TCS Optunique™: AI-powered enterprise personalization solution

Delightful experiences. Every user, every time. 

As a unified, personalized customer experience becomes a major differentiator, hyper-personalization has become the retailer’s new battleground.   

Yet, the current state of personalization leaves much to be desired. Although 89% of retailers state they are investing in personalization, 58% of consumers still feel the experience between channels is disconnected. Despite expanding budgets on acquiring leads, massive ad campaigns, and investments in personalization capabilities across channels, retailers are struggling to earn loyalty and drive customer lifetime value (CLV) due to disconnected customer targeting. 

TCS Optunique is an AI-powered enterprise personalization solution that delivers unified, hyper-personalized experiences in real time. It drives CLV by delivering seamless experiences for every user, every time with contextual recommendations across their omnichannel journey.

• Connected business interface for optimized communications: Business users are empowered with a goal-based, intelligent, connected interface to define their personalization strategy. Based on the strategy, TCS Optunique autonomously identifies the right features and models to curate the target audience, timing, and channel, and delivers personalized recommendations.
