In an era where superior customer experience (CX) cements competitive differentiation and defines industry leaders, digital experience platforms (DXPs) are emerging as essential tools for growth.
Today, the proliferation of communication channels like, social media, dynamic websites, apps, chatbots, and eCommerce sites is widening the spectrum of customer touchpoints. This in turn is rendering traditional content management systems (CMSs) and distribution platforms obsolete. As a result, businesses are grappling to optimize digital customer engagement, improve client satisfaction, and maximize customer retention rates. This implies that the pressure on providers to deliver well-orchestrated, omnichannel customer support has intensified.

 

Going forward, successful customer engagement ideas and strategies will require providers to showcase advanced technology skills, offer personalized CX, improve multichannel content management, deliver composable tools, and automate performance tracking in DXPs. Moreover, seamless integration with third-party applications will aid in eliminating the inefficiencies associated with disparate tools for customer interaction – Which DXPs will enable your teams to streamline digital experience management across all phases of the customer journey?

  • Addressing rising concerns about user privacy, compliance, and security before integrating new DXP tools into existing workflows.
