About half of organizations value a mix of direct communication, social media, surveys, and customer ratings and reviews.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the GCC, organizations should not consider customer experience a one-off project, but rather work with channel partners to integrate customer experiences in digital transformation agendas,\u201d added Ahmed Al-Faifi. \u201cIn the Experience Economy, it\u2019s vital for organizations to combine customer \u2018x-data\u2019 with operational \u2018o-data\u2019 to deliver digital business innovations across customer, employee, product, and brand experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abdul Latif Jameel Motors and alfanar Electric Division Drive Saudi CX Innovations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of Saudi Arabia\u2019s largest diversified businesses, Abdul Latif Jameel, rehauled its management processes and performance through a dedicated resource planning system, named JSAP.

Saudi Arabia. \u201cBy combining customer data with operational data, alfanar Electric Division can better service to our customers, enhance our electrical materials supply chain, and boost our sales and products.
