Read this article about Cognizant, Best Achievement in Operational Excellence to deliver an outstanding Customer Experience Excellence, selected by the independent judging panel, for the 2020 Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Industry Awards program.

Sybil is a Cloud-based application that uses Google Natural Language Processing to perform text analytics like Sentiment & Syntax Analysis and Text Categorization. It is useful in generating insights from any type of unstructured data like user feedback comments.  Sybil also uses Google’s Translate API to translate text from multiple languages to English, so that insights can be generated from multiple locations to give us a consolidated view of the Voice of the Customer.

Sentiment & Syntax Analytics plays a significant role in generating insights from unstructured customer feedback, thereby enabling improvement opportunities in the customer’s product, our customer service support, process improvements and policy changes. Sybil automatically analyzes the feedback to churn out the Sentiment of the feedback, extract lurking negatives and talking points that influenced the sentiment. Using Syntax analysis we identify what the customer is talking about along with why they are talking about. Using a predefined Artificial Intelligence module, we built a custom categorization engine to provide a high-level view of the customers’ concerns. The sentiment score has a correlation to customer satisfaction scores which enabled us to get a better estimate of the customers’ experience though an algorithm called SenseCX.

Sybil uses digital technologies and process engineering that align to Cognizant’s Digital First tenets of customer-centricity, human-centric design, intelligent automation, smart analytics and shared culture. Sybil is a scalable platform that can seamlessly plug into existing workflows by exploiting the power of new age technologies like neural networks / Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Baseline estimates indicate that 3000 comments can take approximately 35 person-days to be analyzed, whereas Sybil can cut this down to as low as 30 minutes. Sybil uses user comments as an input and delivers direction to where the focus should be on investment and product development. Using this direction, the Subject Matter Experts can formulate strategic insights and business recommendations. Sybil addresses challenges around missing opportunities available, as more than 20% of user comments with a high customer satisfaction score in fact have a lurking negative sentence. Such cases typically go unanalyzed as the teams find it very time consuming to analyze every user feedback. This solution has huge replication opportunity in all processes that have unstructured data in the form of user generated text. Improving product and service strategies through Sybil-genated insights can lead to potential CSAT improvement of 4-5% points.

Owing to the complex nature of the integrations that Sybil has, the process excellence teams along with cross-functional teams from service delivery, automation and analytics created a hybrid and agile model of implementation that draws heavily from project management best practices, Six Sigma fundamentals, Lean methodologies and innovative application development.

 

With more than 20 org-wide implementations planned of Sybil and replication opportunities in our overall client landscape, we expect the valuation of Sybil to be at $27 million over the next 3 years. The success of this implementation also entailed innovative tools, client sponsorship and a strong internal sponsorship.
