IDC research shows that delivering a superior customer experience (CX) is one of the primary goals for European organizations undergoing digital transformation. Yet, although roughly a quarter of the digital budget is dedicated to CX projects, organizations are only now recognizing the importance of evolving the internal mechanisms to execute on their promises. IDC believes it is equally important for organizations to focus on the employee experience to enable informed decision making and collaboration throughout the organization. In fact, we have found that organizations that invest in active collaboration tend to report stronger annual growth in revenue. IDC's European Collaboration and Customer Experience service brings forward in-depth coverage of the trends in digital marketing, customer service, content management and collaboration, and focuses specifically on the European region to cover market developments, adoption challenges, and hot spots for vendor revenue growth.
