Why we care. Digital experience is about marketers adapting to the many touchpoints where customers choose to engage with their brand in an increasingly fragmented digital world. Brands need to be positioned to respond and engage with the customer, in kind, providing help, education, relevant content and seamless delivery of products and services.

With these increasing touchpoints, there is also more data, and it needs to be accessible to many teams across the organization. Google Cloud is a nice addition for Optimizely customers because of the data and analytics that can help teams engage with their customers more effectively and efficiently.
