New Research From Infobip Finds Disconnected Data and Systems Prevent Brands From Automating Customer Journeys at Scale12.5.2026 11:39:00 EEST | Press release
Global AI-first cloud communications platform Infobip’s 2026 Customer Experience (CX) Maturity Report reveals a widening gap between communications infrastructure investment and CX performance. With ever-increasing customer expectations, achieving CX maturity is the goal for major global brands. This hinges on how well brands can build experiences on mobile channels. There is a fundamental difference between a simple fraud alert on SMS and a two-way WhatsApp chat that allows customers to act immediately. While 96% of brands automate customer interactions in some way, few are delivering a seamless experience. Only 58% of brands say their channels are fully in sync, and 60% have centralized storage of customer data. But looking closer, only 27% use an orchestration platform, and 50% of brands say their tools are fully API-ready. This means half of brands struggle with connecting tools and data and many don't use a unified platform to build truly seamless experiences. This fragmentation i
