SundaySky’s SmartVideo technology enables personalized, real-time video experiences designed to welcome new customers, explain processes and deliver customer support messages that matter to the consumer, resulting in an enhanced digital experience and deeper customer loyalty, according to a GMC statement. The technology is already in use by many leading brands, including AT&T, Comcast and Allstate, which are powering their personalized customer acquisition and retention strategies with SmartVideo.
“Joint customers of GMC and SundaySky are now able to enable personalized video to existing and new content streams using a simple drag-and-drop from within GMC Inspire,” comments Scott Draeger, VP, product marketing, GMC Software. “This capability provides a seamless customer experience, allowing enterprises to enable personalized video as a new communication channel while maintaining consistency in branding, messaging and compliance.”
GMC describes its Inspire solution as a customer communications management solution that allows enterprises to pull information from various internal systems to design and generate monthly statements, contracts, quotes and other customer communications and deliver them via print, fax, online, social media, email, text, mobile and other emerging channels.
