What is experience orchestration?

Experience orchestration (EO) is the process of identifying and creating the ideal end-to-end journey for each customer, improving both their experience and your business outcomes.

Businesses can coordinate data, systems, channels and roles to create more effective, efficient and emotionally intelligent experiences. Together, these technologies can reshape the ways businesses deliver both customer and employee experiences, unlocking new levels of automation, augmentation, personalization and optimization.

Understanding the levels of experience orchestration

There are a number of different levels of experience orchestration sophistication that an organization can have, ranging from purely manual customer interactions to full agentic orchestration. And Genesys is uniquely suited to help your organizations move up these levels.

The six levels of experience orchestration

These show on a continuum where an organization’s experience orchestration sophistication lies, from “none” to “fully agentic.”

Why the levels matter

The levels of experience orchestration is a model that allows your business to understand where different areas of the business are, and determine not only where they should be, but also how to mature operations, technology and more to get where your business needs demand. Every business doesn’t have to get to Level 5 in all phases of the business — assess your needs and see how best to meet them.

Only Genesys

Genesys is uniquely placed to partner with your business as you determine your experience orchestration maturity levels across your business. We’ll support you as you move along the levels of experience orchestration to get where you need to be to optimize your customer experience (CX).

Examples of experience orchestration

A customer’s brand experience is a journey from awareness of your brand to purchase and beyond. Optimized journeys create the ideal customer experience. Here’s how experience orchestration helps deliver the optimal experience.

Benefits of experience orchestration

AI‑powered journey orchestration transforms the ways that people interact with your business. And it does more than just support customers and employees — it boosts your bottom line.

Experiences that grow with your customers

With the help of AI, you can see changes in customer behavior as they happen, and adjust journeys to match new goals and needs. This way your customers will never receive an outdated experience, and you can outpace your competition. This will boost your customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score as experiences improve and customers are delighted by their support experience.

Personalized experiences that grow loyalty

Experience orchestration delivers the seamless, personalized and contextual experience that today’s customer expects across every touchpoint. Create loyal customers by providing each one with exactly what they need, when they need it, without roadblocks.

Empowered, productive employees

Experience orchestration improves employee journeys, as well. Better and more accessible data make it easier for service agents to help customers in need, improving the day-to-day employee experience as well as overall employee satisfaction. This data-driven support improves average handle time (AHT) as efficiencies within your customer service setup build.

Business-first analytics

Don’t just guess at which customer journey will be best for your bottom line — get the information to know. Holistic real-time, contextual data gives business leaders the insights they need to be able to build experiences that customers will love and will drive business results. Organizing around a customer-centric design philosophy increases customer retention, preserving and improving your existing revenue and preventing expenditures on replacing customers as they churn.

AI‑powered agent support

Generative, predictive and conversational AI deliver insights right when they’re needed. Virtual agents contain call volume, reduce average handle time and improve service — keeping employees focused on interactions that make a business impact. This increases first-contact resolution, as intent-driven context allows agents to serve customers faster and provide the right assistance more accurately.

Frequently asked questions about experience orchestration

What are the key components of an effective experience orchestration platform?

An effective customer journey orchestration platform must be compatible with your systems of record, like CRM, ERP and operations systems. It must also bring together your systems of engagement like websites, social media and bots.

With these components, it can draw data from every interaction a customer has with your brand. That customer journey analytics data is brought into an AI-infused orchestration engine that processes it through machine learning, workflow builders and more. The data is then routed and pushed through the right engagement services to optimize the customer’s experience.

How does AI contribute to experience orchestration?

AI underpins experience orchestration by automating workflows and processes, augmenting your workforce to upskill and make them more productive, personalize every moment with contextual, real-time understanding and optimize with AI analytics to draw out key insights to improve experiences to build loyalty and deliver business value.

When it comes to Genesys Cloud AI, it’s natively built within the platform, making it easier to use and faster to apply across a wide set of CX use cases. Genesys Cloud AI is fine-tuned for CX and configurable for your business. With built-in governance and compliance, you can apply AI without risk.

What role does data play in experience orchestration?

CX orchestration requires data from all available sources, including, but not limited to, your CRM, ERP, operations systems, websites, social media platforms and AI agents. An experience orchestration engine takes in all that data and uses AI to determine what the best next action is for that individual, based on the situation and context. It all relies on having a full view of data, and on being able to analyze and interpret the data well.

Can experience orchestration improve customer retention and acquisition?

Yes. Eighty-six percent of consumers say a company is only as good as its service, and 31%​ of consumers say they stopped doing business with a company after a negative customer experience. Customers expect their experiences to be personalized and when they encounter roadblocks, they’re more than willing to buy elsewhere. On the other hand, providing customers with exactly what they need, when they need it, practically guarantees higher satisfaction. And satisfaction promotes loyalty.

How does experience orchestration differ from customer journey mapping?

Customer journey mapping helps visualize, measure and monitor the journeys that customers take as they seek to achieve a goal, allowing you to better optimize business performance as you work to make those customer goals easier to achieve. As an analytics and measurement function, it serves as a key part of the experience orchestration process. Experience orchestration builds in artificial intelligence to allow a business to use the aggregated data to design and automate the journey to improve outcomes for the customer and your business alike.

How can businesses measure the success of experience orchestration?

A number of key performance indicators can help determine whether experience orchestration efforts are successful. Customer satisfaction and loyalty scores like retention rate show whether customers are getting what they need from their interactions with your brand. Employee efficiency increases that stem from increased empowerment can be measured using average handle time, customer ratings and even employee resourcing metrics.

And finally, examine whether business needs are being met — operating costs dropping and revenue increasing are trailing indicators of an improved experience.

What are the common challenges in implementing experience orchestration?

A number of potential roadblocks stand between a business and a successful experience orchestration implementation. The complexity of evolution to the cloud from an on-premises solution, if necessary, and the complexity of cloud application consolidation can be risks to manage as you begin. Integrating all data sources into a single platform for AI analysis and management can, depending on the platform, be difficult; as can getting visibility into every interaction and journey across your whole experience ecosystem.

The efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation process itself determines how quickly benefits will be seen. And finally, considering the importance of AI throughout the experience orchestration process, its impact depends on proper implementation and management.
