For years, organizations have recognized that a better understanding of customers can translate to more sales, increased customer satisfaction and reduced customer churn. Initiatives focused on a 360-degree view of the customer have gone a long way toward providing those benefits by synthesizing customer profiles, sales history and other structured data from multiple sources across the enterprise. But today, customer-centric organizations are discovering that there is more opportunity for growth when they enhance that 360-degree view with information from more sources, both within and beyond the enterprise (see Figure 1). Information in email messages, unstructured documents and social media sentiments—previously beyond reach—is now extending the 360-degree view.

Although AI and big data have delivered advances in technology these past years which make remediation more manageable and more efficient, it’s important ensure that the solution you select, meets your particular requirements, addresses and meets your needs. Some jurisdictions require technology dealing with certain types of data to be hosted on-site; data hosting, exchange, protection and privacy can all affect the choice of solution or vendor. It’s common for companies to call out these specifics in their RFPs. Other considerations include the level of precision and recall (e.g., the accuracy) required to meet project needs, the setup time for a system, its implementation and the ability to support globally dispersed team members.
