With ubiquitous availability of broadband networks and widespread availability of smart devices to access the web at affordable prices there is dramatic increase in online traffic that is driving the need for understanding customer behaviours at wire-speed across offline and online channels. Customers are increasingly using websites to look for best offers before walking into a shop to purchase, interacting with their network of friends online to share a poor experience or provide feedback on service quality of their provider thereby influencing future buying decisions.
Whether you are a retailer, banker or communication service provider, the online channel is high on the agenda for every organisation. Amongst other things, integrating online with traditional channels involves:
- Developing an integrated view of customer interactions across all channels
- Shift towards personalisation
- Real-time campaigns with integrated analytics
- Leveraging business partnerships to provide Ad-supported campaigns that can enable customer retention and loyalty
- Tapping into event-driven marketing to turn poor customer experience into profitable outcome
- Quality of data to make reliable decisions during moments of interaction
- Integrated and detailed data to support holistic view of the customer
Are you ready for the challenge?
Here is a unique opportunity to attend the Teradata Universe Conference in Sydney, Australia. There are great international speakers who will speak on a variety of topics that would be of interest to all IT and business professionals.
