4. • Artificial Intelligence (AI), often referred to
as machine learning, has impacted the
omnichannel customer experience in a big
way in 2020.
• Microsoft predicts that in the next five
years, AI will create technologies that tie
into around ninety-five percent of all CX
interactions.
5. • AI has reinvented the end-to-end customer
journey, taking CX benefits to unimagined
levels.
• AI creates a decisive competitive edge and
can be a prolific growth driver when
successful, but it can also carry risks.
7. • Customers rapidly shift between online and
offline as they progress toward a purchase.
• As a result, CX data processing without AI
can be extremely complicated.
• AI developers know that providing a single
customer view is the only answer when it
comes to understanding buyer behavior.
8. • The bottom line is that modern customer
journey analytics expand depth and
breadth of data to deliver greater accuracy.
10. • AI has eliminated the substantial
investment required for thorough data
collection and analysis by cutting timelines
from months and weeks down to days, and
sometimes even hours.
• In the past, complex reports presented
seemingly impenetrable puzzles, but
today’s AI and CX analytics combine to
deliver easy-to-read insights.
11. • A better understanding of data makes it
easier to recognize and learn from patterns
of behavior.
• AI analysis can forecast human reactions
with uncanny accuracy and predictability,
uncovering key drivers of customer
performance and obstacles.
13. • Customers move through a maze of
touchpoints, each with a data footprint.
• AI-driven technologies enable thorough
data collection all along the way to find and
interpret every small link in the customer’s
buying decision chain.
14. • A range of APIs seamlessly connect
internet navigation to product interaction to
payment options to customer support –
and everything in between.
• Nothing fills essential gaps better than AI.
16. • With advances in AI, why try to clone
someone else’s methodology?
• Affordability and sophistication come
together to let you choose from AI options
that reveal your unique set of touchpoints
as they relate to your specific customer
experience.
17. • AI works it magic by zoning in on KPIs
(Key Performance Indicators) –
measurable values that move up or down
with customer behavior.
• These can extend across divisions like
sales, HR, marketing, and support, and to
profitability in terms of ROI or EBITDA.
• Using these in algorithms that produce
split-second calculations, AI tools can
shape the journey carved out by the
touchpoints.
19. • Across a broad spectrum of industries,
customer service is the #1 priority.
• AI allows call centers, reps, and service
staff to quickly review a customer’s entire
