We have too much work! • Marketing is not a fit with our personalities! • Marketing is the wrong word – it’s communications! But if it’s communications, they’re mediocre: Not enough business focus… IT doesn’t talk much, waits to be called, depends on e-mail… …And is close-mouthed about what else it’s working on Does a tree fall in the forest? What is the marketing of IT? The business activity of presenting IT’s products, services, and capabilities to constituents in such a way that makes them eager to fund and utilize Marketing moves IT up the enterprise value chain IT’s Marketing Plan — The 4 P’s applied to an IT organization Planning IT marketing campaigns Boost IT brand equity • Use brand to create awareness » Genesys Health’s PDA123 written up in local press • Use brand to build lasting trust » JM Family’s transaction dashboard • Use brand to attract interest » 7-11’s technology scholarship Tactics that are part of IT’s value campaign The marketing of IT is a journey – not a miracle • Market to organizations; sell to individuals • Get the marketing skills • Hire a VP of IT marketing – for big shops • Go public with the “M” word • Label yourself before the business labels you… • Be wary of over-marketing What kind of IT organizations get this first? • High exposure with end customers • A need to convince constituents to engage • Already armed with process discipline Thank you Laurie M.
