Customer Experience

Deliver business and customer outcomes
with Customer Experience

IDC defines customer experience as a customer’s perception and emotional response to the sum of the interactions and engagement with an enterprise.

An enterprise can use several elements to influence Customer Experience:

Customer Experience Processes

Internal Processes that support Customer Experience Processes

Customer Success and Loyalty strategies

Deepening Customer Understanding through Customer Intelligence and Voice of Customer techniques

Product / Service Experiences

Organizational Culture and Structure


Customer experience responsibility now stretches over several business functions, and not just marketing or sales. Learn more about the customer experience market and explore IDC’s European Customer Experience Management Strategies research and see why this area is such a critical component of the Future Enterprise.
