Overcome your digital challenges to maximize the ROI on your CX platform
At the heart of digitalization is the customer. Now more than ever, customers need to feel valued and excited by the brands they interact with. So, if a business’ customer experience isn’t up to standard they risk losing both customers and revenue. To optimize digital processes and deliver extraordinary CX, enterprises must invest in expensive solutions that promise scalability and state-of-the-art toolsets. However, they often lack the expertise and infrastructure to support them. Purchasing a CX solution isn’t enough, brands must ensure they are leveraging it to its full capabilities, to realize the highest ROI and ensure cost-efficiency.
To achieve this, it is key for brands to identify pain points, both within their digital marketing ecosystems and for their customers. By acknowledging challenges within their technology stacks, business processes and infrastructure, and developing strategies to overcome them, businesses can ensure superior CX delivery and boost revenue while driving down unnecessary costs.
Identifying your digital challenges
To identify the main challenges facing your brand, it’s important to observe your particular digital marketing ecosystem: technology, organization, operations, alongside your CX objectives. These could be, for example, creating seamless journeys, personalizing customer communication, or complying with GDPR. As enterprises invest in expensive solutions to achieve these objectives, pain points in their ecosystem begin to arise. Prioritizing and solving these is key to keeping digital transformation costs down.

Based on our experience, common areas of focus include:
Technology
Brands often invest in cutting-edge technology stacks but lack the knowledge and expertise to leverage them to their full potential. Omnichannel CX solutions, for example, can lead to fragmented messaging, broken user journeys and higher churn rates if they aren’t orchestrated in the right way. State-of-the-art technologies, such as Adobe Experience Cloud, mean there are more online and offline touchpoints to interact with customers than ever before. Yet, if this technology isn’t leveraged to its full capacity, businesses will struggle to develop full customer profiles and make real-time decisions that drive superior CX, and sales, successfully. By acknowledging and solving shortcomings in the utilization of their toolsets, businesses can minimize losses and boost profits significantly.
Operations
For many businesses, the digital era has marked a shift from product-centric to customer-centric marketing, with data now lying at the heart of superior CX delivery and digital marketing success. Difficulty integrating new solutions with existing tools and handing over data is one of the biggest challenges businesses face during digital transformation. Often, handover of data is improperly managed with organizations struggling to consolidate siloed systems containing various customer data points. Data that hasn't been handled properly and needs cleaning is expensive to process. Shortcomings in data governance are also costly to overcome in the long run. By identifying and tackling immature data processes and future-proofing their analytics operations now, brands streamline their data operations and lower costs.
Organization
Digital transformation journeys aren’t the responsibility of just one individual or department. They must be implemented by companies as a whole, with each team working towards the shared goal of digital optimization. Friction between new IT systems and existing business processes is common, as is pushback from employees and a failure to develop a company-wide strategy that leverages the new solution. Enterprises need to ensure digital change is well managed and a clear vision is communicated, encouraging departments to move from silo thinking towards a broader outlook if wider CX objectives are to be achieved. By ensuring the full power of expensive digital solutions is leveraged alongside the full potential of the company, the ROI on your CX solution can be maximized.
