CX Personalization and Optimization

Market Drivers and Barriers, Market Sizing and Forecasts, and Case Studies Focused on the Adoption of Personalization & Optimization Within CX Platforms and Applications

Given the wide range of options for the digital and physical ordering, fulfillment, and after-service care available to both consumers and businesses, a one-size-fits-all approach to CX is not only outdated, but a recipe for driving customers away. That is why providing a personalized and optimized CX remains a widespread goal of both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) companies seeking to create deeper, more customer-centric interactions that are the hallmark of driving customer loyalty and a higher amount of repeat business.

Providing such a personalized and optimized experience requires a multifaceted approach, which involves understanding each customer’s specific preferences and desires, assessing their typical customer journey from initial contact through post-sales interactions, and ensuring that the organization has unfettered access to the data and software tools to create and nurture these one-to-one experiences. Many companies are faced with challenges delivering on their personalization & optimization efforts, often due to the presence of data silos, which prevent applications and agents from easily accessing the information that can limit their ability to identify the preferences, triggers, and processes that are most preferred by customers. Further, an overuse of personalization can negatively impact the CX if customers are questioning how certain personal information was captured, and whether its use feels overly intrusive or even creepy.
