According to Gartner, "moving from a disconnected, siloed customer experience to a truly unified customer experience will be an important step in order to maintain and improve the customer experience. This has been true for the last 25 years, but the difference now is that it is no longer a "nice to have"; in most industries, it has become a necessity for survival." Gartner, Inc. Bridge Silos of Customer Engagement, or Risk Killing Your Customer Experience, Gene Phifer, August 4, 2016.
"We are committed to helping retailers create great experiences for their customers and in order to do so, we know they need tools to make them more and more competitive with data-driven decision making," said Neil Moses, CEO of Mi9 Retail.
