Enterprise Customer Success Management with AI: Driving Retention and Growth

AI-powered automation: 65% of organizations now use generative AI in customer success, achieving up to 94.7% query accuracy and reducing response times by 99.7%.

Digital-led engagement: Scalable, self-service, and in-app guidance are replacing high-touch models, helping teams do more with less.
