Today's entry is written by Chris Warner, Director, Product Strategy at Oracle.
By now you’ve undoubtedly seen the
blogs and announcements about Oracle OpenWorld. And perhaps you’ve also seen the news about OpenWorld’s newest sister
event: Oracle Customer Experience (CX) Summit @ OpenWorld. Oracle CX Summit was created to be the most
meaningful CX event, to be truly unique, to serve as the place to discover what it takes and what it really means to put
the customer at the center of your business success. One long-time Oracle
customer, when told about the Oracle CX Summit, put it this way: ‘This makes me
rethink how I think about Oracle and Customer Experience’. Listen to what she heard and you be the
judge.
We
believe Customer Experience (‘CX’) is a movement, not just the latest ‘IT’ tech
trend. CX isn’t something you can simply
‘install’. CX is one of the most strategic
initiatives an organization can undertake. Customer Experience is about connecting
with an organization’s most important asset, the customer, and the critical
role that connection has to an organization’s success. And
there’s never been a bigger gathering of the smartest CX minds, most successful
CX companies, and innovative CX examples than Oracle CX Summit.
Take Subaru, for example. The company fully embraced the CX opportunity
and their CX leadership will be on stage at the Oracle CX Summit to share their
CX journey. They radically changed the
way they interact with their customers, empower their employees, and
differentiate their brand. And this is a
story with a phenomenal happy ending: in a stagnant market and shrinking
economy, they GREW their business and outpaced their competition.
