The customer experience is a complicated thing these days. Customers use various avenues to learn about companies, connect with sales teams, experiment with products, and even give feedback. That means that business leaders have a lot more to keep track of when they’re building the perfect CX strategy.
For many market leaders, the key to a stronger customer experience will be eliminating the various silos that exist in the business landscape. For decades, teams have struggled to access independent systems for everything they need to serve a customer.

There’s one environment for collaborating with specialists about a customer issue, another for reaching the client and providing assistance, and another for accessing historical customer information and data. According to research from Five9, 74% of customers expect companies to have information about previous calls. But when all of your technology is separated, the customer journey becomes fragmented too.
So, how do we bridge these gaps?
The Freedom of Integration
In the past, the only way to integrate those systems would be to use a full-stack vendor that offered everything in one space. Unfortunately, true full-stack providers are hard to come by. Even if you find a company that can offer Contact Centre, UC, CRM, analytics, and other essential tools in one space, the chances are that you wouldn’t get exactly what you needed.
Fortunately, in a world where cloud technology and APIs are becoming more accessible, businesses no longer have to compromise. You can have the best-of-breed solutions you need from different companies and connect them in the same landscape. All you need is to work with the right, flexible vendors.
