Retrieve Answers in Natural Language with Proactive AI
Using AI to identify and answer customer questions within conversations will free up sales and service teams to focus on more value-adding tasks.

Surface Customer Profile Intelligence in Context

This holistic view allows workers to quickly understand customer preferences, enabling a more personalized and relevant service. If a customer reports a delayed delivery, front-line workers can use the AI-generated customer summary, which includes information on order histories, previous interactions and preferences, to quickly resolve issues and provide a better customer experience.

鈥淥rganizations are looking for a trusted platform technology and AI partner which they can adapt and grow with today as well as thrive with in the future,鈥 said Alan Webber, Program Vice President, Digital Platform Ecosystems, IDC. 鈥溌槎乖粹檚 approach to connecting data across the enterprise, both in 麻豆原创 systems and beyond, provides a foundation customers can build on for the long term.

Revolutionizing Customer Experience: The AI Advantage /2023/10/ai-advantage-revolutionizing-customer-experience/ Wed, 25 Oct 2023 15:00:00 +0000 /?p=212909 The latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI have opened the possibility to reshape every business and brought new challenges. At 麻豆原创 Customer Experience LIVE, I discussed 麻豆原创’s approach toward adopting AI to provide a delightful customer experience.

In the 麻豆原创 Customer Experience organization, we focus on our deep industry knowledge and vast customer data to devise AI strategies. These strategies are based on :

  • Relevant: Make agile decisions, unlock valuable insights with data aligned with business outcomes, and automate tasks
  • Reliable: Use AI that is trained on your industry and company data, driven by 麻豆原创 process expertise, to tirelessly satisfy and surpass customer expectations
  • Responsible: Run responsible AI built on leading ethics and data privacy standards throughout our customer engagement process

Using these principles, we are building and bringing AI innovations to market in two ways for our customers.

麻豆原创 Debuts New CX Generative AI Capabilities to Enhance Customer Experiences and Boost Business Operations

First, we are developing portfolio-wide AI capabilities that can be accessed everywhere by business teams through a common interface, including a standalone app and Joule. These capabilities, built on top of proprietary AI models and fine-tuned large language models (LLMs), leverage 麻豆原创鈥檚 experiential and operational data as well as third-party data. The result is proactive, contextual, and AI-powered insights from across the enterprise, which help organizations optimize their business processes. These features will be available for purchase as a 鈥減ackage鈥 with the ability to use only what you need.

Second, we鈥檙e making our current products 鈥 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud, 麻豆原创 Service Cloud, 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud, 麻豆原创 Emarsys Customer Engagement, and 麻豆原创 Customer Data Platform solutions 鈥 even more valuable by natively embedding new AI features. These features will be available within the products.

New Portfolio-Wide AI Capabilities

Supercharge Catalog Management and Product Discovery with AI

With CX AI models, commerce managers can spend significantly less time on catalog enrichment and maintenance. Product attributes can be automatically extracted from images and textual descriptions, enriching product catalogs. Product descriptions can be automatically generated and published to a commerce storefront for an engaging purchasing experience. And image-based semantic search can help users easily discover new and existing products.

These capabilities (available December 2023) will result in better product discovery, produce personalized recommendations, reduce time spent on repetitive data entry, and help increase cart sizes at checkout.

Intelligent catalog enrichment generates a new product description based on selected attributes and tone

Automate Labor-Intensive Tasks with Curated Role-Based AI Tools

Service, sales, and commerce teams now have access to job-specific AI tools to automate time-consuming and repetitive tasks. Most enterprise tools can write generative AI-powered content. The 麻豆原创 Customer Experience portfolio now offers localized AI agents to bring business context with hyper-relevant content. 

For example, when a customer issue arises, AI swoops in to create an overview of the situation and provide remediation guidance, for increased efficiency and a healthier bottom line (available December 2023).

Retrieve Answers in Natural Language with Proactive AI

Sales and service teams will benefit from CX AI models that automatically detect questions and suggest responses.

This goes beyond generative search. The 麻豆原创 Customer Experience portfolio now proactively detects questions and retrieves answers in natural language. The answers are derived from business data, including data in CRM, various communication channels, various document formats, and knowledge articles. CX AI models powering these capabilities are trustworthy because they transparently provide the sources from which answers are derived.

These capabilities will proactively identify and answer customer questions within conversations to free up sales and service teams to focus on more value-adding tasks (available December 2023).

Intelligent Q&A detects a question in the email and suggests a response based on trusted company sources

Surface Customer Profile Intelligence in Context

With AI-generated customer profiles powered by real-time data from 麻豆原创 Customer Data Platform, teams can effortlessly dive into customer preferences and deliver a more tailored and relevant experience.

