In today’s subscription-centric world, customer churn is like kryptonite. Even in small amounts, it is toxic to the business. It’s therefore not surprising that service organizations are looking for every lever they can pull to drive customer adoption of their solution as a means to help secure subscription renewals. For example, customer success organizations are being put in place to ensure customers are properly onboarded onto the platform.

Professional services organizations are starting to develop new adoption services and change management offers whose goal is to improve user adoption.
