Or perhaps you’ve been asked to detail your purchase history before being routed to the right customer service rep?</p> <p>These examples of disconnected customer service experiences lead to frustrated customers and missed opportunities. And at the root of those disjointed experiences are disparate systems and data silos that make it hard to see the big picture.</p> <p>With an average enterprise using over <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/connectivity-report-2023/" target="_blank" rel=" noopener">1,000 applications</a>, data ecosystems are incredibly complex.  And while many organizations may centralize their data in data lakes, warehouses or <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/what-is-a-data-lakehouse/" target="_blank" rel=" noopener">lakehouses</a>,  it often winds up never getting fully realized.  In fact, Forrester reports <a href="https://www.forrester.com/blogs/hadoop-is-datas-darling-for-a-reason/">73% of enterprise data</a> goes unused for analytics.</p> <p>So, what happens to this data? It remains static and stuck in back-end solutions not designed to activate data within the everyday workflows and applications business teams use to engage with their customers.</p> <p>You can bridge data silos to make personalized customer experiences a key differentiator for your business. With the right data solutions, it’s possible to unify all of your customer data — from online reviews and customer service records to browsing behavior and purchase history — to drive customer success.
