CMSWire Tweet Jam: Building Your MarTech and DX Stack #DXChat

Companies face a dilemma: build today what they need for tomorrow.

While businesses have often relied on predicting the future, today’s mercurial consumers shift channels, loyalties and expectations at the swipe of a finger. What strategies can businesses looking to compete — in both digital marketing and digital customer experience — take to heart when building out their capabilities?

Join us today as we explore how businesses can create the technological backbone they need to stay one step ahead in an increasingly demanding market. We invite the broader CMSWire community to join in as we discuss strategies to use when procuring a MarTech and Digital Experience platform.

The Tweet Jam will kick off at 10 am PT/ 1 pm ET/ 1700 GMT. Join in on Twitter using the #DXchat hashtag, by logging into our chatroom or through CoverIt Live, found below.

The Questions

The following questions will guide our conversation, though you never know what twists and turns a Tweet Jam will take:

1. What pain points do you think most companies are trying to solve with DX and MarTech investments? 
2. What steps should businesses take before even considering a software purchase? 
3. Which core functions form the foundation of a DX platform? A MarTech?  
4. So much of purchasing strategy relies on predicting future trends. What should buyers look for to future-proof their investments? 
5. What tactics can help businesses prioritize areas of investment? 
6. What’s the best tactic for businesses that made a bad software investment? Cut their losses or …?
