Customer experience and SaaS experts from SAP, ServiceNow, and Comcast Innovation Labs join to support continuous innovation
Redwood City, Calif. — February 27, 2020 — Reltio, an award-winning software as a service (SaaS) company helping innovative Global 2000 companies win in the experience economy, today announced the hiring of two customer experience (CX) and SaaS experts, formerly of SAP, ServiceNow, and Comcast Innovation Labs. The two executives, a Vice President of Product Management and Executive Vice President of Engineering, join the Reltio team that will release three major software upgrades for Reltio Connected Customer 360 in 2020. SaaS delivery ensures automatic updates with no business disruptions for customers. In addition to these releases, the engineering team performs regular rollouts of incremental enhancements. This is a benefit that on-premises software, even if hosted, cannot provide.

The Reltio platform creates holistic, up-to-date customer profiles for driving hyper-personalization at scale, accelerating real-time operations at scale, and simplifying compliance and consent management at scale to increase customer acquisition and retention.

“Global 2000 companies use Reltio to transform their businesses and be more customer-centric by providing hyper-personalized experiences at scale,” said Venki. “Knowledge about your customers is a key foundational element for any customer process. I joined Reltio because no one is trying to solve this problem like we are by combining customer data, transactions, and interactions across systems to provide insights that power connected customer experiences.
