Humor me for a second, and imagine your company is Homer’s Odysseus. And if customer experience (CX) transformation is your odyssey, it would serve you well to remember that the journey, if not carefully navigated, can be fraught with tunnel-visioned Cyclops, time-eating Lotus Eaters, and the seductive Siren calls of newly hyped technologies.

Brands used to look for a vendor who could do everything. Over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, and they added, added and added. Now they need all their vendors to work well together. That’s composable, and only some will make the cut. As customers — and your board — expect you to be in new channels and to rapidly adapt to shifts in the market, the need for true composability is more crucial than ever before.
