Using one standard success plan, CSMs execute the Foundational Program to 1) Verify Platform Setup, 2) Encourage System Admin Training, 3) Encourage focus on Change Management, and 4) Encourage End User Training. And, with the Digital Transformation Framework, the CSM consults with and directs customers to 1) understand their end game, 2) understand the keys to a successful journey, 3) envision end-to-end process optimization with BlackLine, 4) organize their journey based on the nine foundational process optimization strategies (The BlackLine Nine) and Governance, 5) assess their current state and develop a BluePrint for process optimization, and 6) optimize processes using the 7 steps to process optimization.

　　CSMs partner with Lead Account Managers to design and drive a digital transformation roadmap (BluePrint) leveraging BlackLine. The CSM partners with Lead Account Managers to develop a plan to deploy the key elements of the Digital Transformation Framework to advance the customers' digital transformation journey. The CSM challenges the customer's processes and designs innovative solutions to advance the customers' digital transformation journey, increasing adoption and expansion of BlackLine, preventing attrition and churn, and continually enriching the customer experience.

　　The CSM leverages their BlackLine expertise; their process optimization expertise; their accounting and internal controls, financial analysis, invoice to cash, and/or intercompany operations experience; as well as their professional judgment, to provide leading practice optimization strategies, insights, and deliverables.
