2017 has been a transformative year for customer experience, with artificial intelligence and digital assistants at the forefront of the transformation. With the emergence of new channels, organisations also spent much of 2017 grappling with how to handle and analyse the sheer volume of data they were able to collect on customers.
These emerging technologies will inevitably play a more integral part in how businesses deliver the customer experience. Other technologies such as VR and AR, as well as IoT, also have potential to affect customer experience. As we look towards 2018, we’ve put together some thoughts on what 2018 might bring for the customer experience.

More satisfied customers are easier to rebook and upsell. Greater numbers of advocates provide powerful, free promotion.
