At Oracle our mission is to help people see data in new ways, discover insights, unlock endless possibilities. In recent years, organisations have started to understand the importance of Customer Experience (CX) as a key differentiator. Driving this is the “Experience Economy,” a dramatic shift in the power that consumers have that is inspiring companies to rethink, retool, and revamp CX in entirely new ways. In many cases, companies are still thinking of CX in a silo, trying to source best-of-breed applications from different players and acting as a system integrator to put it all together. In order to compete in the Experience Economy, organisations must place customer experience data at the core of their business model and orchestrate data flows from all interaction points. As a customer obsessed data company, we take a Data-First Approach to New Customer Experience Innovations, the Oracle CX Cloud (including leading solutions such as Marketing Cloud, Eloqua, Bluekai, Sales Cloud and Service Cloud to name a few) help brands unify customer data, personalise interactions and win more business.
