The Blueshift Customer Success team is fully committed to getting our customers live on our platform and realizing value as quickly as possible. Blueshift’s approach to onboarding relies on working with our customers on a timely setup of necessary account details and data integrations. This typically lasts between 6-8 weeks. We conduct the onboarding in stages for maximum time to value. The Customer Success team guides each customer during the onboarding implementation in the following areas: 
・Data Migration - Behavioral data, CRM / subscriber import, historical data and content/catalog setup integrations
・Channel Setup - Email (Assign IP/Domain, IP Warming, White label), Push (Mobile SDK integration) and SMS
・Content personalization - Assist with uploading or creating personalized templates, and inserting dynamic personalization within templates
・Campaign setup - Testing and launching of an initial set of campaigns
・Training - Deep dive end-user training on the Blueshift’s marketing platform.

Key Blueshift team members during the onboarding implementation include: 
・Executive Sponsor (point of contact for escalations)
