In the digital age, customers expect more than just quality products—they demand fast, personalized, and seamless interactions across every touchpoint. Meeting these expectations is what defines Customer Experience (CX). SAP, a global leader in enterprise software, offers a comprehensive suite of CX solutions designed to help businesses deliver outstanding customer experiences throughout the entire customer journey.
This article introduces the concept of Customer Experience (CX) and explores how SAP Customer Experience solutions help organizations engage customers in more meaningful and profitable ways.
