determination”

manual processes

material weaknesses to

departments owning,
implementing and
administrating their own
systems created “siloed
information” and master data
management issues
• Lack of integrated systems
• Lack of documented
process/policy
• Heavy reliance on Excel

We needed to scale to support a $1B
business

New Demands + New Idea = New Organization

All the system/process improvements were done while we were doing our
day jobs

•

Rapid growth and additional acquisitions raised more infrastructure
questions and if our current system landscape would scale

•

Built business case for technology transformation and focused team to
make it happen

•

Had established relationships existed across the enterprise which we
leveraged for cross functional system/process improvements

•

Hired “black belts” and process oriented staff who brought new skill sets
such as project management/change enablement/training

Smart Company (Nov 14, 2013)
interview with Marketo CEO Phil Fernandez

Asked what he wishes he had three years ago to make growth easier
today, Fernandez says he wishes he’d invested more in IT systems.
“We got behind on systems and we’ve been playing catch-up,” he says.
“I had the company so dialed towards growth and interacting with
customers, that we forgot a little bit about the back office.
“All of a sudden you wake up one day, you’re a $100 million company,
you’re public, and you’re pushing people to catch up.”
“We’ve been investing like crazy on systems infrastructure in the
business, which is amazing. Companies can grow faster than IT
departments can grow software.”

• Lack of maturity of systems needed to address being able to scale
• Impact on systems and financial modeling

• M&A execution and integration support
• Training, retention and development of key players
