  • Why Businesses Stick with Intwo: The Power of Customer Success

Let’s be honest—technology alone doesn’t seal the deal anymore.

Yes, you’ve got the technology. Yes, the dashboards are pretty. But technology without business alignment? That’s simply costly noise.

What you actually need is a strategic partner—someone who doesn’t wait for things to fail, but makes things work from day one. At Intwo, that partner is your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

Welcome to the backstage universe of Customer Success at Intwo. It’s not support. It’s not sales. It’s your cloud investment’s best friend—and your organization’s secret growth engine.

The problem nobody wants to admit

Here’s the brutal truth in B2B cloud: the majority of customers get no more than half the value out of the services they pay for. Why? Because implementation ≠ adoption. And adoption ≠ measurable business outcomes.

Without a CSM, customers often get lost post-sale. They end up relying on reactive support tickets, generic how-to documents, and gut instinct. No one’s steering the ship toward real, tangible success.

And in today’s subscription-driven model, if you’re not helping your customers win, you’re just waiting for the churn.

Why customer success exists (And why it matters now more than ever)?

Customer Success did not emerge from a boardroom. It emerged out of necessity. As cloud technology migrated from one-time buys to ongoing subscriptions, one thing became clear: customers do not merely want functional systems—they want functional outcomes.

CSMs exist to bridge the gap between a platform’s potential and a customer’s reality. At Intwo, our Customer Success team exists to own the post-sale experience— not just to make sure things run, but to make sure things improve.

From onboarding through expansion, our CSMs embed themselves into the customer’s world to ensure business value is always being delivered.

What does success actually look like?

We don’t measure success by uptime metrics or implementation speed. Success, for our customers, is when:

  • Operational costs go down
  • Internal adoption goes up
  • Decision-making gets faster
  • New markets are entered faster
  • Transformation doesn’t stall—it scales

We track this using real engagement: telemetry, stakeholder interviews, weekly check-ins, Monthly Service Reviews (MSRs), and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). If it’s not moving the needle for our customers, it doesn’t make the cut.

Seeing trouble before it becomes churn

Let’s say a customer is having trouble adapting a feature. They’re not complaining yet—but something doesn’t feel right.

At Intwo, we don’t wait for tickets. We act on signals: login drops, stalled usage, declining engagement in meetings, or even subtle tone shifts in feedback loops. Our CSMs pick up on these early.

We then initiate the recovery playbook:

  • Diagnose the friction
  • Bring in the right experts—our Centers of Excellence, architects, or product leads
  • Co-create an action plan with the customer

From tweak to transformation, we don’t just “support”–we lead.

Making customers self-sufficient (On purpose)

Yes, our CSMs are proactive. But they’re also quietly working behind the scenes to make themselves less needed.

How?

  • Sharing contextual, industry-relevant enablement
  • Connecting customers with peer communities
  • Curating knowledge bases and on-demand learning paths
  • Hosting value-driven webinars, not feature dumps

We want our customers to feel empowered, not dependent.  Because real success is when you don’t need to call us for every little thing—but you know we’ll be there when it counts.

Advocacy that truly alters policy

One of our customers consistently used fewer hours than their minimum plan required.  Most vendors would’ve shrugged and moved on.

We didn’t.

Instead, our CSM dug into the data and made a business case, and collaborated across Finance, Product, and Ops to develop a new custom support tier. This wasn’t about giving discounts. It was about value alignment.

What was the outcome?

  • A happier, stickier customer
  • Better forecasting internally
  • A new model we replicate across similar accounts

This is what real customer advocacy looks like: driving change inside the company so the customer succeeds on the outside.

Measuring what matters

We employ every tool in the book—but we don’t just track metrics for vanity. We use:

  • NPS (Net Promoter Score) every 90 days
  • CSAT after each touchpoint
  • Mid-project and post-implementation surveys
  • Customer Effort Score to track ease of use
  • Qualitative insights from QBRs and MSRs

Every single data point gets reviewed by our Global Lead of Customer Success, and the insights flow straight into our customer strategies.

Negative feedback doesn’t go into a folder.  It becomes a project.

Positive feedback?  We double down on what’s working—and scale it globally.

The Intwo difference: What you won’t get from others

Let’s be real: there are plenty of cloud providers out there.  Most say they do customer success.  But what they really offer is reactive support dressed up as “partnership.”

At Intwo, Customer Success is a discipline, not a department.

  • We align from day one—with onboarding playbooks that are tailored to business outcomes.
  • We partner with local teams to provide culturally relevant, real-time support.
  • We don’t work in silos—our CSMs work shoulder-to-shoulder with Solution Architects, CoEs, and Support teams.
  • Our MSRs and QBRs aren’t just status updates—they’re value accelerators.

Whether we’re working directly with a customer or assisting a partner with their own success delivery, we deliver the same rigor, strategy, and humanity.

What’s next for customer success at Intwo?

We’re not done here.

Our roadmap includes:

  • AI-powered insights to identify risk before it’s visible
  • Deeper integration of value metrics into every QBR
  • Expanding our global CSM network while enhancing local precision
  • Rolling out success tracks for partners—because they deserve proactive guidance too

Customer Success is not an add-on at Intwo. It’s the engine behind everything we do.

Final words

If you’re still waiting to “get the most” from your cloud, then perhaps it is time to stop waiting. Partner with a cloud provider that measures success by yours.

Intwo’s Customer Success team is ready to work for you, with you, and ahead of you. Let’s transform your cloud from a cost center to a competitive advantage. Ready?
