Increasing efficiency, productivity, and relevancy within sales and support interactions is critical to meeting the demand for more personalized, relevant, and timely customer engagements. The days of one-size-fits-all marketing and engagement are long gone, and organizations need to deploy cutting-edge AI technology that enables them to maximize the customer, product, and service data they hold within their customer relationship management (CRM) system while minimizing the additional effort and expense that accompanies a traditional 1:1 engagement strategy.
The market for AI is expected to balloon over the coming years. Futurum Intelligence forecasts that the global annual spending on AI software will reach $164 billion annually by 2027, up from $115 billion in 2023. However, the use cases that generate the most investment generally have access to granular, segmented data, and can quickly generate a return on investment (ROI), and extend value across the entire organization.
In our latest Research Brief, Leveraging Intelligence to Maximize the Value of CRM Data, completed in partnership with SugarCRM, we discuss how AI can be harnessed to deliver real-world benefits quickly through intelligent summarization and cover how SugarCRM is making this capability within its customer relationship management offering.
