AMBOSS USES TWILIO SEGMENT TO CREATE A SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR CUSTOMER DATA
AND OPTIMIZE ITS CUSTOM ATTRIBUTION MODEL

With Segment, AMBOSS was able to generate a single pane of glass view for event
data and optimize marketing attribution with data it could really trust.

> “Working with Segment has allowed us to overcome complexity and build trust in
> our data across the organization. And that had a massive impact on the
> business, in terms of building a robust attribution model and enabling
> insight-driven decision-making.”
> 
> — Elmar Weber, CTO, AMBOSS

AMBOSS is a breakthrough medical learning platform with a mission to empower all
doctors to provide the best possible care. It serves those pursuing medicine, as
well as those already in the field, as an extensive medical knowledge resource.

AMBOSS was founded in 2012 by a small group of doctors who were frustrated by
the lack of quality resources within the medical education system. They set out
to create a digital medical resource that could single-handedly support students
in the classroom as well as later on as a clinical companion.

After sustained growth over a number of years, AMBOSS now boasts more than 400
highly trained physicians, scientists, software engineers, marketers and many
more specialties. Together, they leverage technology to provide accurate and
accessible medical knowledge to more than a million healthcare professionals in
180 countries around the world. 

With the company scaling rapidly, AMBOSS needed to simplify and centralize its
event data pipeline and improve data quality to optimize its marketing
attribution. This was essential to allow for better customer segmentation and
more clearly defined marketing KPIs. But to do this, they needed to be as cost
effective as possible and not take engineering resources away from product
development.

AMBOSS turned to Twilio Segment to create a centralized, single source of truth
for event and user behavior data. In doing so, it was able to:

 * Eliminate complexity and simplify its data pipeline, transitioning from batch
   data to event-based data

 * Optimize its custom attribution model and develop real-time dashboards to
   inform marketing strategy

 * Centralize GDPR compliance across multiple channels and markets and increase
   agility to react to fluctuating regulatory requirements




TACKLING DATA COMPLEXITY AND DEVELOPING A GATEWAY FOR DOWNSTREAM TOOLING 

After several years of 100% year on year growth, the AMBOSS team urgently needed
to implement a more sophisticated approach to customer data. With a growing
number of people in the business and more than one billion customer touchpoints,
the company quickly needed to integrate its customer data into a single
platform. And it needed more accurate data, better segmentation and more clearly
defined KPIs to support its next stage of growth. 

AMBOSS’ customer data was largely based on a direct copy of the production
database and the concept of event-based data pipelines was a long way off.  Data
was dispersed across a large number of places, resulting in massive complexity
and making it impossible to understand dependencies and triggers for events
across channels. It also made it difficult to identify the root causes of any
issues across the marketing tech stack and resolve them quickly.

Elmar Weber, CTO at AMBOSS, recognized the need to simplify the data pipeline
and switch to an event-based approach to support key business priorities. Having
successfully deployed Twilio Segment in two previous roles, Elmar was aware of
the wide range of benefits that Twilio Segment could deliver in terms of
creating a single source of truth for all event data and improving data quality,
whilst ensuring compliance across a complex and dynamic regulatory environment. 

Elmar knew that other vendors on the market simply didn’t offer the same
capabilities and functionality as Twilio Segment and there was little appetite
to use internal engineering resources to tackle this challenge. AMBOSS needed
its engineering teams focused on product development to maintain its market
leading position and drive future growth. 




CREATING A SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH TO DRIVE A NEW ATTRIBUTION MODEL FOR CHANNEL
PERFORMANCE

AMBOSS brought in Twilio Segment to integrate multiple data sources into a
single customer data platform (CDP) and manage its data across all sources.

The company uses BigQuery as its data warehouse and a number of different
analytics tools, including Google Analytics and Indicative. 

With Twilio Segment CDP in place, AMBOSS is now able to capture data from every
type of interaction and touchpoint – for instance page views, user clicks and
purchases - into a single repository in a standardized way.  

This has enabled a more detailed and nuanced marketing attribution, in turn
empowering the marketing team members to assess performance across channels,
understand historical trends and plan ahead. In the past, it was difficult to
understand the impact of different channels due to channel-specific "siloed"
views, and it was also difficult to compare performance across campaigns on a
consistent basis. By combining several sources, Twilio Segment has helped build
out a single, reliable source of truth.

Twilio Segment provides marketing managers with visibility on campaign and team
performance through real-time dashboards and enables them to make insight-driven
decisions based on trusted data.

An additional benefit of Twilio Segment is that it allows AMBOSS to respond more
quickly to changes in compliance requirements. Because all customer data is now
routed through Twilio Segment, AMBOSS is able to manage policies centrally
around data security and privacy - for instance, in relation to GDPR. Twilio
Segment is now viewed internally as a critical solution for data compliance. 

Twilio Segment is deployed across all of AMBOSS’ engineering and data teams.
Engineers are responsible for ensuring all events are entered into Twilio
Segment and data teams then process the data and use it for attribution and
decision-making. 

More recently, AMBOSS has also started to use Twilio Segment Protocols as a
communication tool between engineers, product managers and data analysts. It
allows teams to share and collaborate on documentation around events and
facilitates dialogue between key stakeholders.




BUILDING TRUST IN DATA AND OPTIMIZING DECISION-MAKING TO SUPPORT FUTURE GROWTH

By deploying Twilio Segment, AMBOSS has created a single source of truth for
customer data, around which the whole organization can benchmark, collaborate
and plan. It has enabled teams to make confident decisions more quickly and
immediately assess the impact of marketing activities across channels in
real-time. And it’s eased the burden of regulatory compliance through
centralized management of all data policies. 

Over time, this new level of insight in attribution is expected to lead to
improvements in marketing acquisition KPIs and faster product and customer
experience iteration.

What’s next? AMBOSS is looking to expand its use of Twilio Segment Protocols to
further optimize the quality of its data. The team is also exploring how to
simplify the management of its outbound marketing activities. There is an
appetite to optimize campaigns across multiple destinations using Twilio Segment
as the single source of truth for customer segmentation.

Success Metrics

 * Increased self service across the product and analytics organizations,
   allowing user behavior analysis by all product managers and user researchers.

 * Reduced time to insights from days to minutes. 

 * Freed up massive amounts of time for product analysts to focus on advanced
   topics.
