Customer Intelligence Overview
Customer Intelligence Overview report gives
users a high-level picture of the enterprise's performance on
customer acquisition, retention, product gross margin, and
satisfaction. This report allows users to choose different
period ranges, intervals, customer categories, market
segments, and geographical locations to analyze
above-mentioned measures. The ability for users to view this
report by combinations of multiple dimensions empowers users
to quickly obtain a comprehensive picture about the company's
performance.

Customer Intelligence Overview Report
Customer Acquisition and Activation Analysis
The Acquisition and Activation Analysis shows
how many new customers you have acquired, where they came
from, how many and what percentage of these customers have
activated their accounts (customer activation rate). Users can
view these measures by several Oracle Customer Intelligence
dimensions such as time, customer category, market segment,
geography, etc.
Customer Retention Analysis
The cost of acquiring a new customer is six to
ten times the cost of retaining an existing one. Customer
Retention Analysis provides invaluable information to help
companies understand customer retention. Users can view the
customer retention rates by time and other Oracle Customer
Intelligence dimensions. Users can further analyze their
customers in terms of product gross margin, loyalty,
satisfaction, and lifecycle to learn why, where, when, and
which group of customers were being retained or lost, and its
impact on product gross margin.
Customer Product Gross Margin Analysis
As the "20-80 Rule" goes, twenty percent of the
customers generally account for eighty percent of the profits.
Enterprises need to know who are the most profitable customers
and who are the money losers to wisely allocate resources on
"the good", bring back "the bad", and abandon "the ugly".
Oracle Customer Intelligence allows users to analyze
customers' Product Gross Margin, Revenue, and Cost of Goods
Sold (COGS) by time and other Oracle Customer Intelligence
dimensions.
Customer Loyalty Analysis
Customer Loyalty Analysis enables users to
analyze their customer loyalty by time and other Oracle
Customer Intelligence dimensions through quantitative metrics
and formulas using internal measures such as quantity of
orders, number of contracts, year of association, number of
referrals, interactions, on-time payment rate, products in
installed base, etc. The Loyalty Index gives users a great
tool to differentiate loyal customers from disloyal ones. It
facilitates enterprises' strategies to reward the former and
turn around the latter.
Customer Satisfaction Analysis
Users can analyze their customers'
satisfaction by time and other Oracle Customer Intelligence
dimensions through quantitative metrics and formulas defined
by the user. The overall Satisfaction Index is composed of
five sub-indexes:
- Service
- Quality
- Shipment
- Billing
- Contract
Oracle Customer Intelligence empowers
users to drill down from the Satisfaction Index to learn how
each sub-index is contributing to the overall satisfaction.
Further drill-downs are also available for users to better
understand how underlying measures are contributing to the
sub-index scores.
Additionally, users can also enter the
industry's Satisfaction Index as the Industry Average for
benchmarking.

Customer Satisfaction Analysis
Customer Lifecycle Analysis
Users can analyze their customers by grouping
them into six different cohorts for any period in time based on
their buying trends. Every cohort represents a stage in the customer
life cycle:
- New
- Growing
- Stable
- Declining
- Defected
- Insignificant
The customer lifecycle information enables
companies to identify the right customers for targeted relationship
plans, loyalty programs, and/or retention campaigns.
Performance Management Framework
Users can use the Performance Measures Framework
(PMF) to set up target values (upper and lower limits) for four key
Oracle Customer Intelligence measures:
- Retention Rate
- Product Gross Margin
- Satisfaction Index
- Loyalty Index
As the key measures reach these target values, a
set of predefined alerts and workflows will be triggered to notify
the user of potential performance problems. PMF helps users
effectively monitor the performance of their responsible segments
and identify areas of improvement to take corrective actions.
Integration with Other CRM and ERP Business
Intelligence Products
Users can drill to other reports in different BIS
subject areas to further investigate the cause-effect relationships
between measures. Drillable related reports are comprehensively
across functional areas and can belong to either CRM or ERP
applications.
Closed-loop Integration with Oracle TeleService
Oracle Customer Intelligence enables users to
leverage the existing customer profile information created in Oracle
TeleService (formerly known as Oracle Customer Care). Users can use
Oracle TeleService to select the customer profiles they want to
display in Oracle Customer Intelligence.
Customer service agents can graphically view any
customer's revenue, Product Gross Margin, loyalty, and satisfaction
information over time from Oracle TeleService. This integration
empowers customer service agents to better understand a customer to
provide the best service. The closed-loop integration between Oracle
Customer Intelligence and Oracle TeleService illustrates the best
practice for a company to increase the bottom line.
Drill-down to Individual Customer
Users can drill down to individual customers from many
analytical reports such as Acquisition, Activation, Retention,
Lifecycle, etc. This drill-down feature further enhances Oracle
Customer Intelligence's ability to conduct customer portfolio
analysis and to provide a 360-degree view of customers.
Flexible User-defined Setups
Flexible setup screens are available for users
to specify how they want to have their measures calculated based on
their business requirements. Users can set up Activation, Retention,
Loyalty, Satisfaction, Lifecycle, preferred calendar, displaying
currency, and the number of customers listed per page.
