Case Management | Social Media
There is a critical need to rethink how we engage with customers. Most organizations have a thin veneer of social engagement -- a twitter account, or a Facebook site, or a mobile app.
The challenge moving forward is that most of these systems are basically a veneer, unconnected with core back-end business processes. Everyone has experienced the Call Center from hell, where you wait in a long queue for a real person, only to have to constantly restate information to all of the various people with whom you speak.
Organizations have long had a challenge with building a 360-degree view of the customer. In an era of radical transformation, this problem is getting more pronounced -- except now, the customer has social power to immediately tell the world when they've had a bad experience with your business. Some call getting your arms around this Case Management (often those with a document perspective, some call it Customer Experience Management (often those with a WCM perspective), but at the core of both is aligning people with processes and information.
Think about these data points:
-
54% of organizations are finding the rapid convergence of collaboration and social tools to be very confusing.
-
65% of organizations say that their employees struggle to access internal information from mobile devices.
-
50% of organizations believe that they have shortfalls in technical support for internal collaboration.
-
42% of organizations struggle with rationalizing the many ways customers engage with them and connecting these inputs to key business systems.
Your back-end business processes are now exposed, warts and all. It's time to get serious about customer experience management.
