SAS Customer Intelligence 360 journey capabilities frequently asked questions
What do journey capabilities in SAS Customer Intelligence 360 do?
The journey capabilities of SAS Customer Intelligence 360 enable marketers to orchestrate personalized, multistep customer experiences across channels and touchpoints. Journeys coordinate when and why interactions occur, using both scheduled and real-time triggers, to deliver seamless, relevant experiences that increase engagement, loyalty and growth.

The journey capabilities of SAS Customer Intelligence 360 ensure continuity and cohesion across interactions rather than sending isolated messages.
