Roll your own CxM Platform
4. Customer experience management (CxM) platforms are technology enablers
within wider digital transformation programmes. They enable brands to deliver
those right-time experiences at key decision points in the customer journey to
drive engagement.
However, your own CxM platform must be assembled to satisfy your brand-
specific needs. That involves buying new, building for, bridging between and
burning existing marketing technologies. How do you approach that challenge?
What does "good" look like? How do you incentivise adoption? What works
well? What should be avoided?
In this session, Cleve will share lessons learned from delivering CxM platforms
for major brands. He'll provide practical and pragmatic advice using concrete
examples spanning the financial, media, news and entertainment, healthcare
and insurance sectors.
