One discipline that is booming in 2018, however, is user experience (UX). And it seems to me this is precisely because UX is a broad church. UX is about meeting consumer expectations in a variety of channels, even if those are predominately digital.
UX fits within customer experience and this is at the heart of new agency propositions, where tech meets strategy and experience design.
To some extent these propositions have been forged in the heat of competition from consultancies. Earlier this year, Pierre Nanterme, chief executive of Accenture Interactive, pointed out that the company is staying out of the declining business of media buying and focusing on these more profitable areas.

In the traditional customer service setup, there were customer service personnel taking calls and responding to customer queries on emails. Unfortunately, they would suffer from burnout. They were forced to repeat the same instructions, cool down angry customers, and had to work for long hours. Fortunately, chatbot application development has revolutionized things. These software-based tools are now taking center stage in most company interactions with their customers. Here are ways chatbots are redefining customer experiences.

Is your business listening to the Voice of the Customer (VoC)? If not, you might want to start now – as it is becoming a top priority among most online businesses. This rise in popularity is owed to the fact that Voice of the Customer programs (and therefore Voice of the Customer tools) have recently become a critical element in customer experience initiatives.

Your website type decides which kind of web design is more appropriate for the site. Commonly two types of website designing concept are in practice. They are UX and UI.

No matter what services your company provides or what communication platforms you use, customer experience (CX) needs to be at the core of everything you do. With all the tools that are available to help brands engage with their customers -- from social media to artificial intelligence-based resources like product recommendations and chatbots -- there are more opportunities than ever to create powerful customer experiences that build loyalty and drive sales.
But these tools aren’t going to use themselves, nor will a CX-focused culture spontaneously arise on its own. Brands need to make CX a priority at every level, from the first moment a consumer decides to explore their products online to the final step of the customer journey to the ongoing relationship that may last for years or even decades.

As enterprise end-users and customers alike have embraced the digital life, the need for well-designed user experience (UX) has intensified. With so many applications, platforms and services that continue to change day by day, or even hour by hour, UX has become a major force in its own right.
Now, the world is moving to artificial intelligence (AI), which promises to greatly enhance UX, working behind the scenes to deliver automatic and intuitive responses to user requests. The benefits of AI go even deeper. A recent survey of design professionals by Adobe finds more than half, 62%, expressed interest in AI and machine learning and what they add to the creative process. AI and machine learning will have a "democratizing effect on creativity" in applications and products. AI also opens up possibilities such as 3D and immersive design.
