Expanded Definition:
Digital, omnichannel communications help you connect with your customers across their financial lifecycle with their best interests in mind. Interactions are orchestrated intelligently across online and offline channels and consider contact preferences to reach customers efficiently.
An intelligent omnichannel platform can transform the customer experience and the rate of resolutions. As more customers become digitally aware, this allows businesses to develop a customer-centric digital journey.
What’s the difference between multichannel and omnichannel?
Although both multi- and omnichannel involve selling across multiple physical and digital channels, the key difference lies in how the customer experience is integrated across these channels. Unlike multichannel, omnichannel joins communication touchpoints so the experience is consistent and unified no matter which channel the customer chooses or moves between.
