In IBM Interactive Experience’s nearly 20 years of working with clients, we have seen the range – waterfall oriented big-bang release approaches driven by marketing organizations and technology and engineering driven feature releases without customer or user needs in mind.

Journey Analytics
Use marketing tools to visualize the entire customer journey, as individuals and segments, across channels to pinpoint improvements that drive acquisition, revenue and loyalty.

1) Quickly discover a web or mobile issue High numbers of customer abandoning in a
particular part
2) Quickly isolate the source of the problem This problem needs to be resolved quickly to
minimize revenue losses. Drill down to the root cause of the problem and
monetize issue in dollar amount By identifying the source of the problem, we
eliminate the need for bridge calls, which reduces cost and time per incident.
