What’s Coming Up?
We are always working to bring to you new features, enhancements and fixing things. Based on the key outcomes that Webex Experience Management is trying to drive, we organize our efforts and features around these 4 themes listed below. Each theme ties back to key outcomes.
Listen - Features that help listen across the breadth and depth of your customer’s journey, that include continuous additions to our existing listening channels, integrations with a wide range of system-of-records, and expanding to newer channels to bring in transactional and operational data. More data means better insights and ‘Listen’ enables that.
Insight to Action - The focus for ‘Insight to Action’ is to mine and surface insights that can be acted upon to drive business outcomes. Starting from checking pulse of the customer, to monitoring trends & prioritizing actions, it provides clear visibility into what is impacting the bottom line and why.
Reduce Churn - What can Experience Management do to help retain and grow your customers? With modules like Loop Closure, you can quickly close the loop with customers, and in the process of doing so, help identify systemic issues that can be addressed within the organizations and help ‘Reduce Churn’.
XM Platform - Efforts that aim to build and improve the underlying platform along with the Open APIs and services of the underlying XM core platform that enable a whole range of outcomes.
Here’s a few things coming soon, grouped into Near Term (< 3 months) and Mid Term (3-9 months).
Near Term (< 3 months)
All of the features are committed roadmap items that are in various stages of our dual-track discovery and agile product development cycle.
