New research from OpenText reveals the extent to which the pandemic has changed customers’ expectations of brands, and the increasingly important role of a streamlined digital experience post-COVID.

The new data – from a survey of 2,000 Canadian respondents – reveals that 68% of Canadian consumers are more likely to buy again from brands which treat them like an individual, rather than the same as any other customer. This demand for brands to engage with customers as an individual is mirrored across the United States (67%) and Europe – in Italy (70%), Spain (63%), France (59%) and Germany (55%). 

Four out of ten (45%) Canadian consumers only buy from brands that make them feel they understand their preferences, such as communicating with them through their favourite channels or providing tailored deals. 

Customer Experience is King

More than half (59%) of Canadian consumers would be put off buying again from a brand due to a bad experience. In fact, five out of ten (56%) do not believe there is such thing as a ‘customer for life’ anymore in 2021, suggesting that brands cannot rely on customer loyalty stretching far enough to recover from bad experiences.

Creating a frictionless experience for customers is key to providing a good experience. When buying products or services online, nearly three out of four (77%) Canadian consumers say that an easy search is very important to them. Furthermore, half (47%) prefer to shop with brands that auto-fill and remember their details for next time. There is, however, pressure on brands to store that data correctly: more than half (60%) would even be willing to pay more to do business with a brand that is committed to protecting their personal data.

The importance of digital in a post-COVID world

For 53% of Canadian consumers, the pandemic has changed their expectations of what a brand’s digital offering should be. One fifth (23%) won’t use brands if their experience isn’t excellent when buying online.

Nearly half (48%) are now more comfortable with digital only businesses as a result of the pandemic. For more than 4 in 10 (46%) Canadian consumers, a personalized digital experience is now vital to them if they are to come back to a brand time and time again.

The research also reveals consumer perspectives on which organizations have risen to the challenge of providing an optimal experience during the turbulence of the last year. Four in 10 (40%) say bigger established brands have been able to offer a smoother digital experience than smaller ones during the pandemic.

Methodology

This research was conducted by 3Gem in April 2021. Commissioned by OpenText, 27,000 consumers were anonymously surveyed globally, across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, USA, Canada, Brazil, Japan, India, Australia and Singapore. 

The Canadian research polled 2,000 respondents to uncover consumer perspectives around customer experience, the role of digital and how the pandemic has impacted their expectations.

OpenText today announced the launch of OpenText Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Service to help enterprise customers uncover hidden risks and threats before they have a financial, legal, or reputational impact. This new service is the latest addition to the OpenText Security portfolio.

Headline-making events like Solar Winds and the recent HAFNIUM hack have exposed a major vulnerability for security teams – a lack of resources to effectively detect and respond to security threats before they become serious incidents. Managed services offer organizations a way to augment their security teams and improve security posture quickly and efficiently.

OpenText Managed Detection and Response (MDR) pairs best-in-breed technologies alongside security personnel with 15+ years of experience working breach response investigations and malware analysis engagements. This extensive experience and understanding of threat actors’ tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP’s) has led to:

• Up to 99% detection rate for unknown threats that have bypassed perimeter security and are present on the network.
• Mean time to detection (MTTD) of less than 30 minutes. Per a SANs institute report, only 50% of organizations have an MTTD of less than 24 hours.
• Up to 97% reduction in event noise and false positive alerts, focusing analysts on those alerts that represent the greatest risks while increasing the accuracy of threat identification.

Webcor Builders, a large commercial construction contractor with headquarters in San Francisco, California was an early client of the OpenText MDR service. It resulted in crucial improvements to their overall security defenses and increased their ability to react to security events in real-time. 

OpenText MDR is built around a 100% remote, cloud-based virtual security Operations Center (V-SOC) supported by machine learning and MITRE ATT&CK analytics.  OpenText teams can ingest any log source and develop correlations between desktops, laptops, servers, firewall logs, IoT devices, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) logs, proxy logs, etc. using artificial intelligence and advanced workflows. Threat intelligence via BrightCloud® Threat Intelligence Services is integrated directly to help businesses understand the scope and impact of any security event and directly integration allows for immediate threat validation to known malware. Finally, endpoint and network technologies are integrated into the solution with people, processes, and procedures in the event of a zero-day or targeted event.

