During a media roundtable on April 26, Genesys global CEO Paul Segre and the company’s Vice President of Sales and MD for India, Sanjay Pai, discussed the importance of customer experience (CX) as a brand differentiator and how evolving technologies, like Internet of Things (IoT), are enabling it. A recent Frost & Sullivan study on IoT-enabled CX, commissioned by Genesys, found that India has the second highest IoT-enabled customer maturity in the entire Asia Pacific region. According to the report, this is driven by the region’s optimistic view of how IoT can be used to enhance CX initiatives.
