IBM® Unica ® Interact can integrate with
IBM® Coremetrics® Intelligent Offer to provide
Interact-driven product recommendations. Both products can provide product recommendations for offers, but using different methods.
Intelligent Offer uses a visitor's web behavior (collaborative filter) to build correlations between visitors and recommended offers.
Interact is based on customer’s past behavior, attributes, history, and less on view-level offers, learning which offers best match a customer’s behavior profile (based on demographics and other information about the customer). Offer acceptance rates help to build a predictive model through self-learning. Using the best of both products,
Interact can use a personal profile to define offers that will pass a category ID to
Intelligent Offer and retrieve recommended products based on popularity (the "wisdom of the crowds") for display to the visitor as part of the selected offers. This can provide better recommendations for customers that will result in more click-throughs and better outcomes than either product acting alone.