OpenText MDR Services are available now and can provide a cost-effective option to help enterprise security teams find, investigate, and eliminate threats, before they become headlines. For more information or to connect with an OpenText Security Expert, visit OpenText Security Services or register for the live webinar on May 12 – Managed Detection and Response: Uncover hidden risks and threats.

OpenText™ will highlight the recently launched OpenText™ Axcelerate™ Investigation platform during Legalweek(year) 2021. Launched as part of OpenText Cloud Edition 20.4, Axcelerate Investigation expedites early case assessment (ECA) and investigations, helping to improve efficiency and reduce costs by providing rapid access to the facts.

Typical ECA tools collect, process and cull data. For analysis, legal teams must transfer the data to an eDiscovery platform for a full review, use standalone analytics, or both. Axcelerate Investigation helps eliminate potentially error-prone data transfers, time-consuming and costly document reviews and multiple point solutions by combining robust collection, processing and culling with powerful front-ended analytics in a single solution. When full review and production is needed in a case, all data and work product can be seamlessly and automatically uploaded directly from Axcelerate Investigation to Axcelerate Review & Analysis OnDemand in the cloud.

Purpose-built to quickly find the facts, Axcelerate Investigation features:

• Visual analytics, including Hypergraph Communications Map, which helps make complex information easier to understand and uncover relevant data with greater speed and precision.
• Predictive searching and filtering—technology-assisted review on the fly without the workflow—which aids in delivery of rapid insights and identifies unknown unknowns.
• Concept, phrase and sentiment analysis, automated summaries and entity extraction for a faster and deeper understanding of data
• Analytics to identify sensitive, confidential and privileged data

The launch of OpenText™ Axcelerate Investigation comes as the legal community will gather together during Legalweek(year), held virtually beginning February 2 – 4, 2021. Legalweek(year) brings together thousands of legal professions for a series of events on emerging trends, cutting edge legal technology and expert analysis of the tectonic shifts in the industry.

OpenText is leading an educational track at Legalweek(year) on February 2: “When an Investigation Hits: Strategies for Effective and Rapid Resolution When Your Team is Remote,” and will be showcasing Axcelerate Investigation at the OpenText virtual booth on February 4, 2:30-3:30 p.m. EST and in private virtual meetings.

OpenText™  today announced OpenText™ EnCase Forensic and OpenText™ EnCase Endpoint Investigator are now certified on Microsoft Azure. With OpenText Encase solutions in the cloud, law enforcement and corporate investigators can more easily collaborate, enhance evidence processing, investigate in cloud environments, and adjust more quickly to the needs of a remote workforce.

OpenText worked to support Microsoft’s focus on public safety and justice to bring the benefits of Microsoft Azure – efficiency, power, and scalability – to OpenText EnCase solutions for digital investigations. Additional EnCase security solutions will be available on Azure. 

OpenText EnCase Forensic and OpenText EnCase Endpoint Investigator in Azure bring four core benefits of the cloud to law enforcement and enterprise investigators immediately:

1. Efficient, secure collaboration – Investigators can now tap into the power of Azure to quickly and easily share case data for better collaboration with other stakeholders via OpenText™ EnCase Evidence Viewer – an application that enables secure access to case data for outside consulting. 
2. Enhanced evidence processing – Digital investigations often require analysis of terabytes of data. Traditional endpoints have hardware limitations, and processing evidence in extremely high volumes can cause unwanted delay. Investigators can now push evidence to the cloud for quick, efficient processing, alleviating the need for numerous forensic workstations.
3. Access to investigate evidence in the cloud – As organizations shift operations to the cloud and rely more on a universe of IoT devices, investigative teams must keep pace and increase visibility and control in cloud environments. User and application interactions in cloud environments are difficult to view and analyze without brokered access between the cloud vendor and investigative technology. With OpenText EnCase on Azure, investigators can comprehensively process digital evidence, both on-prem and in the cloud, for complete and accurate findings. 
4. Investigate devices anytime, anywhere, with less reliance on corporate network or VPN – COVID-19 forced many businesses to new work-from-home models, complicating the task of corporate investigators to investigate employee devices for evidence of insider threat, HR issues, or other internal investigations. With OpenText EnCase Investigator, corporate investigators can more easily reach out through the cloud to access employee devices and conduct investigations, without disrupting employee productivity.
