A "Customer State Marketing Engine" is a software that allows you to listen to event (e.g. registers for newsletter) and take actions (e.g. send welcome email) that relate to a specific subject (e.g. customer) according to the state of that subject (e.g. regular client, top client, customer risk).
Infogate is the term we use to describe a connector. A connector is simply a means for Whatsnexx to exchange message (a.k.a. data) with other systems through a standard messaging scheme, in this case an XML ticket.
As an independent consultant you can use Whatsnexx to design and implement sophisticated one-to-one marketing programs without the need for IT infrastructure, and without the need to consolidate databases first.
Whatsnexx ability to plug into any software solution provides you with the opportunity to offer your clients the infinite possibilities of advance multichannel relationship marketing without the need to invest in IT infrastructure. This means a greater portion of the marketing budget can now be devoted to the marketing services that you provide.
Each ecosystem addresses a SINGLE subject (e.g. customer; voucher; campaign; communication ; shipment). It is possible for one ecosystem to create or impact a different subject, hence another ecosystem. For example, it is possible in the customer ecosystem to place an order that you then track in an order ecosystem where, if the order is not shipped within five days then an alert is to be sent to the call center. Since there are two different subjects (customer and order) there should be two separate ecosystems.
Create a new scenario whenever you find that you have more than one level of segmentation in your model. For example, if you are looking at a customer segment then the possible states could be: new; unpaid member; paid member. These could all be handled in one scenario; however if you also add sub segments for unpaid members – good payer and unpaid member – and strategies to move them from one segment to another, then you should separate the scenario in two: one for moving the subject from new to unpaid to paid member; one for strategies to deal with good payers and bad payers. This approach will keep your scenarios simple, clean, and will make it easier to modify specific scenarios at a later date.
Within an ecosystem the scenarios are executed in sequence. You tie scenarios together by sequencing them to achieve your goal.
It is possible for a scenario to launch an action that impacts another ecosystem (see When should I create separate ecosystems?) or even the current ecosystem. You can do this by posting an action that becomes an event for the current ecosystem. As soon as the ecosystem has processed an event across all of the scenarios within that ecosystem, it proceeds to pick up the next message posted on the ticket bus.
Through actions mapped to infogates. Infogates are essentially connectors that allow you to easily map your ecosystem attributes (aka. Fields) to the target solutions attributes.
Each instance of a subject within an ecosystem has a profile. The profile attributes are created by clicking on the CONFIGURE tab in the Whatsnexx designer. When an ADD SUBJECT event is posted on the ticket bus Whatsnexx will create the instance of the subject using the attributes that were passed in the ADD SUBJECT ticket. Attributes from all other events can be used to implement conditions or to update profile attributes.
To build an ecosystem from multiple databases simply have each database send an event that contains the data you wish to update or consolidate in your ecosystem.
Every time you launch Whatsnexx and you are connected to the web, the system will verify the version you are running and automatically update to the latest version.

SaaS stands for Software as a service. This means that the software is run remotely through a subscription or a “pay-as-you-go” model. SaaS is also called “software on demand.” The benefits of using SaaS are that you do not need to build and maintain your own IT infrastructure, and that it can scale up as you need it.
