By definition personalization is the practice of dynamically tailoring your website to the identified needs and wants of each individualized users
Historically, evolutionary innovations have had organizations rethink and change the way they do business
Increasingly powerful customers push all institutions, especially businesses, into the age of the
customer, which Forrester defines as:1
"A 20-year business cycle in which the most successful enterprises will reinvent themselves to systematically understand and serve increasingly powerful customers."
Fig 1 pg 5 competitive
Business technology (BT) is the ever-increasing reliance on information technology by businesses of all types to handle and optimize their business processes.
If any one person can be credited with coining business technology, it would be George Colony, CEO at Cambridge, Mass.-based consultancy Forrester Research Inc., who has advocated since 2007 that the enterprise department known as IT ought to be changed to BT. Colony has argued that the term change not only acknowledges ITâs pervasiveness in the enterprise but would also help redefine the relationship between IT and the business.Â
It used to be just a website with basic SEO was your digital strategy and that led to traffic and $$$

UNDERSTAND YOUR BASELINE
Analytics (from all systems)
Seasonality
User path and drop offs
CRM data
Get your base in check (EVS; Analytics, KPIs)
¡        What are key insights that influence how you leverage predictive personalization?
¡        Understand analytics from all systems
¡        Are you using GA? Pull your EVS from Sitecore if you have it
¡        Look at user path's - where have user's been, where are they going
¡        Does this align with where you think the journey should go
¡        Are you integrating with your CRM? If so, then pull a full year's look to account for seasonality
Make a List, Check it Twice - evaluate the installation, performance, source code, analytics etc.
When you look at DMS readiness from a technology perspective you should understand what, if any, limitations there are based on the setup. You donât want to move through all the time and planning if the implementation is going to hinder your ability to execute
