15. Confidential & Proprietary 15 The Big Picture Market changes are inevitable. If you clearly understand market transition dates, it may be too late! Customer retention is best achieved if you optimize customer care before you are forced to do so. Results compromised if you skew attention on either front-office or back-office. Investments in new infrastructure, if done wisely, can transition effectively from traditional to re-structured environments. Private, public, deregulated, regulated or somewhere in between, properly positioned, customer-focused investments will always pay dividends.
