Increased competition, diffusion of digital technology and impatient as well as demanding customers has led enterprises to take the path towards personalized customer experience. But the question that still stands is: how can such customer experience strategy be measured? You can’t comment on the engine performance of a car by just looking at it. Hence customer experience analytics play a critical role in gauging your CX strategy performance.

When Analytics is used for improvised and efficient customer experience by analyzing, retrieving and collecting data, it is referred to as Customer Experience Analytics. With the development and evolution of digital technology customer experience analytics is used to better understand customer behavior and successful implementation of customer experience strategy.

Analytics is generally employed to understand data and derive insights based on this data to achieve a desired objective. With CX Analytics this objective gets translated to understand your customers better, improve their overall journey with your brand and deliver them an enjoyable and satisfactory experience. It helps you to look beyond just statistics into creating a story. The story that will convince the right people in your organization to do things differently, to advocate on behalf of the customer, and ultimately to drive better business results.

"Use data to create personalized experiences for your audiences. Customer interactions leave behind hints, creating digital fingerprints that can be analyzed for an abundance of information—right down to what your customers are doing or even how they’re feeling at that very moment."

- Jared Lees, the senior manager of industry strategy for financial services at Adobe
