Imagine you're leading a global retail brand with tens of thousands of customers interacting across social media, in-store kiosks, mobile apps, and your eCommerce site.

You already use a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to track sales leads and store contact information. However, you're finding that it lacks the real-time, dynamic features needed to deliver personalized campaigns at scale.
