Big Data and a Holistic Approach to Customer Experience

These days, nearly every conversation with a customer turns, at some point, to a discussion of how to use big data as a competitive advantage, especially when it comes to the customer experience. With the proliferation of smart mobile devices and the emergence of social media, customer interaction channels and data have exploded and so have customer expectations.

The real potential of big data when it comes to the customer experience is in using it to gain a holistic understanding of the customer beyond the transactional relationship in terms of needs and motivations.
