The Challenge

Committed to creating a safer, smarter world, Johnson Controls integrates 14 leading security solution brands under one division, offering access control, intrusion, and video surveillance. To stay relevant in the marketplace, the company needed to transition from selling products to selling solutions. All their websites, partner portals, and digital assets were typically meant for channel partners and resellers, not for the end-users, with effective navigation and content distribution.

As a result, people were having trouble understanding how the company’s assorted security products worked together to create holistic solutions. The lack of clarity on its websites and difficult navigation, paired with competitors building websites that market directly to consumers, leads to moderate sales growth.

"After a couple of months of committee reviews and presentations from digital agencies, we reached a decision to choose Icreon to transform from product selling to solution selling organization. Icreon used data with their deep understanding of our digital platforms to show us how to modernize our processes. They are now a preferred vendor at Smart Building Technology Company, which is not easy to become."
