Five Key Areas of Customer Experience in SAP Business Suite

Customer Data

Customer data lies at the heart of creating an engaging and seamless customer experience, but this customer data is often spread over multiple disjointed front-end systems. SAP Business Data Cloud enables organizations to harmonize customer data across touchpoints, creating a unified, trusted foundation for real-time decision-making. By integrating customer data from SAP and non-SAP systems, businesses can achieve consistent, comprehensive views of their customers and utilize pre-built data products which ensure seamless delivery of insights while maintaining the context and semantics of customer data for accurate analysis.

Leveraging this unified data foundation, SAP Business AI can provide predictive analytics to forecast customer behavior, identify churn risks, and uncover new opportunities for engagement. This allows organizations to simulate customer outcomes with real-time insights, driving proactive strategies to meet shifting market demands. Meanwhile, built-in governance tools ensure customer data compliance, safeguarding sensitive information while maintaining trust and operational efficiency.

Marketing

SAP Emarsys brings together both customer and operational data from across the business to feed the omni-channel experience. Marketing teams can consolidate and enrich customer data to deliver personalized experiences that drive higher engagement and customer loyalty by personalizing every customer interaction. This leads to accelerated deal progression, improved conversions, and reduced acquisition costs, all while ensuring contextual, connected interactions across channels with a shared view of account, contact, and engagement data.

With a unified data landscape, SAP Business AI enhances ROI by using AI agents to improve processes, tools, and product features. This enables organizations to forecast campaign performance, assess customer outcomes, suggest products, and refine engagement strategies across channels.
