The Current and Future Financial Services Vertical
The overall objective of this research service was to look at the current and
future adoption of various customer contact strategies, enabling technologies,
and services, specifically in the financial services vertical. In terms of
financial services, significantly more current customer interactions are
taking place through email in Europe than in North America, while more
interactions are taking place through chat in North America than in Europe.
About 48% of customer interactions are fully automated, which is expected to
grow to 60% by 2016. Overall, the use of multiple capabilities with social
media customer contact strategies in the financial services vertical is
expected to increase by 2016, with the largest percentage point increases
expected for full integration with other contact channels and personalized
marketing.
