'Intelligence, Predictability And Analytics To Be Key Growth Drivers For CRM'

What are the new and emerging trends in CRM, especially in the BFSI industry?
In the years to come, Intelligence, predictability and analytics will be the key growth drivers for CRM along with customer experience. The BSFI industry is evolving to take on the competition posed by non-conventional players and CRM is playing a significant role in helping industry participants.

The days of reactive customer relationship management are over. Today banks are talking more about experience and convenience. With analytics getting integrated with CRM, banks are managing more data than ever before. Newer data streams are emerging and getting translated into actionable insights. Banks are also increasingly looking at mobility and solutions on the cloud.
