Overview

Since Contentsquare was founded in 2012, it has grown from a small 10-person team to a global workforce of over 2,000 people. Its all-in-one platform, Digital Experience Analytics, helps businesses of all sizes track user interactions to optimize web and mobile experiences. Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), this software opens up exciting analytics possibilities, and Contentsquare needed a growth accelerator so that it could help more companies unlock insights and drive digital excellence.

In 2022, the company began selling its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering in AWS Marketplace—a curated digital storefront where customers can find, subscribe to, deploy, and govern software, data, and services on AWS. As Contentsquare’s preferred route to market, AWS Marketplace simplifies the discoverability and procurement of the company’s Digital Experience Analytics platform—accelerating its customers’ time to value. This strategic move empowered the company to scale rapidly and establish a worldwide footprint, serving over 1.3 million companies around the globe.

Opportunity | Using AWS Marketplace Listing to Expand Visibility and Reach for Contentsquare

AWS Partner Contentsquare is a SaaS provider that uses data-driven insights to help companies make the most out of every user interaction. Its AI-powered platform, Digital Experience Analytics, provides rich and contextual insight into customer behaviors, feelings, and intent at every touchpoint in their journey, empowering businesses to build empathy and create lasting impact. With more than 17 offices around the world, it serves a diverse clientele across industries, including retail, financial services, travel, automotive, and telecommunications.

“Our job is to collect every single interaction between the user of a website or a mobile application and transform all those data points into insights,” says Lucie Buisson, chief product officer at Contentsquare. “These insights help our customers understand what’s engaging and what’s frustrating for their users so that they can improve their overall digital experience.”

Global expansion is key to Contentsquare’s overall growth strategy. To accomplish this, the company wanted to get its SaaS offerings in front of more customers so that they can better understand and quickly procure its digital experience solutions. However, most digital marketplaces failed to meet Contentsquare’s needs. They were cumbersome and difficult to use and lacked flexibility in billing and user agreements, and they did not provide the visibility that Contentsquare required.

After exploring different options, Contentsquare found an ideal solution: AWS Marketplace. This digital storefront brings software, data, and services together, expediting procurement and empowering IT teams and developers to begin innovating faster.

“AWS Marketplace is our preferred route to market because of its simplicity and efficiency,” says Buisson. “It’s important for us to serve businesses of many different sizes, and AWS Marketplace facilitates that scalability. Its extensive reach is also important for us, providing access to customers in every industry.”

Solution | Scaling AWS Marketplace Usage for 14x Increase in Enterprise Software Sales

Contentsquare began its venture into AWS Marketplace by focusing on selling to enterprise customers through private offers, which lets potential customers receive product pricing and user license agreements that are not publicly available. The AWS Marketplace team helped the company optimize its go-to-market strategy; through guided discussions, the teams worked to evolve Contentsquare’s sales infrastructure to harness the customer benefits of AWS Marketplace and enhance its team organization and product discovery processes.

“The AWS team has been a fantastic resource for us across everything from co-sell to co-build, as well as for how we’re using AWS Marketplace,” says Mike Marzano, head of global cloud alliances at Contentsquare. “We’re ultimately trying to offer the best plans for our customers, and we get incredible support from AWS to make that happen.”

Using AWS Marketplace Private Offers, Contentsquare realized that it could tailor its offerings to best suit the intricate requirements of enterprise SaaS licenses. The company uses the private offer framework to create straightforward and customizable options that align with its customers’ needs and business objectives. Collaborating closely with its customers, Contentsquare is designing plans that extend beyond traditional 1-year or 1-month terms, providing an unparalleled level of flexibility.

“We see AWS Marketplace as a great channel for us to sell enterprise offers to customers,” says Marzano. “AWS Marketplace offers billing flexibility and lets customers view all their bills on a single pane of glass, not to mention that it helps them implement and realize the value of the Contentsquare solution faster.”

For Contentsquare customers, the advantages of AWS Marketplace are plentiful. The streamlined procurement process significantly reduces the time from discovery to deployment. The Standard Contract for AWS Marketplace expedites legal review and facilitates faster deal closures, helping customers deploy and use Contentsquare solutions faster. “In some direct enterprise sales cycles, the contract review can take weeks for negotiation and review. Using AWS standard marketplace terms, we have seen this process take as little as a few days to complete,” says Marzano. Customers also benefit from a simplified billing system; Contentsquare charges are consolidated into their existing AWS bill, thus removing the need for multiple invoices and saving time on administrative tasks.

Since joining AWS Marketplace in 2022, Contentsquare has witnessed substantial benefits. “With streamlined procurement, we are not only closing deals faster but also securing larger contracts that last for longer periods,” says Marzano. "We’re constantly meeting our customers where they are, and the support we receive from AWS along with these procurement efficiencies have empowered us to increase enterprise software sales in AWS Marketplace by 14-times year-over-year.”

Outcome | Delivering Value to More Customers While Supporting Continued Business Growth

Looking ahead, the company plans to use expertise from AWS Partners to further streamline its offerings in AWS Marketplace. This strategic shift will empower its team to focus on building new solutions and delivering value to customers, rather than dealing with complex sales and deployment processes.

“We chose AWS services because, when we were small, they were the best fit and empowered us to use the latest technology at the scale we needed,” says Buisson. “Now that we are a much bigger company, AWS is still the best that we can get. And what’s amazing about AWS Marketplace is that no matter the size of your business, you will always find the best solutions and partners.”

    DentalXChange and AWS Partner Quantiphi Harness AI to Modernize Claims Form Processing

    DentalXChange modernized its document processing workflows with the help of AWS Partner Quantiphi. As a provider of a revenue cycle management platform for dental offices, the company relied on optical character recognition (OCR) to extract information from American Dental Association (ADA) claims and statement forms, which often resulted in inaccuracies and inefficiencies. Using unique Amazon Services, DentalXChange and Quantiphi developed a new document processing solution driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). DentalXChange can now extract data with over 98 percent accuracy while reducing the percentage of documents that require manual review from 40 percent to 1 percent.

    ONNIT Gains Unprecedented Efficiencies Throughout its Content Supply Chain with Tenovos Digital Asset Management

    ONNIT, a Unilever consumer packaged goods brand in the health and wellness space, relies heavily on customer-facing digital content for its marketing. However, it faced challenges with finding and sharing its digital assets because they were spread across multiple sources (both physical and virtual), teams, and locations. ONNIT’s teams lost valuable time searching for, creating, and even duplicating content. Additionally, a lack of version control made maintaining brand compliance difficult. To centralize and organize its digital assets, ONNIT used the digital asset management (DAM) solution built by AWS Retail Competency Partner Tenovos, making content easily accessible to stakeholders and gaining efficiencies in content discoverability, reuse, creation, approval, and distribution. With user adoption for the Tenovos DAM at 98 percent across tens of thousands of assets, ONNIT has transformed how it accesses and uses its content.

    Roper Improves Visibility into Its Environments with CrowdStrike on AWS

    Roper Technologies operates market leading businesses that design and develop vertical software and technology-enabled products to serve customers in a variety of niche markets. Roper wanted to enhance and unify visibility into the digital environments across the portfolio of companies it had acquired over the years. To take a more proactive approach against ransomware and modernize its cybersecurity efforts, Roper implemented CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete managed detection and response (MDR) across its subsidiaries. This allows teams to monitor environments around the clock in real time, gain comprehensive visibility into their infrastructures, and centralize security through a single pane of glass. Roper is now better able to stop malicious activity before it affects its businesses, identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and maximize the efficiency of its cybersecurity teams.
