Highlights
- Best-in-Class Customer Integrated Platform: Our technology is built from the ground up, not cobbled together through mergers and acquisitions. The result is a streamlined design and process - from customer segmentation and audience creation to journey design to channel activation. Embedded AI and machine learning refine your audience insights and engagement strategies over time.
- Analytics That Make Sense for MarTech: Analytics decisions can be made from within customer journeys. This allows brands to craft exceptional customer experiences and moments that really matter for consumers without going out to a siloed analytical solution. And whether you're a drag-and-drop business user or a sophisticated data science power user, we offer both do-it-for-me (DIFM) and do-it-for-you (DIFY) capabilities, giving you the flexibility to work the way that best suits you.
- Hybrid Data Architecture: Unlike other marketing data clouds, SAS lets marketers keep data where they want it, pulling only the data they want to activate against into SAS Customer Intelligence 360 - and only when they want to activate it. This industry-leading approach reduces duplication and synchronization costs, controls privacy, increases data quality and speeds time to value. You can also detect events as they happen and incorporate them into relevant, analytics-ready customer profiles.

Platform has transformed personalized client engagement and now faces complex setup and data demands
What is our primary use case?
SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is our main platform for perfecting the way we engage with our clients and revolutionizing the entire customer engagement journey to ensure it runs perfectly and becomes a success. The platform has helped us move from being just a communication platform and enabled us to dive into analytics, customer segmentation, and ensure that we engage and cooperate on a mutual basis to maximize the efficiency and efficacy of our customer process journey.
I can provide an example of a project where we are testing a new product into the market using SAS Customer Intelligence 360 . We are a farming and horticulture company, and we test new varieties of products that are either produced by ourselves or bought from clients and later sold directly to other clients. In this case, we had a niche target customer for our products, and we needed to approach the customer in real-time and ensure that we offer personalized engagement that would attract the client to what we were selling. By applying SAS Customer Intelligence 360, we were able to personalize the entire campaign and ensure that we secured contracts for selling our products to these clients for a number of years. The engagement was mutually beneficial and mutually productive.
Additionally, we use SAS Customer Intelligence 360 for customer follow-up. When a client starts with us and sometimes drifts away along the way without a platform to help monitor our progress in following up, we tend to lose track and the client moves away. With SAS Customer Intelligence 360, we are able to engage in real-time follow-up and correct errors on our side, allowing us to have the customer onboarded and fully immersed in a mutually beneficial way where we work together to deliver and provide what we have agreed to work on.
What is most valuable?
SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is an efficient platform that is easy to integrate and comes with strong integration features. We are able to integrate it with CRM platforms and even other third-party platforms that liaise directly with the sales process. This ensures that we receive data and input from all the sources where customer engagement may happen, and we can bring together all those sources and platforms to offer a perfect engagement procedure.
The platform offers a number of engagement channels. We are able to apply social media, email, mobile devices, and websites. It gathers information and ensures that engagement happens over broad engagement platforms. We are not confined to one area, and this ensures success because if we are stuck in one channel, we can switch to another one and keep customer engagement and communication flowing efficiently.
The ability to integrate with other platforms and use different channels has helped our teams because SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is AI-powered in its analytics and insights, running on information and customer behavior. When it is able to integrate with other platforms where our customers interact with our company, it can analyze the behaviors of our clients and offer us trends and analytics that help us come up with better strategies to engage with them. Similarly, across different channels, it offers us a wide view whereby we have a number of options to reach our clients, and we are able to choose the best channel where our client feels comfortable and where we feel confident that we will be able to deliver accurate results and engage with clients in a responsive manner.
Another valuable feature is customer retention. SAS Customer Intelligence 360 offers a high-quality, high rate of customer retention. When we lock in a client because of that extensive engagement and proper interaction, we are able to retain clients at a higher rate because they feel perfectly secured and the entire process is open and without any hidden agenda. This helps us retain our clients at a higher rate and boost our customer numbers efficiently.
SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is an AI-powered platform, and artificial intelligence is the heartbeat of the platform. I find it accurate and reliable, delivering perfectly when provided with the right information. It delivers accurate analysis and offers proper analytics that inform the customer engagement journey.
What needs improvement?
There are a number of areas where SAS Customer Intelligence 360 can be improved. One of them is the initial setup process. The platform is data-intensive and requires quite an investment in terms of infrastructure to support it, and that process is not easy. It is a complex one, and users who have not invested well or do not have a strong standing in the market may opt to use traditional methods instead of acquiring the platform.
Additionally, the platform requires quality customer data in order for it to work properly. This forms a disadvantage to small organizations and businesses who do not have other quality data sources and have limited customer data and limited market intelligence. They will not be able to derive the required results that come with having SAS Customer Intelligence 360 in their organization.
I can add concerns about usability, especially the steep learning curve and the time taken to adjust and become adept in using SAS Customer Intelligence 360. Some users find the entire application of data and usage of the platform in engaging with clients to be complex and time-consuming. They prefer to use traditional channels, just using a phone call and relying on word of mouth for convincing clients to accept their business. This learning curve may put off some users and employees who feel that it becomes too tech-savvy to apply the platform and may resort to using the traditional way of engaging with clients.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SAS Customer Intelligence 360 for four years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

What other advice do I have?
The reason for choosing a rating of seven out of ten is due to the ability of the platform to transform the entire customer engagement journey. It brings in artificial intelligence and encompasses data and information whereby it looks at past trends and behaviors of clients to inform how we will engage with them. This informs the personalized approach or the broader approach of engaging whereby if it was an existing client who stopped doing business with us, we are able to pinpoint the accurate reason why they moved away, and we are able to rectify and bring in those new and existing clients together for a perfect way of doing business and executing our work.
SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is easy to govern, and with the right infrastructure and the right controls, it is a platform that we feel secure with and one that will deliver on the required reasons and do so in the perfect time. I find it secure and highly governable and one that can be relied upon.
SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is an affordable platform and one that we can easily scale up. It will redefine the customer engagement journey and process, make it efficient, and ensure that we embrace modern technology in engaging with clients. Therefore, when we are doing so, we are doing it from an informed point of engagement, and we have all the tools and tips needed to simplify the entire sales and marketing process. I give this solution a rating of seven out of ten.
