What is Customer Success Management?

Imagine having a partner at your side who is fully focused on your success — that is exactly what Customer Success Management is.

A customer success manager goes beyond the role of the conventional contact person. They take responsibility for ensuring that you achieve your goals along the entire customer journey. As a central interface between you and departments such as project management, product management, and sales and development, they ensure that your requirements are not only understood, but also implemented.

They are with you right from the start: from initial onboarding to continuous status updates and training, they are always at your side. Their focus? Developing solutions, sharing feedback and ensuring clarity throughout the project. 

They also provide you with technical proof of concepts (PoCs) that help you implement defined use cases and make the added value for your team measurable. With proven best practices, they accelerate progress and give you access to a unique network of experts and other members of the community.

With Customer Success Management, you gain a reliable partner who shares your vision and supports you over the long term at every stage of your journey to digitalization in mechanical engineering. 

Your Customer Success Management advantage

  • Reach goals faster: Every start is a challenge — especially when many participants are involved and you need to familiarize yourself with new software. An experienced partner at your side who has the goal clearly in mind can help you avoid stumbling blocks. With a structured plan and a clear roadmap, you lay the foundation for guaranteed success.
  • No detours: Unknown terrain often involves the risk of taking wrong decisions and causing setbacks. With a customer success manager, you avoid unnecessary detours and dead ends and reach your goal safely and efficiently.
  • Individual support: Each company is unique, and that is also reflected in your requirements. With a customer success manager at your side, they not only understand your specific challenges, but also handle them effectively. Instead of standardized solutions, you receive custom-built strategies and implementations that precisely match your goals and processes.
  • Access to expert knowledge: With an experienced partner at your side, you get access to expertise and tried and tested strategies. Through application-specific support and knowledge transfer, you can make progress faster and overcome challenges effortlessly.
  • Learn from the mistakes of others: Why repeat mistakes when you can learn from other people’s experiences? Customer Success Management lets you apply proven best practices to gain speed, continuously improve, and efficiently reach your goals.
  • Harness network effects: As a Kontron AIS customer, you gain the advantages of a strong network. In this community, you will find other mechanical engineering companies and, moreover, visionaries who are driving digital transformation forward. The network is constantly growing — and Customer Success Management gives you direct access to this valuable exchange of ideas, experiences and use cases.
  • Continuous improvement process: Your team working together with Customer Success Management drives continuous improvement of your processes. They analyze existing processes, develop new ways of working, and actively lead your company towards digitalization.
