Vision

Vision Statement

The University of Colorado's university-wide eComm platform ensures a personalized, constituent-centered approach that maximizes the university's ability to use data to support engagement strategies. eComm fosters collaboration, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency as it moves toward a shared technology architecture and common data platform.

What is eComm?

What is eComm?

The CU eComm program offers CU schools, colleges, units and departments a unified platform for electronic communications with alumni, donors, parents and friends via a suite of web-based tools: Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, and Cvent. 

eComm’s email marketing and event management tools for CU communicators integrate with CU's source systems of more than 1.5 million records. This integration creates customized, targeted and engaging communications that capture valuable data in a dynamic and secure environment.

Why a Single Platform?

Why a single platform?

eComm provides a single, centralized environment for CU constituents to update their contact information, register for events, donate to CU and identify communication preferences. By increasing the quality, currency and accuracy of constituent data, CU can enhance engagement with its audiences while adhering to CAN-SPAM legislation and saving money.

The eComm program is housed in University Information Services (UIS). Additionally, each of CU's four campuses and Advancement has at least one designated eComm Specialist.

The eComm Program, housed in University Information Services (UIS), works with each of CU's four campuses to promote a collaborative, consistent communication program. Our eComm team looks forward to working with you to help you achieve your communication goals.

The goal of the governance/roadmapping model is to ensure that the eComm program continues to grow and develop in a manner that serves both the enterprise and the campuses/system/advancement while understanding that these objectives do not always align.

  • An annual goal setting meeting will occur with each campus team (managers of electronic communication, or MECs) after which shared goals will be identified.
  • The Advisory Committee will discuss goals that are not in alignment and make a recommendation to the Steering Committee for prioritization.
  • Quarterly meetings will ensure we remain transparent and on track.
Governance and Roadmapping

Given the complexities of running a system-wide eCommunication program, policies and guidance documents support our efforts. The content in each of these policies is directly related to the eComm User Agreement that each user of Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, and Cvent agrees to before accessing the platform.

APS 6002: Electronic Communications

APS 6002 establishes electronic communication as the official means of communication and related parameters for use.  Electronic communication includes email, text messaging, and emerging technologies that are part of software solutions.

eComm Policy

The eComm Policy establishes parameters for use of the eComm program (Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, and Cvent) at the University of Colorado. Questions about the policy or program? Please contact us.

eComm User and License Management Policy

The eComm User and License Management Policy establishes parameters around user management, including discovery, pre-access requirements, provisioning, new user training and verification quiz, ongoing audits, and deprovisioning. Questions about the policy or the program? Please contact us.

CU Anschutz Policy 3019A

The objectives of this policy are to facilitate campus electronic communications strategy, increase electronic communications effectiveness,  increase brand compliance and campus reputation, reduce IT security vulnerabilities, increase legal compliance and reduce institutional risk

CU Boulder eCommunication Policy

This eCommunications Policy (“Policy”) defines the governance roles and responsibilities of organizational units to enable the University of Colorado Boulder (“university”) to exercise proactive technology, method, and process controls for electronic communications (“eCommunications”), including the data and audiences associated with eCommunications. Electronic communications services include but are not limited to: email, text messaging, and authenticated web environments.

Each year, the eComm and CRM teams obtain feedback from the campuses that drives implementation and enhancement efforts. Our governance process is collaborative and accounts for feedback from users, eComm specialists, and campus leadership.

We look forward to working together to continue enabling CU's communicators and event planners to make the most of their outreach efforts while improving the ability to customize based on constituent interests and preferences.

