  • The Gartner Customer Service Technology Vendor Guide, 2019
    The Gartner Customer Service Technology Vendor Guide, 2019 Published: 27 June 2019 ID: G00389224 Analyst(s): Nadine LeBlanc, Drew Kraus, Jim Davies, Steve Blood, Olive Huang, Brian Manusama, Jim Robinson, Anthony Mullen, Melissa Davis, Simon Harrison Customer service software segments are converging as organizations invest in digital strategy. Application leaders can use this guide to understand the solutions and vendors supporting customer service, and prioritize areas of investment while balancing customer, employee and organizational needs. Key Findings ■ Customer experience (CX) and CRM posted the highest growth among all application software markets, and remained the largest enterprise software market in 2018 with more than $48.2 billion in sales. Customer service is the largest subsegment with more than $17.2 billion in sales for 2018. ■ Within the next three to five years, application leaders will have to deal with a customer service technology stack of disparate, overlapping systems. As a result, they’ll be at risk of creating a disjointed CX unless supported by solid employee engagement and adaptable processes. ■ Many organizations intend to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with customer service, moving from reactive to proactive and predictive processes. According to the 2019 Gartner CIO Survey, 50% of organizations intend to employ AI by 2020, up from 14% in 2018. Recommendations For application leaders responsible for customer service and support (CSS) technology: ■ Incorporate key trends into your customer service technology roadmap by exploring vendors that support top CX initiatives such as customer analytics, voice of the customer (VoC) and multichannel interactions. Innovation pace matters! ■ Future-proof your technology investments by refining your vision, strategy and critical business scenarios with inspiration from key customer service technology markets and Cool Vendors offering virtual customer assistants (VCAs), consumer messaging apps and speech technologies.
