In every channel, intelligent personalization out-performs one-size-fits-all commerce.
on websites in email
on mobile apps and sites
in call centers
in social media
Make no mistake.The retailers who understand this will rip huge chunks of market share from the flanks of retailers who don’t.
Informatica PIM
In the mad rush to catch up, retailers everywhere are scrambling to capture and integrate their customer data.
