Satmetrix Systems Thought Leader Roundtable Delivers Customer Experience Management Insights

Top Executives From Leading Global Companies Share Customer Experience Best Practices

FOSTER CITY, Calif., — December 7, 2004 — Satmetrix Systems, Inc., the leader in global customer experience management systems, announced today the findings from its European Thought Leader Roundtable.

Top executives convened in London, England, to exchange best practices in customer experience management, review case studies, and be among the first to participate in Satmetrix’s new self-assessment tool, Satmetrix CEMapÔ. “The Thought Leader Roundtable was exceptional in the level of dialogue and the insights that these executives shared,” said Richard Owen, president and CEO of Satmetrix Systems. “Enterprise-level customer experience management, while very rewarding from a growth and profitability perspective, is still one of the most difficult undertakings for any global company.”

Satmetrix CEMap, a self-assessment tool recently introduced by Satmetrix Systems, was utilized by most of the roundtable attendees to provide clarity around their specific customer experience programs and their organization’s capabilities. “Satmetrix CEMap identified three key challenges for all companies to move from believing in customer experience management to achieving positive customer experience,” said Dr. Laura Brooks, chief methodology officer for Satmetrix Systems. The three key findings from this roundtable were:

  • Executives and key stakeholders need to articulate a strong and continuous message of customer-centric focus to shift the entire organization’s culture
  • Customer experience data collection, while running smoothly in isolated areas, needs to be consistently integrated across the organization for maximum effectiveness
  • The ability to move customer experience data into the DNA of an organization with consistent, well-understood business action processes remains the area of greatest difficulty for large organizations.

“Satmetrix Systems helps us to understand our current barriers to establishing a customer-centric culture and provides us with the customer experience systems to measure and monitor progress against these gaps,” said Philip Rowley, president and CEO, AOL Europe. “By doing this, we have captured key issues at the customer level, and enabled flexibility in changing our structures to our mutual benefit.”

The next Satmetrix Thought Leader Roundtable will be held in the spring in the U.S. For more information, contact Bill O’Leary at Satmetrix Systems.
