Too many organisations are still suffering from a disjointed approach to customer experience as they look to digitise their businesses, OpenText’s CX expert claims.
The enterprise software company’s global principal evangelist of customer experience management, Roger Lee, said companies need to own the end-to-end journey in terms of digital experience if they have a hope of meeting customer expectations. He acknowledged digitising every aspect of a business, as well as harnessing the data that comes from it for customer gain, are imperatives if organisations want to survive over the next five years.

The hospitality industry has always been built on delivering a superior customer experience, and this has, for the most part, been centered around highly trained front desk staff, bespoke concierge services, and all the little "extras" that the best hotels are known for. Success in the hospitality industry today though, requires more than a friendly concierge who knows where to get the best tickets for the latest Broadway show. Customer experience in the hotel industry requires attention to the digital channel as well, especially as guests become more accustomed to and expect the option of digital, rather than face-to-face interaction.

Today, digital technologies are moving into the heart of everything we do, changing the way people work, live and innovate. Naturally, consumer interactions and experiences are expected to be controlled by intonation, facial expression and body language.
Exploring the future from an early adopter user Perspective, Ericsson ConsumerLab presents the seventh edition of its annual trend report, The 10 Hot Consumer Trends for 2018 and beyond.
The report points to a paradigm shift as consumers expect digital technology to increasingly operate on human terms.

Simplicity is a basic tenet of customer experience, but it is often overlooked in favor of a company’s outdated rules or procedures. Doing simple better means aiming for the fewest clicks (or taps) possible to complete a digital task, allowing a customer to easily talk to a human being on the phone if they need to, and writing legal terms and conditions in language customers can understand.
