(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Oracle Modern Marketing Experience Europe, London England -- News Summary Marketers face an increasingly complex balancing act as they try to deliver on the full promise of customer centricity. In fact, according to Accenture , 77 percent of marketers say it is essential or very important to deliver an effective customer experience for their company, but only 62 percent think they're doing a good job. One reason for this is that marketers often don't have the time or resources to devote to enhancing the customer experience as they struggle with complex, siloed, and ineffective marketing systems and data.
