Revenue Growth Platform (9526907914)

We used to live in a product-centric world, where companies were built in siloes to
effectively pump out products in a transactional fashion. Companies did not need to be so
connected to customers to succeed. We have now moved into a service-oriented world,
because customers demand results and outcomes, instead of products.
Expectations towards companies have increased and products aren't any longer the only
element considered when buyers make their decisions. According to a study, buyers are 5.2
times more likely to purchase from companies with a great customer experience. We truly
live in a time where customer-centric companies flourish, a time which Forrester calls 'The
Age of the Customer.'

To succeed in this new world, companies need to have an increased focus on the whole
customer lifecycle and they need to become more connected with customers in all stages of
the journey. This means that both how the organization and technology are set up need to
change, to be able to deliver a differentiated experience. To deliver on this differentiated
experience, successful organizations are built with platform thinking, where roles, processes
and technology steer customers as predictably as a factory line creates high-quality products
99.9% of the time.
