CXM: Customer Experience Managment-tridion

Customer Experience Management (CXM) is a strategy and practice for managing customer
experiences online and offline to acquire, retain, and turn customers into satisfied, loyal brand
advocates and ambassadors.(Wiki)

I heard this acronym around 1.5 year back in a discussion and then found lots of  information from Forrester and RealstoryGroup.

Some says" is nothing more than a feature arms race between companies that have latched onto a false "next big thing". These features were not developed in response to actual customer needs or requests. I never hear anyone talking about CXM except for CMS vendors and analysts."

As per my view, CXM Make sense in lots of context.

Following example describe a particular experience of an user. and how different type of module/systems enhance the experience of user.
