Service Description
This section describes the types of Professional Services that may be provided by Contentsquare pursuant to an Order Form or SOW:
Onboarding
The Onboarding services provide hands-on advisory, enablement, and project oversight services for the Customer as they deploy our technology. These services are charged as Fixed-fee packages purchased under an Order Form. Onboarding projects shall not exceed six months, unless specified otherwise.
Scope of Work and Deliverables
Contentsquare’s onboarding approach focuses on targeted workshops and best practices to help Customers implement and adopt the Contentsquare Product purchased via an Order Form. The scope of the work is dependent on the package purchased and will include some or all of the following:
Contentsquare Kickoff: Contentsquare's Customer success manager will meet with the Customer’s team to discuss their journey with Contentsquare and align on their key business objectives to ensure they’re successful with the platform.
Initial System Setup: Contentsquare’s Onboarding team will either create a new account or use a pre-existing account to create a new system project in the Contentsquare platform, tailored to the Customer's contractual requirements and business needs.
Scope Alignment: Contentsquare and our Customers will agree on the scope of the onboarding based on the key business objectives and document this in an Onboarding Scoping Document. This document identifies scope for the entire onboarding program.
Base Tagging: Contentsquare provides Customers with the base tag script and best practices to deploy the tracking tag. The Customer will deploy the tag on their website(s). We will also conduct a workshop regarding Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashing or self-hosting for Customers who would like to pursue these options.
Authorization Advice: Guidance on best practices to update the Customer’s Content Security Policy.
End User Certifications: Access to Contentsquare’s University, where Customers will become certified on the Digital Experience Analytics platform.
Personalization: Advice on personalized deployment based on the use cases outlined in the Onboarding Scoping Document.
Personal Data Masking: Contentsquare provides services and best practices guidance for Customers to mask personal data from being visible in the platform.
Integrations: Contentsquare will support the configuration of out-of-the-box integrations from our integration catalog as specified in the Product. Bespoke integrations beyond these are not in scope for Onboarding.
Quality Assurance: Contentsquare’s team will validate Customer deployments, reviewing personalization and personal data masking. The quality assurance approach may use third-party tools to provision our services, including Browserstack (testing tool).
Data Comparison: Data comparison between Contentsquare and a traditional analytics source such as Google Analytics (GA) or Adobe Analytics (Adobe).
Enablement Use Case Lab: Live workshops tailored to a Customers’ key business objectives.
Hypercare: A period of extended support by the Onboarding team to resolve issues or provide guidance. Hypercare begins once the rest of Onboarding is complete.
