Research indicates that top performing companies are able to drive better business results (such as reduction in expense-processing costs and faster expense approval times) because they rely heavily on technology solutions.

Authored by Omer Minkara, Research Analyst, Contact Center & Customer Experience Management (CEM) and Aly Pinder, Senior Research Associate, Customer Experience and Service Management, the "Next Generation Customer Experience Management" research study details how leading enterprises increase their annual revenue by 23% year-over-year through optimizing customer interactions across multiple touch-points. While the "empowered customer" trend poses challenges for businesses, companies that excel in customer satisfaction can use it to their advantage by focusing on capturing and utilizing customer behavioral and feedback information to tailor the message and activity across customer touch points.
