Truly customer-centric companies take a different, wide-angle view. Moving beyond event-oriented marketing, they have developed a holistic and continuous view of each customer's evolving life-cycle needs as he or she moves through marriage, home ownership, parenthood, and other transforming life experiences.
In the financial services industry, there is intense competition to win customer loyalty. To earn these long-term relationships and deliver superior service at every touchpoint, financial institutions must focus on creating seamless customer experiences through the elimination of manual processes and procedures.
Customer Engagement
Evolving customer expectations and technologies are disrupting how financial institutions operate. The customer must be the center of every business decision, and financial institutions must focus on innovation with a willingness to develop new products, services, and channels. When approached as a relationship-building activity, based on a foundation of trust and a dedication to service, financial institutions will be rewarded with loyal customers.
In order to innovate with the speed necessary to keep customers engaged, financial institutions need the power of intelligent automation the combination of business process and rules management, integrated robotic process automation (RPA), and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive personalized recommendations.
Customer Transaction Lifecycle Management
Customer transaction lifecycle management is especially important for serving corporate and institutional clients. These clients generate significant revenue for financial services institutions. With AI-powered solutions, financial institutions can recommend products and services that are linked to customers' lifecycles, providing an opportunity to grow revenue and strengthen relationships. This requires a technology platform for process automation and case management that supports business agility, collaboration, and efficiency providing the continuity necessary to treat clients as "customers for life".
