CE 22.4 simplifies opportunities to increase customer engagement and responsiveness
Customer experience is of critical importance in today’s digital world. In a recent OpenText global survey, eight in ten respondents (80%) experience information overload, and to help cut through this cluttered environment, it’s crucial for businesses to personalize every web and communication experience, provide customers with the right content at the right time and through the right channels. In 22.4, new capabilities in OpenText Experience Cloud, make it faster and easier to increase relevancy, consistency and responsiveness across the entire customer journey with two new must-have solutions to solve for Customer Experience Management (CXM) and Digital Experience Management (DXM) use cases. Delivered in a unified environment, these solutions bring together key capabilities across OpenText applications Exstream (CCM), TeamSite (WCM/CMS), Media Management (DAM), Experience CDP, and Core Experience Insights, all within a composable platform out of the box.
Additional enhancements to OpenText™ Exstream and OpenText™ TeamSite are critical to the new Experience Cloud solutions. OpenText™ Exstream accelerates time to market for digital communications across channels and formats with seamless electronic signature processing integrated to Core Signature, and automated archiving to OpenText InfoArchive. The new enhancements also provide no-code dynamic charting and display components for visually engaging communications. OpenText™ TeamSite is at the core of every customer experience platform and 22.4 offers the ability to configure and compose unique intelligent digital workplaces to improve productivity and surface relevant data insights for improved decision making. Combined with a new integration to Google BigQuery, web developers and content creators will benefit from dynamic AI/ML driven data processing to deliver more personalized and relevant experiences and communications.
