Yesler announces new research on the state of the B2B technology-buyer mindset

Yesler B2B marketing agency today announced findings from original research into the B2B technology-buyer mindset. The research, conducted in the first of half of 2019, is summarized in The 5A Framework for the Technology Customer Lifecycle brief, which outlines a model for marketing technologies to businesses.

Yesler surveyed more than 400 IT professionals across industries who made technology purchases as part of their role. The goal was to better understand the technology-buying process from the buyers' point of view and to inform the marketing industry of the current state of the B2B technology-buying journey, including buying stages, content preferences, and factors that influence advocacy and buying decisions. The brief indicates that technology buyers are highly aware of new technologies before they need a solution and that this awareness coincides with a robust preference for peer and third-party recommendations throughout the buying process.

General changes in consumer buying behavior and changes in the way that technology is packaged and sold (from static software to cloud subscription services) have altered the way that business buyers make technology purchases. The process is much more customer-driven and assessment is continuous throughout the entire cycle.

"Marketing's job is tougher and more expansive than it has ever been," says David Jones, President of Yesler. "It's essential to focus on the customer throughout the entire customer lifecycle, from the moment they are searching for solutions through to attrition—because at any stage, a prospect or customer can exit and reenter the cycle. The results suggest it's time for a new, nonlinear model of the technology-buying journey."

The 5A Framework adjusts the typical models for the B2B buying journey (e.g., Awareness, Research, Consideration, and Decision) to match the experience of the process as described by technology buyers. The model details the experience in key moments of Advocacy, Awareness, Assessment, Adoption, and Attrition, with Advocacy forming the foundation of marketing activities. The research brief indicates that a focus on customer experience—specifically a focus on activities that create advocates—throughout the entire lifecycle, from Awareness, through Assessment and Adoption to Attrition, can better serve information-seeking, highly aware technology buyers and help promote a strong customer relationship throughout decision making and after the sale.

Congress, Pet Care Leaders Celebrate Pet Night on Capitol Hill

The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), the Pet Leadership Council (PLC) and the Pet Food Institute (PFI) joined with members of Congress and congressional staff for Pet Night on Capitol Hill, an annual celebration of the importance of pets to our health and well-being. Read news here.

As guests interacted with special pet guests, the event hosts and colleagues in the pet care community spent the evening sharing the positive message of how pets improve our lives and honoring members of Congress who helped support pet-friendly policies. From providing social support, improving mental health and decreasing stress, to increasing physical activity, lowering blood pressure, scientific research supports many benefits of responsible pet ownership and a love for pets.

"Virtually every American pet owner considers their pet to be an important part of the family," said Steve King, CEO of the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and HABRI board member. "Pet Night is a reflection of the growing value of pet ownership in society and the importance of the human-animal bond to so many people."

"Pet Night brings a bipartisan love of pets to Capitol Hill, and the shared message that pets enrich our lives and keep us healthy," noted Jacinthe Moreau, president of the World Pet Association (WPA) and chair of the Pet Leadership Council (PLC). "We are here to partner with members of Congress to support public policies that will help create a healthier, more pet-friendly society."

Pet Night paid special tribute to Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) with the "Pets' Best Friend Award" to recognize his dedication to advancing legislation in the interest of the human-animal bond. Senator Roberts was instrumental in passing the Pet and Women's Safety (PAWS) Act in December of 2018. The PAWS Act will help survivors of domestic violence protect themselves and find safe shelter for their beloved pets, who they rely upon for companionship and support. Read all the latest news.

The Pet Night on Capitol Hill hosts highlighted a number of additional programs and initiatives championed by the pet care community. Programs on display included the Pet Care Trust's Pets in the Classroom program, an educational grant program that provides financial support to teachers to purchase and maintain classroom pets and APPA's Pets Add Life, a non-profit campaign dedicated to promoting the joys and benefits of responsible pet ownership. Also in attendance were Pet Partners certified therapy animal-handler teams, the 2019 Westminster Best in Show Winner provided by Nestlé Purina PetCare, the search and rescue dog Henry from the film Superpower Dogs, sponsored by Mars Petcare, and local adoptable dogs with the Humane Rescue Alliance. In addition, the Animal Health Institute honored the winners of the Cutest Pets on Capitol Hill contest, now in its thirteenth year, and awarded the cutest congressional companions from both sides of the aisle.

"This year's event was an opportunity to recognize the many ways pets support our well-being, and our special pet guests were invaluable ambassadors as we delivered this message to Congress," said Dana Brooks, president and CEO of PFI.

StarCompliance Announces The Launch Of Compliance Control Room: Software To Streamline And Automate Conflicts Monitoring For Financial Services

StarCompliance today announced the launch of its new financial compliance software: Compliance Control Room. Compliance Control Room is an enterprise-level platform which centralizes a firm's deal-related information flows to better organize, analyze, and record critical firm activity like wall crossings, watch and restricted lists, firm research, insider lists, and more. Compliance Control Room is the end result of a year and a half of development and marketplace research to provide a solution specifically to those within investment banks, asset management firms, and private equity firms concerned with managing and monitoring deal-related conflicts.

"Understanding the information we have in the bank is key to managing it," says the Head of Compliance Control Room at a leading international bank who recently implemented Star's Compliance Control Room product. "You can't do that from spreadsheets anymore. Capturing MNPI, no matter where it originates from, is critical. Data needs to be stored in a safe place. You need proper record keeping and audit trails. You need good report generation. The software has to be easy for front line people to use and tech teams to integrate with. This is what we looked for in a control room product. The must haves."

The aforementioned bank is one of several large, global clients already using Compliance Control Room—industry partners that helped steer the direction and development of Star's newest solution. "Whenever you launch a new product, it's essential to have good partners who believe in you and are willing to collaborate and help drive requirements," says Star CEO Jennifer Sun. "This gave us the confidence to know that what we built with Compliance Control Room is truly a product that works for large, complex financial institutions who are managing hundreds and thousands of deals a year."

Compliance Control Room surfaces potential conflicts from across the business by analyzing deal data along with data from other enterprise applications to perform automated conflicts checks. Data sources can include employee and client data, trading systems, litigation databases, credit systems, sanction systems, and PEP data sources. Compliance Control Room also allows for integration with CRM systems, allowing sales teams to create deals within their company's CRM and have that data flow seamlessly into Compliance Control Room.

Compliance Control Room occupies a complementary market space to that of Star's employee conflicts monitoring product, and was hence a natural area for Star to extend into. Encouraged by clients who found themselves handling MNPI and deal-conflict monitoring with manual processes or legacy software, Star was motivated to develop a solution for the global control room space.

"Deal-conflict clearance is a complex business," says Sun. "So many individuals and entities—both internally and externally—touch every deal, and to clear them properly you need a lot of information. The more people that are involved in each deal, and the more deals you have in motion, the more data there is to monitor. The control room space was ready for software innovation."
