As banking products become more and more commoditized, it becomes harder for banks to differentiate themselves in the market amid increased competition and decreasing loyalty. Despite the best efforts to understand customer value and potential, banks spend resources targeting customers who are profitable today and alienate those who will be profitable later.
Banks need a better understanding of what financial incentives they can offer that will create more value and incentives for loyalty and still allow them to remain profitable. A comprehensive view of the customer as part of a continuum, managed over time and across contact channels and products, helps sustain market differentiation and increases overall profitability.
SAS® Banking Intelligence Architecture for analytics, combined with Amdocs’ operational Product Catalog and dynamic pricing engine, gives banks the needed flexibility to build and change pricing and product bundles to develop and sustain a personalized approach for customers. Dynamic Pricing and Profitability Management from SAS and Amdocs enables banks to adopt customer-focused product and pricing management, which results in longer, more profitable customer engagements, as well as process improvements that reduce cost and improve overall operational agility.
