This week we talked customer experience and the need for smart technology. We also looked at Employee Engagement — how it can improve the bottom line, and the Cloud growth within Europe.

We hear the three magic words thrown around day after day. We know providing a positive customer experience is critical for any business, we read numerous articles, examine various solutions, reach out to analysts. But what do we really need to foster a positive company-customer relationship? According to Tjeerd Brenninkmeijer (@tbrenninkmeijer) in his article CXM - A Strategy That Really Needs Smart Technology, smart technology is key.
To truly realize the CXM vision, any enterprise must create an environment where content is truly liquid and dynamic.
