How Gainsight Became A Pioneer In Launching Customer Intelligence, Powered By Intellizence
About Gainsight
Gainsight is a leading Customer Success Management platform. The platform offers a robust set of solutions focused on customer success, product experience, revenue optimization, and customer data that enable businesses to put the customer at the center of everything they do.
The Challenge
Gainsight saw an opportunity to enhance the Gainsight Platform with customer intelligence from external sources. Gainsight sought a customer intelligence data partner that could provide noise-free and curated customer intelligence on business events, such as Mergers & Acquisitions (M&As), funding, layoff, business expansion, C-level changes, and product launches. So Gainsight Platform users could:
Increase Engagement
- Increase engagement between Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and their customers
Identify Risks & Opportunities
- Proactively identify opportunities and risks and positively impact Net Retention Rate (NRR)
Intellizence Solution
Gainsight launched a new feature called Company Intelligence to address the opportunity, with Intellizence as their data partner. Gainsight offers this add-on feature to users interested in getting curated intelligence about their customers from external sources, powered by Intellizence Company News Signals API. Gainsight partnered with Intellizence to launch Company Intelligence because Intellizence brought:
- Knowledge about the customer success domain to co-innovate with Gainsight’s product team
- Enterprise-grade integrated solution to meet the high standards expected from Gainsight customers
- A technology platform that leverages Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing technologies to deliver high-quality signals at a scale
- Robust APIs and data-feeds for seamless integration

Use Cases
Customer Intelligence, Sales Intelligence, Risk Intelligence
“We started working with Intellizence as an ISV Partner because we wanted to get relevant information about our customers that our Customer Success Managers cared about. We ran a pilot and it received excellent feedback, all the way from CEOs to salespeople to the CSMs, that we were getting relevant news but without the noise.
Our core capability, Company Intelligence, is powered by Intellizence. One of the reasons we work with Intellizence is because our users can receive the companies and signals they care about, and they can also receive it in the channel that makes the most sense for them. We expanded to make sure that we can offer this intelligence more broadly, so we have a view that’s called your Customer 360. Anybody that’s going to meet with a customer can get visibility into some of these key events, like M&As that are going on, via Intellizenc signals.”
