If you're starting to plan for a gamification project, it's only natural that you have questions — lots and lots of questions. For example, since Bunchball solutions are built to last for the long-term (in contrast to other "quick fix" applications), many of you may be wondering, "Exactly how many people will we need to keep our gamification platform running effectively?"
The answer to that question may surprise you. At first, many people think they'll have to reassign, or even hire, multiple positions to accommodate a new gamification platform. But that's just not the case. When you partner with Bunchball, your project becomes our project, and our team is there to support you every step of the way. What's more, the Bunchball gamification platform has been designed so that it can be managed with minimal personnel on your end. Consider this:
- An effective solution starts with the right vision and strategy. The Bunchball client services team brings deep experience and advanced technologies to help you motivate your employees, partners and customers to take action. With expertise in a range of disciplines across hundreds of successful deployments, we know how to develop effective gamification strategies and make them work for your business in terms of strategy, ROI and KPIs that make sense.
- The Bunchball gamification platform is user friendly. Quick changes (adding new tasks or challenges, adjusting widgets, etc.) can be completed by any designated administrator. In the beginning, we'll walk you through the process and keep in close contact while you develop your skills with the platform.
- The Nitro platform is proven and reliable. Millions of users have completed billions of challenges using the Nitro gamification platform. With Bunchball, you'll have the power of proven gamification strategies and a mature platform in your hands. You can create, deploy and measure individual or team challenges from a desktop or iPad. You can quickly add pre-built missions, badges and notifications (or create your own). Typically, it only takes minutes to use the Nitro Studio design console to set up new tasks/challenges, push them out and watch the results roll in.
- Bunchball is your partner from idea to outcome.Our experts are ready to make your plan a success with dedicated account management, technical support and educational services from planning to launch and all the way through follow-up. Remember: When you partner with Bunchball, you don't need to hire a team to manage gamification, because you get our team working for you.
Now that more and more businesses are beginning to understand the power of gamification platforms— they're realizing that they can harness the data employees, customers and partners generate and turn it into actionable business insights — I anticipate we'll be fielding more questions than ever about how to get started, and how to keep going.
