Overview of the CSM function 3

• CSMs are a dedicated, non-billable, resource to a client, throughout their journey with Esri.

• CSMs develop in-depth client relationships and business insights that support proactive and informed
client management.

• CSMs are responsible for understanding and supporting the totality of our engagement with our largest
clients (due to this later CSMs will be able to generate Leads).

• CSMs partner with all Esri lines of business to drive account growth and ensure the success of all our
client engagements.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• Each CSM will handle max 3 clients that are TIER 1 customers (plus couple TIER 2 which tiered based on EA, Cloud Services,
Value of Current Opportunities, Check of recurring value annually) mostly Government clients or huge private company (eg
Melbourne Water, Victoria Police, Dept of Environment, Woodside Energy etc)
• CSMs will liaise with all range of personas in the client (Justin is CSM for OZ Defense handle from Persona 1 to Persona 7)
• Title might be modified to each client (eg Justin introduce himself to Defense dept as Esri OZ Liaison Manager)
Overview of the CSM function 5

• The CSMs have developed a range of activities and processes to help drive client engagement and
support internal business coordination.

• These are applied relative to the needs of each individual account. Not all clients will have all of these
programs active at any one time.

Introducing the CSM to Clients 7

How the CSM is introduced to clients


• The CSM is your advocate internally within Esri.
• The CSM is responsible for ensuring that every stage of your GIS journey is successful*.
• The CSM coordinates with all lines of business to ensure:
• Maximum value from your Enterprise Agreement (via adoption programs*)
• Your interactions with Esri are timely and frictionless
• Quick resolution of any roadblocks or obstacles
• Oversight and escalation of any issues encountered

• CSMs are a dedicated, full-time capability to help with the following:


• Understand your goals and drive programs to help you achieve these*
• Risk and Issue Escalation Management and Resolution
• A champion for continual improvement in our business processes
• Drive GIS community engagement in your industry and with Esri Inc**
• Support engagement and awareness across your business of the value of GIS

* This outcome is delivered by the service delivery elements of Esri. The CSM identifies opportunities in collaboration with the client and our internal teams.
** Where an EAP is in place this is coordinated between CSM and AS – see Slide for more details.
CSM Role Interactions 8

• The following provide a guide for how CSMs interact with other internal Esri lines of business.

• There are two driving principles that shape how the CSM interacts with your team, and how they work
across the account:

• Every client is different.


• We need to be adaptable.

• The following guides are therefore a principles-based approach to how we work together and can be
adapted over time as needed.
Business Development CSM Role Interactions 9
CSMs and BD work collaboratively as joint client and account managers. The BD is the lead for commercial strategy and sales-
driven engagement. The CSM is the lead for adoption strategies and ensures the success of existing business engagements.

Notes
• Where a client has an EAP and no CSM : the Strategic Advisor (SA) may fulfill some CSM functions (particularly 1, 2 and 5) depending on client requirements and SA availability.
• In accounts with an EAP and a CSM : The Strategic Advisor is responsible for the delivery of a structured EAP, the CSM is responsible for oversight of all Esri business engagements. The CSM works to support the Strategic Advisor,
and to facilitate new opportunities for strategic consulting services.
• In accounts with no EAP and a CSM: The CSM will manage an Adoption Program to deliver the same effect as an EAP – with an intent to position a formal EAP with the client when appropriate.
Professional Services CSM Role Interactions 11

Professional Services and Project Management are key service delivery elements for Esri and play a crucial role in establishing and
maintaining positive client sentiment. CSMs coordinate closely with SDMs, PMs and consultants to support their client
