As enterprises have digitized customer journeys to improve business outcomes, the stack of applications they rely on to communicate with and understand their customers has exploded. Establishing a trustworthy 360-degree view of a customer relationship has never been more challenging.
Given this proliferation, business leaders are seeking solutions that unify and govern customer data across their communication and revenue technology stacks to solve problems around low CRM adoption, even lower trust in CRM data, and stalled digital transformation initiatives.
In this on-demand webinar, learn from our guest expert panelists from Forrester and Salesforce as we discuss why data is now considered a distinct layer in the tech stack and why customer data operations tools are a critical component in digital transformation for financial services.
