    We recently released our annual Customer Experience Impact Report, and it is one more big reminder that consumer expectations continue to increase. The brands that are paying attention are winning big, and those that don’t are losing big.  

    It’s a global reality that RightNow and our clients are seeing every day-consumers have changed and they aren’t going back.

This topic rose to the top of the list in nearly all of my meetings this week.

    Second, even though global economies are far from in the clear from the recession, there are some positive signs for technology. For example, the Gartner CRM EMEA event attendance reportedly was up about 40% over 2009, with more than 400 attendees. Delegates appeared to have a renewed commitment to moving their businesses forward, investing in customer experience...
