The benefits of a Digital Experience Platform

Digital experience platform (DXP) is a solution that enables organisation’s to manage the complexities of today's digital customer experience and position them to respond to future needs. Gartner’s definition of a DXP is “an integrated set of core technologies that support the composition, management, delivery and optimization of contextualized digital experiences.”

DXPs help engage customers through well-thought-out, personalised, consisted and connected digital experiences while offering businesses an opportunity to enhance their performance.

A digital experience platform can provide significant business benefits. By improving the digital experience, it can boost customer engagement, conversion, and advocacy. By streamlining the digital experience delivery process, it accelerates time to market, reduces costs, and improves team productivity. By automating many of the processes involved in the creation, management, and delivery of digital experiences, it reduces risk. Moreover, it builds brand equity by improving its consistency.

With this in mind, we have compiled seven benefits of using a DXP below:

  1. Better touchpoints: DXPs allow brands to deliver and customise content across multiple platforms and touchpoints. According to a survey conducted by Aspect Software, businesses that adopt omni-channel strategies achieve 91% greater customer retention rates.
