Market Dynamics

Driver: The rapid CCM solutions help in keeping customer engagement through omnichannel

One of the major factors driving the growth in the CCM market is the increasing need to keep customers engaged through communication over various channels. Organizations need to constantly deliver relevant documents and promotional offers to their customers in order to maintain a healthy customer relationship. Customers in today’s technology-driven world expect to interact with companies through channels of their choice, such as voice, email, web, mobile, Short Message Service (SMS), and social media, at their convenience. To remain competitive, companies are facilitating customer interactions across these various channels. But what still hampers delivering seamless CX is that these multiple channels exist in silos and, thus, restrict an organization from delivering an omnichannel experience to customers. Customers get the freedom to switch between different channels without any hassles, such as loss of information or the need to repeat existing information. It is expected that more companies will switch to omnichannel in 2021 and move away from a siloed approach.

Restraint: Data synchronization and complexities

Businesses collect an enormous amount of data through a variety of channels to gain a better understanding of customer preferences, needs, purchasing patterns, and so on. With the proliferation of digital technologies and mobile devices, organizations are flooded with data gathered from internal and external sources. In such a case, better data synchronization plays a crucial role in designing and analyzing customers’ journeys. Traditionally, enterprises have relied on batch-oriented file synchronization. However, in this method, the organizations might face declining profits with eroding customer loyalty. The customers raising queries to the call center would witness resistance from call center workers and see outdated transaction information on self-service websites. Enterprises need to improve the speed of integration with consistent growth and complexity of touchpoints in the customer feedback process. The data is collected from different touchpoints, which differ from one another, and businesses have to categorize the data based on customer needs and expectations. One touchpoint data is not similar to the other; so, businesses cannot combine them since they have to structure them in different ways. A large amount of structured and unstructured databases requires significant resources, such as money, time, and employees to analyze.

Opportunity: Integration of CCM technology with the cloud to provide major business opportunities

The cloud-based platform is constantly evolving, which provides the deployment of software applications without the complexity and cost of managing and acquiring the underlying software and hardware layers. SMEs are laying emphasis on enhanced customer interactions in order to add value to their offerings. CCM software platform is expected to evolve in a cloud-based environment to cater to large enterprises as well as SMEs. As a result of this, enterprises are expected to switch to a cloud environment in order to inculcate flexibility in a communication system.

Challenge: Increased focus on data privacy and security

In today’s competitive marketplace, the marketing team requires real-time and secure data to deliver efficient CX. Such data, which is used in support and communications, may include a variety of data types, such as public information, big data, and small data collected from the customers. This data can include permissions, individual preferences, and updated contact information on products, services, and communication platforms. Thus, the vendors need to ensure high-level data security to maintain customer trust. Cyber-attacks have increased significantly and have become sophisticated. For instance, in recent times, cybercriminals have widespread tools to obtain anything from passwords to secret questions and token-generated passwords. In such situations, marketing and IT teams need to work concurrently, providing each other with insights into when and how the data is gathered, processed, and used in operations. In 2021, it is expected that companies will implement tighter privacy and cloud security practices and communicate this to their customers. It is also expected that companies will offer more ways for customers to have agency over which data they share. Companies that are serious about privacy and respect with data attract more customers, particularly privacy-conscious ones.
