As businesses increasingly look towards innovative methods for improving customer experiences, SMAC provides them with unique opportunities to engage with, and deliver enhanced value to, their customers. Social networking has enabled businesses to communicate and collaborate seamlessly with their customers. Through mobility services, customers now have ubiquitous access to business applications and decision support information that improve their business agility. Analytics has turned information into insights and has helped businesses know their customers and their preferences. Cloud is reshaping traditional business models to cater to a variety of customer needs. This next wave of forces are helping businesses transform themselves and service customers in ways that were thought improbable in the past. In this presentation we will see how these forces have moved beyond the rhetoric and are establishing credibility as enablers of enhanced customer experience.
