Organizations that do so will be able to monitor customer behaviors and market conditions with greater certainty, and react with speed and effectiveness to differentiate from their competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some of the results of the CapGemini report include the following findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>90 percent <\/strong><strong>of executives now describe their
