So make sure you're doing that.
Brian NeffGUEST
31:05
One of the other things is you have small groups that are specialties, your SMEs, your subject matter experts that are specialized and making sure that you have those people in place because that's You're going to have resource gaps during these things.
Brian NeffGUEST
31:30
You got to be able to pivot and move past those things during these upgrades.
Brian NeffGUEST
31:35
I think it's one of the biggest points that, because we did, we had resource constraints with SAP resources and other people being available from different areas of the business to be able to help us get this upgrade done.
Jonathan ScottHOST
36:26
Another big one I heard was blue-green, right? You guys didn't describe it as that.
Jonathan ScottHOST
36:29
I've heard it called that other places, but having two systems so that you can just do the cutover by flipping the switch instead of, oh, I've got to upgrade my main prod in place and cross my fingers.
Jonathan ScottHOST
36:41
And then keeping your SMEs engaged, right? For the whole thing, for the testing, for the problem solving, all the stuff.
Jonathan ScottHOST
36:48
That's what I heard.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:17
And so, um, what I really believe in is a concept called people-generated content [laughs], and it's this idea that people are the ones that are creating the most impactful, most influential content today.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:28
And so as a brand, instead of trying to control that packaging, that distribution, and that narrative, instead you are amplifying people, so your employees, your executives, your customers, and creators, and SMEs in, in your industry and in your target market, to talk about you.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:44
And you can't control everything you s- that they say.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:46
You can't control when they say it.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:45
And so as a brand, instead of trying to control that packaging, that distribution and that narrative, instead, you are amplifying people.
Heike YoungGUEST
6:53
So your employees, your executives, your customers and creators and SMEs in your industry and in your target market to talk about you.
Heike YoungGUEST

James BriersGUEST
11:12
Again, you know, you can, you can look at C-suite, you can look at leadership, you can look at practitioners, and I guess they all should at some point.
James BriersGUEST
11:20
But I think one of the suc- successful kind of approaches is to get panels who, who, you know, own AI in, within the organization, and they rely on like the SMEs to pull the right in- information and intel into and make sure that everything's kinda considered.
James BriersGUEST
11:38
Um, you know, and your panel could be made up of, for example, if it was a finance solution that you're, you're implementing AI around, then, you know, you, you may have some involvement with the CFO or FD, probably partially, but at least, you know, one of the, you know, the, the, the finance, financial kind of experts within the organization.
James BriersGUEST
11:56
Maybe somebody who has, you know, more kind of a control hat or a compliance hat, um, and then probably someone with Who, who is a, um, end, end user or, um, a, a technical person.
Elizabeth LittleGUEST
18:39
Now, that's kind of the second way.
Elizabeth LittleGUEST
18:42
The third way, we were just talking about this yesterday, was a pitch deck comes in, then Avalanche could take a first pass at it, and then when Tim sends it out to the SMEs, they can look at the analysis from Avalanche if they choose to, and then they bring their feedback, and then There's a second round of Abilene's analysis to say, okay, what do we need more information on in terms of diligence? And is that diligence providing a more concrete understanding? So evidence versus assumptions.
Elizabeth LittleGUEST
19:15
about the company to make sure that we're going forward with all of the information that we really need and that the founders want us to know.
Elizabeth LittleGUEST
19:22
I think that's really important because sometimes there can be just lack of communication.
Casey TyringGUEST
3:26
You don't want to hear from a business as much as you want to hear from someone who's in the field.
Casey TyringGUEST
3:31
So Expanding your marketing strategy to include content for your SMEs or your executives, sales is half the job now, I would say, of the social media managers out there.
Wendy CoveyHOST
3:44
And is it important to have a certain title in order to represent the company or who should they be selecting and spending, investing more time in?
Casey TyringGUEST
3:55
Yeah, I think obviously the easiest people who are already posting, that's kind of your executives, a founder is already posting, salespeople are already posting.
Casey TyringGUEST
4:05
Unfortunately, the most effective and the hardest to get are your SMEs and your engineers.
Casey TyringGUEST
4:10
Even in our research, they're the most trusted source for other engineers.
Casey TyringGUEST
4:14
They want to hear from

But
Anna-Lena KressGUEST
36:10
I think
Dave DeringtonHOST
36:11
now I'm answering my own question that I had before posed to you, which was, okay, I work with SMEs all the time.
Dave DeringtonHOST
36:18
And sometimes SMEs, subject matter expert, when you're working with them, some of them can get a little precious about material.
Dave DeringtonHOST
36:25
And I know of a case not so long ago where subject matter expert did all this work and Collected, you know, gave us a recording of them talking, all this kind of stuff.
Dave DeringtonHOST
36:34
And then the end product done by somebody else didn't meet that mark.
Bri JonesGUEST
31:46
So that way, when she's going to talk to a solution architect about a new campaign that they launched for a client, she's not starting with like zero.
Bri JonesGUEST
31:54
So she can go in like really smart questions of like, hey, I saw that this journey drove X results, is that right? Like, and I saw that you ran into these issues in the documentation, like, was this right? And so just kind of accelerates that process of collaborating with SMEs.
Bri JonesGUEST
32:09
And then to another cool use case, because our Stitch AI is kind of plugged into Slack, it's plugged into all of our Google Drive, because it's a HubSpot.
Bri JonesGUEST
32:17
So it just has all this context, and that I can say, tell me everything that we've said about Databricks customer, like, And it will kind of pull the voices from across the organization and turn that into like a content piece for us.
Luke AcreeGUEST
9:57
That would be your testimonials, what your clients are saying about you on Google and on these different review sites.
Luke AcreeGUEST
10:02
And then last but not least, you want to show them that you're, I call it the SME, the subject matter expert.
Luke AcreeGUEST
10:07
So if you're a roofer in your area and you're trying to reach all the people in the community, you want them to see you as the SME, the subject matter expert of roofing.
Luke AcreeGUEST
10:16
How do you do that? Well, if you put out educational content on roofing consistently, whether through a podcast, through some social media posts, through part of your email newsletter, through part of your magazine that's going out, slowly over time, your consistency in doing that is going to elevate you as the subject matter expert when it comes to roofing.
Luke AcreeGUEST
10:31
Oh, you got to talk to Bob over here.
Mark AmtowerGUEST
12:33
And sometimes the client will want it because of your reputation.
Mark AmtowerGUEST
12:38
That doesn't mean you're going to be the PM from your side, but it does mean you'll be the SME on your side and you'll come in as necessary.
Mark AmtowerGUEST
12:47
But if you're still billable, you know, even 50% of the time, I agree with you.
Mark AmtowerGUEST
12:54
You don't have a company.
