CUSTOMER: BLUEWOLF
Attributable to Corinne Sklar, Vice President, Marketing, Bluewolf
"Our challenge at Bluewolf is to increase enterprise knowledge-sharing both internally and externally. In encouraging this culture shift, we see gamification as an important part of the change management strategy. We are seeing a growing trend for integrating game mechanics into more traditional enterprise based services such as CRM and collaboration suites. The gamification of the enterprise and workplace provides the motivation to share data, improve customer insight and collaborate. We've seen the success internally and, with partners like Bunchball, we anticipate similar success with clients."
