MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!

Consolidation of technology and budgets is happening right now as a result of stalled growth. Before looking at technology on a flow chart and making decisions about where to consolidate, it’s important to have the pointed conversation with each vendor about where they can lean in to drive growth for you. Set agreed upon targets with guardrails based on how you want your customers treated, and then respond appropriately if they miss or beat those targets. You might be under-utilizing technologies in your stack and over-emphasizing others.

MarTech QnA with the Expert

AI has become a bit of a buzzword and may appear to be the solution to everything—but it’s not. AI has transformative capabilities in certain areas but may not be as effective or appropriate in others. In implementing AI tools, teams should be educated about what AI can realistically achieve in different areas. This ensures that they can extract real business value from the technology and prevent misuse of AI where a human touch would yield superior results. –Eran Helft, Director of Product Management at monday.com
