Customer Journey Analytics & Orchestration
The increasing complexity of customer journeys risks detracting from CX and loyalty, and impacts growth and cost management. Leaders should use this Magic Quadrant to identify best-fit customer journey analytics and orchestration solutions for real-time analysis, prioritization and orchestration.
Market Definition
Gartner defines customer journey analytics and orchestration (CJA/O) as solutions that track and analyze how customers and prospects interact with an organization across multiple channels over time. These solutions subsequently enable organizations to prioritize and orchestrate real-time improvements to the customer experience in multichannel journeys throughout the end-to-end customer life cycle.
The journey lens provided by CJA/O solutions offers insights by combining cross-channel interaction data with transactional, voice of the customer (VoC), and customer profile data on a time axis. Other types of analysis, when used in isolation, cannot achieve this. This enables data-driven predictions at scale and experimentation with multichannel interventions that can be robustly verified as driving increased customer satisfaction, retention, and lifetime value.
