Leading consumer-oriented companies see every customer interaction as an opportunity to retain a valued customer, increase revenue, build loyalty or strengthen a brand. These enterprises look to customer relationship management solutions to help them connect with customers, anticipate customer needs and deliver the products and services customers want. Corporations need a CRM company that shares their vision, adapts quickly to their dynamic business needs, and helps them deliver measurable business results.

“In terms of overall satisfaction, no vendor was able to produce nearly as many satisfied customers as Epiphany. Besides being the most responsive, Epiphany’s references cited more quantifiable benefits than any other vendor.”

– Joanie Rufo and Lindsey Sodano, AMR Research, “CRM: Inflicting Pain or Profit”

Yesterday’s Systems Can’t Solve Your Current Business Needs

Customers of today’s consumer-oriented companies interact with many different individuals and channels – including face-to-face representatives, telephone agents, the Web site and direct mail. This makes CRM software critical to managing the context and ultimately the value of these customer relationships. In other words, every customer interaction counts.

“Epiphany has enabled CIGNA to become a fully integrated, customer centric organization. The real-time intelligence that we’re able to disseminate across the company enables us to optimize all customer interactions and provide a consistent, positive customer experience for our clientele.”

– Brian Sweeney, Senior VP and Chief Marketing Officer, CIGNA International

Legacy CRM systems were built for siloed departments – sales, customer service and marketing – to automate processes and transactions. These systems reduced costs and delivered new efficiencies, but they lacked a marketing-driven focus to build the value of each customer relationship. Today’s consumeroriented businesses need cross-enterprise solutions that build loyalty, strengthen profitability and deliver competitive advantage. Legacy CRM solutions are built on architectures that are proprietary and inflexible – and are expensive to implement and maintain. Epiphany® offers a better way.

“Epiphany supports AT&T Wireless’ marketing efforts to be more responsive to changes in the marketplace while maintaining a consistent customer experience. The embedded analytics, multichannel functionality and 360- degree view of the customer provided by the Epiphany CRM solution support AT&T Wireless in improving customer relationships and driving increased crosssell and upsell revenue.”

– Paul Schaeffer, Senior Director CRM Technology, AT&T Wireless
