Forbes just published Louis Columbus’s list of the Top 10 Technologies for Customer Experience. These and other insights are based on Gartner’s recent webinar The Top 10 Strategic Technologies for the Customer Experience. The webinar provides rankings and case studies of which technologies are most effective at improving the customer experience based on interviews with Chief Customer Officers. The top ten technologies that Chief Customer Officers say are the most important for enhancing customer experience include Customer Service and Support, Sales Force Automation, Voice of the Customer (including surveys), Content Management, Business Process Management, Customer Analytics (including modelling and insight), Security & Privacy Management, and e-Commerce.
