Overall findings: Connecting with Experts

• Key user quotes

– “I like seeing human faces, people, positive images.”

– “…I feel empowered.”

– “If it came down to IBM and a competitor for a solution- neck to neck tie- this would push me to IBM.”

– “This is new, different from other sites. Puts a face to people behind the scenes. Makes me confident about the product and the enterprise.”

– “Shows IBM is serious about helping the customer and not just selling the product.”

– “Brilliant!”

Experts area was a huge winner with participants, even if some reported they weren’t sure if they would use it.

Instilled feelings of confidence, trust, empowerment, and partnership with IBM.

Competitive advantage! Differentiator for IBM.

Up to date content is critical. Out dated blogs, twitter entries, etc., from experts will impact the usefulness and perceptions of confidence and trust.
