“While analysts have highlighted the significant growth potential of the CRM market, there remain numerous challenges for both vendors and mobile operators,” Meyer explained. “One of the most interesting was also one of the most basic: consistency. Several people I talked with noted that mobile operators can have a very positive impact on customer health by just providing a single message across all of their interactions. If a customer gets one story from an in-store representative, they should get that same story if they call into a call center or interact with a carrier via social media channels.”
Social media was a significant focus of the report, as consumers continue to flock towards social media channels like Facebook and Twitter for interaction with their mobile operator. While social integration would seem to be a simple process, mobile operators, vendors and industry analysts noted the challenges embedded with such moves, which have in the case of some operators prevented them from fully embracing social media efforts.
“Social media remains a bit of a conundrum for the CRM market,” Meyer added. “The opportunities inherent in tapping social media channels for near-real time interactions with customers cannot be dismissed. However, the anonymous nature of social media creates a significant challenge in terms of how they authenticate who is a real customer and deal with the privacy issues tied into authentication. Social is indeed a challenge that the CRM market is going to have to continue fighting as the opportunities are too significant to ignore.”