The power of intelligent customer profiles and insights is fully realized when they are personalized in natural language and surface contextually, prompted in CX applications. The 麻豆原创 Customer Experience portfolio uniquely delivers this value through native data connectivity across 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and CX in 麻豆原创 Customer Data Platform.

This means the ability to equip sales representatives to know when to offer the right discount and incentive to close a deal based on the total lifetime value of the customer (available December 2023).

New Embedded AI Capabilities

In addition to developing AI capabilities that extend across the 麻豆原创 Customer Experience portfolio, we鈥檙e also embedding throughout our solutions AI that has the ability to do the following things.

Create Personalized Content Powered by Generative AI

Marketers can now use the new generative AI capabilities in 麻豆原创 Emarsys Customer Engagement to create compelling content, such as subject lines and content blocks. In addition, with new AI capabilities like semantic search, they can quickly discover new products that deliver the right message to the right audience. For example, marketers can search for a specific keyword or a generic description, such as 鈥渋tems that are new in stock鈥 or 鈥渂est-selling products in <a specific product category>.鈥

The new subject line and content block generation allows marketers to leverage generative AI to create targeted, compelling email content that produces profitable personalization (beta available first quarter of 2024, with general availability planned for soon after).

Personalized subject line options are generated using the Visual Content Editor in 麻豆原创 Emarsys Customer Engagement

Generate Instant, Context-Aware Email Responses with Embedded Generative AI

Sales and service users already benefit from automatically generated email summaries and responses. Now, these features are supercharged with generative AI to be more contextual and relevant.

Relevant and accurate summaries are extracted from publicly available information and 麻豆原创 business data. With this natural language summary of contacts, accounts, opportunities, and cases, users can effortlessly sift through information and identify what is relevant. Email response recommendations are automatically generated based on the most recent communications with a customer, allowing sales and service representatives to engage with customers naturally and effectively (incrementally delivered in the 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud and 麻豆原创 Service Cloud releases).

Fortify Customer Identity and Access Management with AI

CIOs and security officers understand how crucial it is to secure their customer鈥檚 digital identity, footprint, and assets.

The latest enhancement to the 麻豆原创 Customer Identity and Access Management solution is an AI risk-based authentication capability. This feature is designed to fortify end-user identity data and provide an intelligent shield against potential threats across all our digital platforms and brands. 

With a unified customer view and consent profile, end users can confidently navigate real-time engagements, knowing that their data remains secure and private (available now with additional enhancements planned for second quarter of 2024).

These are just a few innovations the CX team is working on. The next announcements I am very excited about are AI capabilities in the new 麻豆原创 Enterprise Service Management solution.

The shape, pace, and extent of AI transformation will vary from one industry to another, while remaining compliant with local and global regulations. We strive to build our products with relevant, reliable, and responsible AI that goes beyond buzzword-laden ambiguity.

Using this AI, we at 麻豆原创 CX are committed to continually providing industry-tailored, connected, insightful, and adaptive products that will serve as a powerful toolkit in your digital transformation journey.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Online Metals Disrupts the Manufacturing Industry and Expands Business with 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud /2023/10/online-metals-manufacturing-industry-sap-commerce-cloud/ Tue, 24 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000 /?p=211906 Founded in 1998 as a Seattle-based garage startup, Online Metals has since become the . 

With over 60,000 products that can be shipped directly to any location, this once garage-based business is now a successful enterprise with seven distribution and pickup locations and over 100 employees across the United States. Online Metals offers raw materials like alloy steel, brass, copper, nickel, titanium, and zinc cut-to-size or in small and medium quantities and various shapes. Customers span the creative genius of private individuals like artists and engineers to multinational corporations and government agencies.

Online Metals is a company that is truly obsessed with customer experience. Its north star is the notion that 鈥渢he last thing you do is the first thing the customer sees. So, let鈥檚 do it right!鈥

Powering Industry Disruption 

Online Metals has already established itself as a digital powerhouse. It is now making even bigger waves by trailblazing the way it goes to market and engages with its customers. Fueled by its desire to continuously improve, Online Metals invested in 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud with marketplace solution provider Mirakl in order to deliver its most recent innovation: the first-of-its-kind metals and plastics catalog marketplace. The online catalog marketplace has opened the door for new sales channels and raw material manufacturers to sell their products directly via the Online Metals e-commerce platform.

麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud: Grow your business through enterprise-grade听e-commerce

From an industry perspective, the 麻豆原创-powered digital platform has empowered Online Metals to expand into disruptive new models within the metals industry. More specifically, it has enabled the team to sell products that have been traditionally non-transparent with pricing and also difficult to order in small quantities. As a result, the team can now support a growing number of micro-manufacturers throughout the U.S. that rely on a just-in-time, small-quantity metal supplier.
