Slow website response time across a number of IHG’s domains

Unable to identify the source of this slow response time
•
Needed to regain control of marketing technology vendors to understand how they were impacting IHG's digital ROI

•
IHG was able to perform an audit of all tags and determine which department was responsible
•
Identified and solved 3 issues affecting digital ROI: Slow Vendors, Redundant Vendors, and Blacklisted Vendors
•
Established company-wide common metrics articulating where digital vendors are causing problems
“IHG views marketing cloud management as an important function within
the technology group to assess the vendors across our properties,
monitor their performance and ensure that we are delivering the best
customer experience to our clients.”

“
“Our 2013 study showed that the issue of
non-secure scripts on secure pages exposed
millions of web users to the stealing of
cookies and the injection of malicious
javascript. This study goes many steps further
due to the depth of the real-user data from
the 20+ million member GhostRank
community to illustrate that the prevalence of
non-secure scripts is even higher on the most
popular websites.”

eCommerce transactions as a result of just this one
security issue
