Welcome to 2019… where digital technologies will start evolving faster than we can adapt. Where customers’ experience expectations will rise above everything else. Where predictive analytics will boost customer experience for good, and where data ethics will become the new competitive advantage. Bottom line: our customers expect now more than ever that the digital customer experiences (CX) we provide are not only seamless and integrated but also more advanced and secure.

Fact: virtually everything your customers do on your website or mobile app produces data; data that not only can be leveraged to create marketing strategies and boost conversions but also increase your bottom line. All that is needed is an efficient way of both storing and employing the data. This is where Data Management Platforms (or DMPs) come in handy.

The ability to collect massive amounts of data represented a huge leap forward in customer service and communication when customer relationship management first hit the market as a marketing, sales and data management tool.
However, CRMs weren't a holy grail. Data management is one thing. Using data to understand what customers really need (not just what you think they do) and how to engage them is another thing entirely.
CRMs were not built to be nimble. Times change, customer expectations change, and the technology needs to change with it.
