Editor's Notes

  • #6 Talking points: The challenges that we just mentioned can seriously affect your bottom line. Disconnected Data, sub-optimized business processes, and disparate systems hinder productivity and ultimately hurt the bottom line in many different ways: Business process silos increase operational complexity Disparate business systems drive costs up Scattered customer data and business information make it difficult to work as a team and present a unified face to customers. Failing to present a unified face to customer tends to affect customer perception. And customer perception, has a direct impact on customer loyalty, has an impact on the bottom line. If a customer has a good experience, the loyalty factor goes up and customers will likely tell someone else about their positive experience. However, the inverse is also true, if it’s a bad experience they will also let others know.
