Rip Gerber, Vlocity | Comcast CX Innovation Day 2019
>>from the heart of Silicon Valley. It's the Q covering Comcast Innovation date. You want to You by Comcast. >>Hey, welcome back already. Jeffrey here with the Cube worth the Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Center. It's right in Sunnyvale, not too far from Moffitt. And they had a special day today, really all about customer experience and invited. Ah, lot of industry people around to dig into the issues and find out What is it that's all about customer experience. We're excited to have our next guest. He's ripped Gerber, the chief marketing and innovation officer from Velocity Rip. Great to see you. >>Thanks, Jeff. Thanks for having me here. >>Absolutely. Shade. It's over. People aren't familiar with velocity. Give us the give us the overview. >>A terrific velocity builds mobile and cloud applications 100% on Salesforce. To extend the customer experience into deep into industries such as communications, media, health insurance, government, energy and utilities, we extend the power of the cloud that power of sales force to help these companies compete to transform on to win and improve their customer experiences. >>So what's the tie with Comcast >>tied with Comcast? Well, Comcast is certainly a very innovative media company and of itself in a big sales force customer and some things that they're doing and that we learned about today and some of the technologies that we saw very exciting in terms of how they're integrating you knew content displays and products new ai ai technologies wth the assisted your voice activation modules that we saw others very exciting. So you're a Comcast, like many of us here in Silicon Valley, Certainly are on ah, on some amazing journeys with taking these enabling technologies in making our lives as consumers and customers. And business is so much better, >>right? So you talked about, you know, digital transformation. And he called them the Big Four for your customers, you know, Social Cloud, Mobile and Analytics. How are you seeing those things, Matt? Back? The digital transformation. It's such a big, chewy term. How do you help people kind of zero in on specific, actionable things and initiatives that they can start to see success? >>Right, Right. So we're about a decade in in terms of those transformation technologies that I listed earlier today in our panel, Social Cloud Mobile and Analytics, and we were about 10 years into these, and so many might say we're in a post digital world now and entering what we call a customer engagement world. I mean, so you take these technologies which are amazing in of themselves. You combine them together. Ah, and then you start creating the kinds of experiences that new companies that are cropping up disrupting industries and existing organizations are taking to do things better, faster, less expensive. So one of things that we talked about today is there's a lot of legacy technology. A stack. Let's take C R M, for example, where you have very old technologies that are there that are keeping companies back that are holding back those experiences because of the way that the on premise software has been customized. And it's kind of sticking their and new companies like Salesforce, which is, in fact, a new company. If you think in Silicon Valley, timelines have come in and created this amazing experience level on top that and that we work with Salesforce. It extended even further in those industries to create these these amazing technologies. Ah, pulling up the data from the legacy systems bringing in Social Mobile analytics. Aye aye, and creating an experience that is seamless, almost invisible to you as a consumer or as a business. And so that's when we talk about digital transformation. It's not just the digital part of it. It's the transformation of the entire technology stack inside of an organization of the processes that they're following, sometimes the teams and the people. And it's sometimes the entire industry and of itself, >>right? But is it is it hard to get a B to B vendor to think about delivering their product in the form of inexperience? Right. We hear it all the time, obviously, and and B to C, and everyone's trying to sell experiences and everybody wants experiences, and Gen X wants experiences. But if you think of a sales force application and delivering kind of CR and capability to some sales person on the line, how did they rethink that delivery in the form of an experience for that user? >>Sure, many of the existing ah metrics or benchmarks that you might have as a consumer Ah, business is air now being held to a CZ well, so Comcast is a terrific example where there's a B to see as well as it be to be sales organization on divisions and whether it's the contracting process that you might have with Comcast as a business or the sign up process you might have as a consumer, your expectations are growing exponentially in terms of seamless, fast, intuitive, personal. In those technologies that we work with, the velocity and salesforce together help enable that kind of experiences for companies. Media companies like Comcast, >>for example, right? The other piece of it, we talked about a lot in the in the room before we got out here is driving it internally with your own employees and really driving kind of, ah, customer centric culture and attitude and two degree experience within your own culture so that those people are then able to deliver that to your customer. How are you doing that at velocity? What are some of the priorities that you set in this area? Right >>velocities Five years old, we are one of the fastest ah growing clout, cos actually, in the world today, one of the reasons for that key driver is our core values. We say where values lead company, our 1st 2 values out of our seven, our customers first. And people are the core. And so you can't take. You can't do what we're doing Ah, and grow how we're growing and serve the customers with the results that they're getting the way that we're doing without those two customer first, customer centric strategy. Ah, and emphasis. But then people are People are at the very core of that, and they combine to basically deliver the kinds of results that we're delivering. Whether it's building innovative technologies, helping our customers with Salesforce implement those technologies and helping the leadership of those of those customers that we have you measure, benchmark and demonstrate. Ah, to they're consistencies the results that they're getting from those investments. >>Awesome. Well, thanks for Ah, for joining us today and you're at the event and taking a few minutes on the Cube. >>Awesome. Thank you so much. >>All right, he's rip. I'm Jeff.
