People are always connected to an instant feed of live updates, news, and messages in a world driven by social media platforms. In the current times, exposure is extremely important and Global Web Index has indicated in its report that 28% of time spent online is social networking.

They expect their data to be at companies’ fingertips – from different types of stock information to delivery dates and customer records. They don’t expect businesses to not go wrong.
4. Customers Expect Round The Clock Service Using The “Always-On” Culture
In the current times, virtually everyone has a smartphone in their pockets to stay connected.
