Salesforce1 for Financial Services
Financial services companies are facing rising pressure as customer\u2019s expectations change. Customers are increasingly buying services from more than one financial institution, and 26 percent of customers are thinking of switching their primary banks because of slow responses, impersonal experiences and disconnected products (according to a 2013 CG42 Retail Banking Brand Vulnerability Study). In this new world of social and mobile applications, customers are demanding financial institutions keep pace by participating in real-time customer service engagement and developing a 1:1 relationship with each customer.
With Salesforce1 for Financial Services, salesforce.com is delivering innovative solutions to address specific industry problems by growing a team of industry experts, developing an ecosystem of partners and creating transformational solutions that leverage the power of the trusted Salesforce1 Platform.
