Integrable, Easy-to-use CRM Solutions with AI and Data Analytics Enable Personalized Customer Experiences
To deliver excellent customer experience, organizations require a single view of customers across all touchpoints, which they can achieve through customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. Businesses aim to capture and leverage the wealth of available customer data to have profitable, productive, value-rich, experience-enhancing, and loyalty-building interactions with their customers and apply them in their marketing and sales initiatives.
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven CRM systems are expected to capture more customer actions to maximize business value. These systems will deeply mine social media conversations, Internet of Things-connected products, and augmented and virtual reality for insights, including improvements and anticipatory, intent-based, targeted offers. CRM applications will become deeply integrated with adjacent marketing, sales, planning, and management solutions as well as with digital channels to provide a unified customer and user experience at lower IT and vendor management costs.
