“OTT consumers today expect more personalized content, a faster service and a better experience. And they want it now,” said Benjamin Soubies, Managing Director (APAC & Japan), Talkwalker.

The summit started with an opening keynote by Mohd Afdhal Bin Mohd Nayan, Chief Transformation Officer at Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, where he shared his insights on, ‘How the Financial Service industry is driving Superior Digital Experience’. He was found quoting, “Delivering customer service is an integral part of banks in society, by addressing the new customer needs and concerns and improving own efficiency and effectiveness.”

Sonny Supriyadi, VP – Head, Pricing and Data Analytics at Maybank; Gavin Neil Olsen, FSI DX lead, Southeast Asia at Sitecore and Mike Plimsoll, Snr. Director, Industry Strategy & Marketing at Sitecore discussed at length on topic ‘Know your customer, know your data’. Gavin stated, “The FSI sector is in the early stages of becoming digitally agile and meeting the needs of customers in an always-on platform economy. The first step is to streamline the content lifecycle and data capture to enable new services for existing customers. This is where FSI providers need to be focusing their efforts now — especially as they suddenly have a lot of customers who are online for the first time. This means implementing “content anywhere” processes to allow agility across all channels, owned, earned, and bought, from desktop, mobile, and physical channels, for all aspects of the content lifecycle. Our experience is that fully merging physical and digital channels is a huge culture shift for everyone — customers, employees, and management. The challenge is to build a seamless CX (customer experience) that reaches across all touchpoints and makes a difference to your bottom line, and brand loyalty.”

Landon Barnes, Principal Solutions Consultant at UserTesting spoke at length on ‘3 Reasons Companies Miss the Mark on Customer Centricity and How to Fix it’. He was quoted saying, “Businesses have to think from the customer perspective and how they want to do business and how quickly they want those experiences.”

companies are massively evolving their business strategy.”