  • 2024 Bulk Sender Requirement changes to keep inboxes safe and SPAM-free.
    • The largest implications for eComm include an easy method to unsubscribe (1 click) from emails. Today recipients must navigate to 'Manage My Preferences' and then submit their request, requiring 3 clicks. While less of a change, other implications include:
      • Processing unsubscribe requests in 2 days (compared to the legal 10-day requirement). So long as users continue to re'Start' Data Extensions right before sending they will comply.
      • Authenticating the sender's email.
      • A SPAM rate threshold.
  • POI Data | Integrate POI Data
    • We will integrate POI data with Salesforce to gain a more complete picture of this audience and will adjust audiences accordingly. This data is ready to be made available once the eComm specialists prioritize it and have the capacity to update nearly 1,500 impacted Reports.
  • SSO for Marketing Cloud and Cvent | Improve Security
    • We will move to single sign on (SSO) for both Marketing Cloud and Cvent to comply with CU's security requirements.
  • User Continued Education & Enablement
    • Sessions
    • Monthly New User Newsletter with Dynamic Content
    • Chatter / Collaborative Communities
  • eComm Specialist Education & Enablement | Increase adoption of Marketing Cloud features for strategic marketers
    • Basic: Audience creation quizzes (rolled out in Nov. and Dec. 2023) are a pre-requisite for attending advanced sessions.
      • Campaigns, Campaign Members, and Apsona
      • Reports
      • Data Extensions
    • Advanced: Offer opportunities for strategic marketers to effectively use Marketing Cloud technology including
      • Dynamic Content
      • Automation Studio: Importing Data Extensions
      • Subscriptions
      • Analytics: Tracking, Intelligence Reports, Einstein, and Salesforce Dashboards. Sessions start in Feb. 2024.
    • Peer Presentations: Share at a monthly eComm specialist meeting
      • Managing the eComm program at UCCS, Kayla Boyer & Eric Nissen
      • CU Denver Alumni Benefit from Cvent and OnArrival, Monica Cutler
      • Super Users at CU Anschutz, with Kelly Miller
  • Boulder Users Migrating to CRM01 & MC01
    • Phase 1 is complete, more to come to align with the transition timeline (rolling adoption each semester).

Current and Future State Visual Roadmap (from May 2024 eComm Specialist meeting)

Visual Roadmap Update for Q4 FY2024 - Q4 FY2025

You might know a bit about the tools that make up eComm's platform (Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, and Cvent), but what's the real ROI of eComm for your communication and event management needs? It's a question many users ask, and we're here to help you both understand the value and communicate it to others on your team.

Better emails. Better events. Better data.

What's the ROI of eComm?

Salesforce is at the heart of eComm, but it would be nothing without other systems across CU. Most of eComm's Salesforce Contacts are from a source system (updated nightly) and enhanced with engagement information from eComm's other applications (Marketing Cloud & Cvent), constituents and eComm specialists. 

null

 

eComm's constituents are comprised of data from multiple systems (listed below). CU People (CUP) - formerly Master Data Management (MDM) - aggregates these details on one record and then passes it to Salesforce for use.

  • Advance | Donors, Friends & Alumni Updates
  • Campus Solutions | Academic & Enrollment Details
  • Human Capital Management (HCM) | CU Employment Details
  • Identity Management (IDM) | Campus-level Affiliations
  • eComm Specialist | Contacts that do not exist in one of the above data systems can be created directly in Salesforce by an eComm specialist

Once a contact is created in Salesforce, there are a few ways the contact's information gets updated and enhanced:

  • Marketing Cloud | Enhances a Contact by layering on individual email preferences and Individual Email Results (IERs).
    • Marketing Cloud and Salesforce have a bi-directional integration meaning a Marketing Cloud email can be distributed to a targetted audience created in Salesforce and data from that email is sent back to Salesforce.
  • Cvent | Enhances a Contact by adding event participation (and creates new Contacts when necessary).
  • Form Assembly | Enhances a Contact by including any action taken to subscribe (and creates new Contacts when necessary).
  • eComm Specialists | Update a constituent's Email Preferences
    • Constituents can adjust their Email Preferences by receiving an email and selecting 'Manage My Preferences' in the footer
  • Advance, Campus Solutions & HCM | Updates constituent's First Name, Last Name, or Email (depending on which source system the Contact originated from)
