Today’s customers, be it external or internal, are hard-pressed to process relevant insights from the tons of information at their disposal. However, they also prefer self-service. Rather than take the trouble to reach out to a customer service representative, ask a question, and wait, only to risk getting a vague or even wrong answer, they would rather research what they want by themselves. Contacting the customer support team is the last item on their list, obviously to be resorted to when things go horribly wrong.
A simple search, which lists out pages of links, no longer fits the bill. An indicator of this effect is the increased investment in search. A study by Hexa Reports estimates the global enterprise search market to touch $5.02 billion by 2020, with 65% of customers preferring self-research over other means.
