Ovum Analyst Jeremy Cox highlights that organisations need to walk before they can run, to be able to create a true omni-channel experience.
Winning and keeping customers for life is what CRM was supposed to deliver but seldom did. Right at the top of many a CEO’s agenda is the imperative to create a differentiated and compelling environment for customers that makes them want to stay and keep on buying.
