Two analyst papers.
A combined $200K+ to commission.
Doing 3% of the work they could.

Your IDC Business Value paper on Ansible Automation Platform and the Wiley Hybrid Cloud Strategy For Dummies 3rd Red Hat & Intel edition are exactly the right assets in front of exactly the wrong audience: one PDF download at a time, behind a form, to a single individual you'll never see again. We'd like to change that — for these two assets first, on a 90-day pilot, in front of the buying groups they were written for.

Who these papers are written for

A buying group of nine.
Not the one form-filler you currently see.

IDC's own study sample tells you exactly who reads this kind of material: enterprises averaging 60,903 employees and $23B in revenue, with 9-role committees across Infrastructure, DevOps, FinOps and security. The Wiley guide expands that committee to include CIO, Chief AI Officer and the cloud center of excellence.

The Hybrid Cloud + Automation buying group · 9 roles benchmarked from IDC sample · n=15 enterprises
Group 01 · Infrastructure & operations

Who owns it

The team that decides whether Ansible Automation Platform gets the green light, scaled across 11 geographic locations and ~4,800 managed nodes on average.

VP InfrastructureHead of PlatformSRE LeadNetwork Lead
› IDC: 38% network mgmt efficiency · 28% public cloud mgmt efficiency
Group 02 · Cloud & AI strategy

Who frames it

The strategy layer the Wiley paper was written for — drawing the map between hybrid cloud, GenAI workloads, and the open hybrid cloud thesis underpinning both papers.

Who approves it

The roles that turn 668% ROI and 8-month payback into a budget line. FinOps and security are where the IDC numbers actually land — and where deals stall today.

The change we're proposing

Same two PDFs.
Different operating model around them.

Today · form-gated PDF

Two papers behind a form. One lead at a time. No memory.

  • Reader downloads IDC Ansible BVP. Becomes an MQL. Sits in a 6,000-row Eloqua nurture for 9 weeks.
  • Their CIO, CISO, FinOps and Chief AI Officer never see it. 1.1 of 9 committee roles surfaced.
  • No idea what they read inside. No follow-up tied to the 668% ROI or 61% downtime figure they actually highlighted.
  • Wiley guide and IDC paper live in two separate resource-library shelves. No reader gets the second one automatically.
  • Attribution stops at "downloaded". You report leads to Sales. Sales reports nothing back.
committee surfaced · 1.1 / 9 2nd-asset reach · 7% cost / surfaced committee · ~$1,840
CXO Technology · ungated · orchestrated

One personalized page per account. Both papers in context. The committee, surfaced.

  • Every account that matches the buying-group profile lands on a personalized page, both papers inlined — no form.
  • The Content Intelligence Agent surfaces the full 9-role committee from intent, firmographic and engagement signals — not just the form-filler.
  • The page reads what they read: section dwell, scrolldepth, callout clicks. The next-best asset is chosen per role.
  • IDC paper + Wiley guide are chained: the FinOps lead gets IDC ROI tables; the CIO gets the Wiley strategy chapters. Same campaign.
  • Every page is HITL-approved by your AE before it ships. Every action lands in your existing Marketo + SFDC, audit-logged.

The 90-day pilot · for these two assets only

Three sprints.
No replatforming. No new procurement.

Runs alongside your existing Marketo, SFDC, 6sense and Bombora. No change to your IT-driven approval cycle. We turn it on for the Ansible Automation BVP and the Wiley Hybrid Cloud guide, and we measure against your current paper-by-paper baseline.

01 Days 0 — 30 · ingest

Ingest both papers. Map them to the buying group.

We chunk the IDC paper into 18 role-tagged sections (ROI for FinOps, downtime for SRE, dev productivity for Platform Eng). The Wiley guide gets the same treatment — 5 chapters into 14 role-tagged sections, with GenAI workload chapters tagged for the Chief AI Officer specifically.

  • Ingest 2 PDFs · 18 + 14 role-tagged sections
  • Map sections to the 9-role committee model
  • Build 1 personalized-page template, 12 variants
  • HITL review with your team · 1 working session

Light up 1,200 in-market accounts. No new form.

We surface accounts already showing intent on "hybrid cloud strategy", "AI workload portability" and "automation ROI" — through your existing 6sense + Bombora subscriptions. Each account gets a unique URL that pre-loads its personalized page; SDRs and AEs see a live committee map on day one.

  • Activate 1,200 in-market accts · intent-matched

Chain to a working session — or to a partner-led pilot.

The highest-intent committees roll into a working session with your AE, prepared with each reader's actual highlights from the IDC + Wiley papers. The rest move into a partner-led pilot using Red Hat Enterprise Linux + Ansible on a hyperscaler marketplace — no new procurement step, in keeping with the Wiley guide's open-hybrid thesis.

All-in. No platform fees, no per-seat licensing during the pilot, no SOW change orders. If we miss the 380-account committee-qualified target by day 90, the difference is credited.

If it doesn't work, you stop at day 60.

A 45-minute working session, your team and ours. We come pre-briefed on both papers, your current campaign baseline, and your 6sense + Bombora intent topics. You leave with a signed pilot scope or a clear "no" — either is fine.
