LONDON, August 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

What are the biggest challenges (and in the right eyes opportunities) facing the customer service and user experience market? A market which is now very much in the hand of the consumer?

Countless studies and reports have been released aiming to get companies near the customer experience Holy Grail, but often they fail to get to the bottom of the challenge!

So how do you overcome this challenge? You ask the experts! The CX Network has just released its findings of two critical investigations conducted with CCOs, SVP & Heads of Customer Experience from across the financial services sector and with CCOs, VPs and Directors of Customer Contact, Care, Services and Operations to find out what they are currently prioritizing for investment in H2 and as we move into 2017.

These business leaders were asked what their top projects are for the coming 6-18 months and their answers have been compiled into these just released infographics - the answers may surprise you!

Within the FSBI sector executives from American Express, USAA, Erie Insurance, Penn Mutual and many more told us that they'll be investing in Customer Insight (rated 9th biggest challenge); Multi-Channel Integration / Unified Communications (4th); and Customer Experience Management (which came in as the 5th biggest challenge)…You can download the full infographic here to discover the top 3 areas of investment: >> http://bit.ly/2bhWzPG <<
