The SMG Difference

SMG is the industry’s only enterprise-level experience management (XM) platform providing software with a service (SwaS)—uniquely combining an end-to-end platform with hands-on professional services to improve customer, employee, and brand experiences.

What we do + how it’s different from other vendors

No other XM vendor combines platform technology and professional services to achieve meaningful business outcomes like SMG. We provide analysis support, insight delivery, and strategic partnership—going far beyond the software as a service (SaaS) model offered by other vendors—to help brands turn mountains of data into actionable insights that change business outcomes.
