Key Benefits To Working With Purple Square

Domestic & General experienced several key benefits through Purple Square CX’s Application Management service

  • Increased Campaign Reliability: Ensuring consistent and uninterrupted campaign execution.
  • Improved Operational Efficiency: Streamlining processes and reducing time spent on reactive issue resolution.
  • Reduced Risk of Campaign Disruptions: Proactive monitoring and maintenance minimised the likelihood of costly downtime.
  • Enhanced Scalability and Flexibility: Providing a support model that can adapt to D+G’s evolving campaign needs.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing their critical campaign infrastructure is managed by a dedicated and expert team.

The Challenge

D+G’s campaigning ecosystem was hampered by persistent instability and inefficiencies:

  • Recurring Downtime: Unplanned outages had caused up to 3-month delays in customer communications, risking revenue loss.
  • Slow Incident Response: Resolving campaign-related issues often took significant time, affecting crucial campaign deployment.
  • Reactive Approach: A lack of proactive monitoring meant issues were often identified by users rather than being pre-emptively addressed.
  • Scalability Concerns: As campaign volumes and complexity increased, the existing infrastructure and support model struggled.
  • Resource Strain: IT and marketing teams spent excessive time troubleshooting instead of strategy.
  • Vendor Bottlenecks: Dependencies on external vendor support created delays, with complex escalation paths slowing resolutions.

“We needed a partner who could ensure the consistent availability and performance of our campaigning platforms, allowing our marketing teams to focus on delivering impactful customer communications, without the need to firefight any technical issues”

– Steve Davenport, Head of Data & Operation
