of growth,” said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman and chief executive officer. “The separation of Kyndryl is a significant step in the continued evolution of IBM, a company now squarely focused on delivering powerful hybrid cloud and AI solutions and capabilities to enterprises around the world.”

“Kyndryl has an important and exciting mission – to design, build and manage the technology infrastructure that the world depends on each day,” said Martin Schroeter, Kyndryl chairman and chief executive officer. “As an independent and focused services leader, Kyndryl will be at the heart of progress for our customers.”

Shareholders do not need to take any action to receive shares of Kyndryl common stock to which they are entitled as an IBM stockholder. Additionally, shareholders do not need to pay any consideration, or surrender or exchange shares of IBM common stock, to participate in the separation.

Vaultree Introduces Encryption-as-a-Service Solution for the Global Market

Next-gen encryption startup ushers in new era of data protection

Vaultree today introduced a first of its kind Encryption-as-a-Service solution to improve data protection for the cloud era. The company’s end-to-end encryption technology provides companies in highly regulated industries with a fast, scalable and easy-to-integrate solution that makes it possible to work with fully encrypted cloud data at scale, maintaining top performance without the need to decrypt data or surrender encryption keys.

Marketing Technology News: Robinos Releases a New Blockchain Platform for Retail Investors, Traders, and Sport Fans

Data breaches are anticipated to cost an estimated $6 trillion in damage to the global economy by the end of 2021, with attacks growing in intensity due to increased vulnerabilities in cloud, mobile devices, and the vast amount of existing breached data. While companies have financial incentives to scale using distributed tools like cloud computing services, they must also comply with industry standards and federal regulations that require restriction of access to sensitive data. At the same time, legacy encryption techniques are buckling under the strain of scale and are cumbersome to deploy and manage.

Vaultree enables organizations to work with their data in any kind of cloud environment, database or in conjunction with third-party SaaS tools in a fully end-to-end encrypted form while staying compliant. Its solution provides highly regulated businesses with:

  • Ease of integration and use: Vaultree enables companies to be at the forefront of data security with a zero-knowledge approach, with an easily integrated solution that’s simple to use for any enterprise.
  • Boosted security and control: Vaultree keeps sensitive data fully encrypted even while being used, stored or shared and gives the user full key control, never requiring a disclosure to Vaultree or a cloud provider. Audit logs and access management are included.
  • Enhanced performance and scalability: Users get the highest performance power with an infinitely scalable solution that can be used across multiple industries and platforms.

Tilo Weigandt, co-founder, Vaultree, said: “Traditional encryption solutions can’t scale for today’s needs. Highly regulated organizations need the ability to freely access and use their data without having to reveal their encryption keys or data content to anyone. Vaultree’s Encryption-as-a-Service solution provides a fully compliant and frictionless way for organizations to protect their most sensitive data without sacrificing performance.”

High Levels of Frustration Over Identity Authentication Turning Consumers Away from Brands, New Survey Shows

66% of Marketers Lack Confidence in Ability to Achieve Revenue Goals, According to CMO Council and Sprinklr Research

Consumers Overwhelmingly Prefer to Do Business with Companies that Make Authentication Both Simple and Safe, According to Survey of 2,000 Consumers by the BPI Network and CMO Council

Frustration with cumbersome and repetitive authentication processes are overwhelmingly causing consumers to search for brands and digital experiences that securely unify and simplify identity verification, according to a new report by the Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network and CMO Council, entitled “Authentication Frustration. How Companies Lose Customers in The Digital Age.”

Based on a survey of 2,000 consumers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, the study finds that a huge majority of 81 percent prefer to do business with companies that do a better job of recognizing and verifying their identity “simply, quickly and safely.” Over 60 percent of respondents say they have abandoned business transactions due to authentication frustration.

Problems with passwords remain a major grievance of consumers, who say they strongly prefer physical biometric authentication methods, such as facial and fingerprint recognition. Almost 7 in 10 consumers (68 percent) say they have problems remembering and using passwords. Forty-percent of respondents report using at least 11 passwords, including 23 percent who have 16 or more.

The report is part of a new initiative by the BPI Network and CMO Council, called Unify How You Verify, being conducted in partnership with Daon, a global leader in identity assurance technology. The thought leadership program explores the critical business need to simplify and unify the way companies recognize and authenticate their customers and partners across channels of engagement.

In addition to research into consumer attitudes toward current authentication processes, the initiative will include a further report based on interviews and interactions with senior executives and experts in identity management, security, customer support, and ecommerce, on what can be done to improve customer experiences and drive greater revenue, satisfaction and compliance.

“Password pain is hardly a new phenomenon. Yet it continues to be a persistent problem for consumers,” said Donovan Neale-May, executive director of the CMO Council and BPI Network. “Businesses and brands need to listen to what consumers are so clearly telling them. Simplify and improve authentication and you will gain customer loyalty and grow your business. Fail to do so, and you can expect greater customer churn and revenue losses.”

“Data protection, privacy and identity theft are massive challenges for today’s digital business world,” said George Skaff, senior vice president of marketing at Daon. “The issue has become significantly more severe in recent months as consumers relied heavily on digital transactions throughout the Covid pandemic. At Daon, we believe companies need to adopt an “Identity Continuity” model of authentication, in which biometric and non-biometric factors come together on a single platform to create a unified identity experience across the entire customer relationship lifecycle—from identity proofing and onboarding to authentication and recovery.”

Market data shows that consumers have dramatically accelerated their use of digital channels and interactions during the pandemic. A recent study by McKinsey found that global business executives estimate that their digital interactions with customers and partners have accelerated by some 3 to 4 years due to the pandemic.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Gregory Zakowicz, Director of Content, Omnisend

Among other key findings in the Authentication Frustration report:

  • 85 percent of respondents say a difficult authentication process reflects negatively on a company and its brand, including 53 percent who say it has a “major” or “significant” negative impact.
  • Financial services companies are a frequent source of authentication frustration. Consumers say the top areas where the encounter difficult identity experiences are:
    • 43%      Digital devices
    • 37%      Banks
    • 29%      Credit and debit cards
    • 27%      Mobile payment services
  • Most vexing problems with passwords:
    • 55%        Keeping track of numerous passwords
    • 43%        Needing to re-create passwords
    • 34%        Being asked to strengthen passwords
    • 25%        Coming up with new passwords
  • Consumers overwhelmingly prefer biometric authentication, including the use of voice, fingerprint, face, eyes, and behaviors.
    • 44 percent say they “absolutely” believe biometric authentication is an easier and better form of verification
    • 34 percent say they would prefer to use biometrics as long as it is secure
    • Only 10 percent prefer passwords and other forms of authentication over biometrics
