I’ve grown up in retail. Both my parents had retail stores, my Dad a Mitre 10 hardware store that he ran for 30 years (that’s him there) and my Mum, a fashion store. I basically grew up on the premise that customer service was absolutely critical to the success of a business.
Unfortunately for my Dad, he eventually lost out to the bigger box stores, who’s current market share doesn’t dictate the need for superior customer service… but that’s not the point I’m trying to make today…
You see in the past, customer service was in store. We would encourage staff to smile, to solve problems, to be friendly and most importantly we could see if they waited too long at the counter.
You guys know where I’m going with this right…technology has changed that.
The store isn’t just on the street anymore. It’s in our hands.
The big thing now is, you don’t need a big bank balance to buy the cnr of main and main, set up your shop and catch all the passing traffic. The playing field is level. Anyone with an idea, a developer, and a good idea, can compete with the big businesses. Even potentially wipe out industries…when you think about air bnb, uber, and
Let me share an example.
So if our experiences are no longer in face to face customer service, how does a brand maintain it’s relevance. How do they wow their customers, keep their loyalty, and ultimately stop them from jumping from one banking app, or online shop, to another, when fundamentally they are almost the same.
Customer Experiences are now digital not physical. I don’t’ go to the bank…I open an app. I don’t ring for a taxi, I open an app. I don’t talk to a sales assistant, I order online.
My digital experiences are wrapped in a phone.
]Telco – enable a travel pass…
It’s the rise of digital services companies. Companies that provide advanced features, connectivey, functionality, to our hands. They are mobile first….
I mean how cool is the uber experience? Nice cars, fast call up, see when they are arrive and you don’t have to pull out your credit card.
Facebook…you are marty mcfly if you don’t have facebook…….you guys get my point.
We no longer want to be rockstars…we want to be nerds….
IN fact 50% of the biggest companies in the world are now gone.
You guys get what is happening don’t you…that’s why you are here.
Digital Has Changed The Game Of Business. it has become clear to us that we are going through a major transformation due to the explosion of digital. What you may or may not know is the extend to which our behaviors as consumers or users, is raising the bar for what the new norm is. We are past the “google effect”.
Your customers, your competitors, and your suppliers are all digital now. You can't address this change with a bolt-on strategy where the applications that make up those digital experiences are managed in silos, without an understanding of the user perspective. You need a comprehensive strategy that embraces both digital markets and digital operations.

FINANCE Vertical Track:
- Changing customer expectations is the number-one change driver for financial services.
- 83 million households use the Internet for online banking
- 44% of bills are now paid electronically
Talk Track:
The financial industry is going through dramatic changes as a consequence of changing customer behavior, channel proliferation and the digitization of business.
The digital transformations taking place in finance are driven by many common challenges and opportunities across the industry, whether it concerns insurance, (retail) banking or other financial services.
- The need to integrate/connect distribution channels to optimize efficiencies, reduce costs and serve customers and prospects in a consistent way, the so-called omnichannel imperative. Some other key goals: better identify opportunities by looking at the overall customer life cycle (and important changes in it), improve experiences and (thus) enable better customer service and experiences.
- Reducing churn and increasing loyalty. Loyalty is not enough anymore. Think experiences.
- Decreased levels of trust: the impact of the 2008 financial crisis and uncertain economies today had a well-known impact.
-Last but not least – there is the arrival of competitors with disruptive models that are better adapted to the increasingly digital consumer.
There are so many options why are frustrated with app performance?
Our are expectations simply to high?
Maybe it’s not the application that that is the problem…maybe its something else….
We are apparently all experts, professors and lecturers in computer science, application delivery and advanced programming. Aren’t we?
No,…but we are given the opportunity at every corner to voice our opinions…and the sad reality is…we listen and respect each others opinion despite them being at times completely unfounded.
Case in point is this example
Combat Complexity with monitoring
Fix the brand issue
Resole solve requests
Alleviate developers from wasting time.
Add in – nike employs more…
Maybe it is the application or websites fault..,
But applications and websites can disappoint us…especially when we really want them not to.
Cyber Monday is like the Olympics for athletes so when failure occurs during this period it’s really disappointing for all involved.
And it’s not just main stream media that picks up on this stories. We are kick to throw our opinions in the mix as well.
This guys comments are hilarious. Look how polite he was at the bottom tweet, but he continued his rants as the site failed to deliver.
Call it the Netflix effect, google effect or Uber effect. But simply we are more demanding than ever before.
Firstly the internet is an insanely complex place.
And deliverying quality software is ridiculous difficult considering the diverse delivery chain that an application or website has to travel in order to make it to the end user.
Launch it on 24k different devices. Oh I know what some of you are thinking…you don’t have to worry about each device do you?
You would need to test on 186 different devices in order to cater for 80% of the market. 186…is that all….
So you can test on all of them, so you should monitor user experience though right?
Executives are finding a tremendous added benefit from working with Compuware. They are not only closing the gap – they are staying ahead of rising complexity and rising expectations. <DRAW> They have the right data to make better decisions – minimizing risk and meeting their business objectives.
The unicorns of this world understand the importance of software quality. They don’t wait 13 years to upgrade or to roll out.
The old way is not going to deliver what we need in the new world.
Can help alleviate problems by the organisation not working together.
You can’t just reply with standard responses anymore. You must have data to back it up and it needs to be delivered in an instant.
Forrester predicts the digital command centre will be
Need to be able to see every user as they interact with your site. Are they have a good experience or a bad experience? If it’s bad then why? If it’s bad what can you do about it?
For sites that have login functionality or an app, you can see the app crash.
You now have the ability to reach out to them. To apologise,. To offer a coffee or a discount.
Not sit and wait for them to rant on social media so you can serve them up another generic response like – try another browswer – or we are sorry let us look into it.
So imagine now. You are no longer putting out fires, you are no longer taking calls from irate customers. Instead you are delighting customers. You are making them smile. You are making them brand loyal. You are making their day.
Not every call centre is structured like this….and working through such a change might take some pain….but remember what sets you apart from everyone else.
Imagine what that is going to do for your business, for your colleagues, and most importantly for us….the customer.
The key to digital success, and survival is to have a platform and operation for your entire business. The 3 key pillars are to understand user experience. In IT it’s about continuous delivery, releasing mfaster, but importantly releasing with better quality. Lastly visibility into your application performance will give you the ability to find a needle in a haystack. Find and fix problems at rapid rates, optimize performance so that more time can be spent on innovation and less on fire fighting.
