Today, every company needs to be a customer experience company. But what does that mean and what steps are companies taking to deliver on this vision?

According to Aberdeen, eight out of ten large businesses struggle with using data to achieve their CX goals. And yet, our digital world and growing personalization expectations from our customers means that data is the key ingredient for all modern CX programs

Aberdeen Research found that companies that use a CDP see better year over year revenue growth, higher average customer spend, and greater customer satisfaction rates versus those that do not.
