Read this article about Cognizant, Best Achievement in Data Analytics enabling Operational Excellence, selected by the independent judging panel, for the 2020 Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Industry Awards program.
Cognizant is focused on providing transformation solution for customers through digitization, analytics, and automation in essence of building long-term partnerships.
We provide customer experience transformation leveraging Technology solution with embedded Analytics. This embedded Technalytics (Technology and Analytics) approach focuses on advanced “predict and act” type of models implemented through cognitive computing.
Scope of the Project:
Cognizant provides Technical service support for a Chain of 3000+ stores in ANZ. Store managers make 30k calls in a month with an average handle time of 9 minutes…i.e. 27,000 hours of call time in a year
Cognizant’s focus is to make sure Stores representatives should be spending more time with visiting end customers not with helpdesk resources trying to fix an issue. Cognizant’s Digital transformation in contact centers is focused on reducing the need for the user to contact customer support. This initiative was initiated with four distinct objectives
- Eliminate the contact
- Deflect the contact to new age digital mediums
Where the above two are not possible
- Reduce the time spent during the interaction and
- Provide Proactive Solutions i.e., solve the concern before the customer perceives (in pipeline)
Phase 1 and 2 yielded about 18% and 12% interaction volume reduction, the scope of the current project is to reduce time spent during the interaction using the following approach
- Identify caller
- Profile caller and Predict the reason for call
- Pre-empt solution & Provide technology enabled support to associate
This has yielded 13% reduction in interaction time.
Solution Overview:
Current state call flow process:
Re-imagined Technology enabled call flow process:
Project duration: 24 -26 weeks
Complexity: Integrated effort from teams with different skillsets - Transformation, Voice technology, Predictive analytics and Application development
With embedded data analytics, we link the caller, store and historical data; we provide real time prediction of issues for which the call is made and provide analytics enabled solutions that are faster and accurate.
Impact on Business and Client:
- Best-in-class customer experience
- Reduced call handling time (prediction accuracy at 85%)
- Zero unknown variables for associate when call lands
Business value:
- 10% -15% productivity gains for Client
- Customer satisfaction improvement to 98% from 95%
- Knowledge base and troubleshooting tree uplift by 30%
- Improvement in resolution by 4%
With Technalytics, by improving our CSAT to 98% and resolution improvement by 4%, our efforts to keep the stores staff happy continues. We are helping Stores reps to focus their valuable time in serving and delighting the customers visiting the stores.
We believe a true Helpdesk associate should be speaking caller’s mind – we are reaching there with data science & analytics.
