ai in customer analytics



Industry analyst firm Gartner says, “By 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human.” Delivering a cohesive customer experience (CX) across all enterprise touchpoints requires finding patterns across a myriad of data points. AI and machine learning present an opportunity to evolve many siloed, multi-channel organizations into proactive customer champions. An AI-enabled customer journey starts with developing the right processes and expertise for collecting data.

Preparing simple segmentation within a client group or spotting best-performing products do not pose a huge challenge. But those are only the tip of the iceberg. The more sophisticated the insights we gain, the more complicated the task becomes. To stay ahead of the curve, you need to dig deeper and combine internal data with data from external sources and real-time data analytics. Join this session if you want to learn how to use data to create a complete customer profile. Attendees will learn:

  • Why internal data is only one of three ingredients you need for success
  • Why complexity is not a solution
  • How to let customers segment themselves
