01 · Context

Context

Avanoo operates in the market of software expense governance (SAM, FinOps, shadow IT discovery). In this sector, client need is rarely permanent: it becomes critical during specific organizational events, such as CIO recruitment, mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, security incidents, or certification processes. These moments last a few weeks, sometimes a few months; beyond that, the company has already equipped itself or eased the pressure.

Avanoo's target audience (CIO, CISO, Head of FinOps, SAM Manager, DPO, Procurement) is also overwhelmed with solicitations. Classic outbound approaches based on static criteria (size, sector, ARR) almost always arrive out of window, either too early or too late. Without precise intent signals, the pipeline is inherently inefficient.

02 · Objective

Objective

Build an outbound acquisition system that reaches the company exactly when it is moving on SAM / FinOps / security topics. The idea: replace blind prospecting with an orchestrated capture of precise business intent signals.

  • Identify the 22 key signals that trigger a real SAM/FinOps need: HR (CIO/CISO/FinOps hire), M&A/spin-off, fundraising, hyper-growth, SOC2/ISO27001/HIPAA certifications, SSO migration, security incident, SAM/ITSM RFP, cyber trade shows, active bug bounty, stack changes.
  • Continuously capture these signals via public sources + LinkedIn + specialized scrapers, no human monitoring.
  • Score and prioritize into tiers (T1 hot, T2 qualified, T3 nurturing) according to the nature and combination of emitted signals.
  • Activate with contextualized outbound: each message references the trigger signal to break away from generic cold sequences.
03 · The Uclic approach

Our Uclic Approach

22 intent signals orchestrated across 4 categories: organizational (HR, M&A, fundraising), compliance/security (certifications, incidents, SSO), behavioral (LinkedIn engagement, trade shows), purchasing (RFP, stack changes). Continuous capture → scoring → enrichment → activation.

  1. 01

    Cluster 1, Strategic HR Signals

    Hire CIO / Contract Management / SAM / FinOps / Salesforce Admin → audit and optimization period. Hire Security / Compliance / DPO → new budgets + tool overhaul. New CISO → 90-day full audit window. HR hyper-growth → inevitable shadow IT and duplications.

  2. 02

    Cluster 2, Organizational Signals

    M&A / merger / spin-off / carve-in/out → tool redundancies, immediate rationalization. Creation of FinOps / Procurement / Vendor Management department → need for reliable data. Launch of Enterprise offering → compliance & audit requirements. Cost reduction plan → CFO pressure, OpEx optimization. Opening new offices → multiplication of licenses. Fundraising → pre-scale stack overhaul.

  3. 03

    Cluster 3, Compliance & Security Signals

    Ongoing SOC2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA certification → continuous mapping essential. SSO Migration Okta / Azure AD / OneLogin → access centralization + shadow IT audit. Security incident / data breach → absolute priority, immediate remediation. Active bug bounty → security maturity, park visibility needed.

  4. 04

    Cluster 4, LinkedIn Behavioral Signals

    Engagement on competitors (likes / comments) = active solution evaluation. Engagement on cybersecurity posts = recent interest. Engagement on IT / SaaS / SAM purchasing posts = increased cost sensitivity. Participation in FIC / RSA / Infosec trade shows = budget + decision-makers present.

  5. 05

    Cluster 5, Active Purchasing Signals

    Published RFP / SAM / ITSM / CASB tenders → explicit purchase intent, maximum prioritization. New CRM/ERP stack (Salesforce/SAP/NetSuite/ServiceNow) → satellite tool rationalization. New security stack (Palo Alto/Netskope/Fortinet) → SaaS park alignment. AI / Shadow AI adoption → governance need.

  6. 06

    Composite Scoring & Tiering

    Weighted scoring engine: nature of signals (RFP > LinkedIn engagement > hire), freshness (signal < 30 days = strong, > 90 days = weak), combination (RFP + CISO hire = absolute T1), persona relevance (CISO/CIO/FinOps Director > IT Manager). Output: Tier 1 (D+1 activation), Tier 2 (standard sequence), Tier 3 (nurturing).

  7. 07

    Enrichment & Contextualized Outbound

    Clay / Apollo / Dropcontact for decision-maker enrichment + company context. Lemlist sequences by tier and by persona, message explicitly referencing the trigger signal (e.g., "Regarding your SAM RFP published last week...", "Following your arrival as CISO at X..."). CRM Pipedrive/HubSpot synchronization with full context.

04 · Results

Results

Avanoo now has an outbound acquisition system that reaches its prospects at the precise moment of need, a decisive advantage in a market where the window of opportunity lasts only a few weeks.

  • 22 business intent signals continuously captured, across the 5 critical SAM/FinOps axes (HR, organizational, compliance, behavioral, purchasing).
  • Automatic T1/T2/T3 prioritization: sales reps focus effort on accounts in active window (T1) instead of spray-and-pray.
  • Contextualized outbound: each message references the trigger signal, significantly higher open and response rates than generic cold sequences in this saturated segment.
  • Pipeline generated on accounts with active intent, better conversion to meetings and opportunities vs. classic prospecting based on static criteria.
  • Autonomous end-to-end system: capture → scoring → enrichment → activation → CRM, with no human intervention except final qualification.
Testimonial

“Our market is won on timing: in the 12 months following the arrival of a new CISO or the finalization of a certification, the SAM need is maximal. Uclic built us the system that detects these moments at scale and puts us in front of accounts during their window.”
