• Organizations today operate in an environment where traditional methods of differentiation are less effective and customer experience has become the primary differentiator and driver of business value. In fact, according to the December 2011 Customer Experience Impact (CEI) Report, a full 89 percent of consumers will switch brands for a better customer experience.

• Only Oracle offers a complete end-to-end solution to help organizations deliver great experiences across the customer lifecycle and at every interaction point to differentiate their brands and drive measurable results, allowing companies to create consistent, connected and personalized brand experiences across all channels and all devices.

• With Oracle Customer Experience, organizations can centralize and create a single, real-time view of customer information, coupled with predictive and semantic analysis of all interactions that can be leveraged across departments to enhance the customer experience.

• Improved Customer Acquisition: With device-optimized websites, dynamic content and cross-channel engagement, companies can deliver superior customer experiences across all customer touch points including the web, contact center, mobile devices, social media and physical stores.

• Increased Sales: Oracle Customer Experience provides companies with an automated, predictive recommendation engine to quickly suggest the most relevant products to each shopper across multiple channels, helping to improve conversion rates.

• Enhanced Customer Retention: The ability to integrate customer retention and advocacy programs together with marketing, loyalty and proactive social engagement helps to increase customer retention and brand loyalty.

• Accurate Order Fulfillment: To improve order accuracy and fulfillment, Oracle Customer Experience applications enable organizations to create, validate and manage customer orders. This capability helps ensure that orders are complete and accurate before they are delivered to the customer.

• Improved Customer Satisfaction: Today’s modern consumers demand fast, accurate, consistent information across all communication channels. To improve satisfaction and deliver superior customer experiences, Oracle Customer Experience helps companies to capture, track, assign and manage customer requests, from initial contact through resolution across all channels, including social media.

• Reduced Customer Support Costs: Enterprise knowledge management capabilities, coupled with web self service tools, help customers find answers to questions quickly and easily. This capability, available in the Oracle Customer Experience suite, helps companies to reduce customer support costs and streamline information delivery.

• Increased Conversion Rates: Oracle Customer Experience solutions offer behaviorally-driven customer support capabilities that deliver targeted and personalized customer experiences, which help to increase conversion rates and cultivate repeat purchases.

• Real-time Business Intelligence: In this age of the empowered consumer, companies must respond quickly to customer trends. This is possible with the real-time business intelligence capabilities available in the Oracle Customer Experience suite.

“Delivering excellent customer experiences is what sets the winning brands apart from the losers in today’s era of the empowered consumer,” said Anthony Lye, SVP of Oracle CRM. “Consumers want organizations to make it easy and rewarding to do business with them, and organizations that can best deliver this will ultimately reap ongoing rewards. Oracle has deeply invested in a strategy and suite of products with Oracle Customer Experience, which will deliver and define Customer Experience in a fresh, incredible and indelible way.”
