A guest post by David Vap, Group Vice President, Oracle Applications Product
Development
In my previous post, I talked about taking three concrete steps to improve
your customers' overall experiences: 1) understand your customer, 2) empower
your ecosystem, and 3) adapt your business.
To do these effectively and efficiently, it's important to find the right
technology that can bridge the gaps across your channels, interactions,
departments, and repositories.
Oracle has spent the past three years and more than six billion dollars
acquiring and developing some of the world's best-of-breed applications. The
result is the most comprehensive customer experience (CX) portfolio offering in
the World - bar none:
ATG Best in Class Selling Experiences
Fatwire Best in Class Marketing Experiences
Inquira Best in Class Support Experiences
Endecca Best in Class Search Experiences
RightNow Best in Class Service Experiences
Vitrue & Involver Best in Class

Oracle's customer experience portfolio is socially infused at each layer of
our pillars rather than simply bolted on as a side process. This combines with
the power of the Cloud to run the parts of the solution that need the access,
efficiency, and agility from a managed infrastructure. You can get the
compliance control from on-premise backbone infrastructure systems that run your
business and don't change that often.
Please take advantage of our teams of Oracle customer experience
professionals and our key agency and technology partner ecosystem. They can help
you develop strategic solution roadmaps that build and deliver customer
experience and that are tailored to your business needs and objectives.
No one has built a better customer service portfolio to manage the entire
customer journey than Oracle. It is backed by CX thought leadership programs, a
commitment from our executives, and a worldview that your technology decisions
must be driven by your customer experiences to succeed.
