Cloud contact center solution vs on premise image

The customer is one of the leading banks in India, with 1000+ agents managing various processes. The infrastructure is pretty robust with its call centers and outsourced call centers.

They were selling products like fixed deposits, personal loans, credit cards, and bancassurance products of both life and medical insurances of 3rd party organizations.

They had call centers across different regions of India, and each of them was using different on-premise solutions. They weren’t getting a single unified view of their call center operations, as their on-premise solutions resided in silos. Being in the banking industry, they are incredibly process-oriented with stringent data security and information security standards.

The Challenge

All of a sudden, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, and the lockdown process was put in effect. This lockdown put the bank in a challenging situation as they weren’t able to make use of their on-premise call center suite for their outbound calling and campaigns.

They were stuck and were looking for a robust solution to keep their 1000+ agents productive and on the job.

This was when we approached them, and they figured that our solution would fit their needs.

Demonstration and Evaluation

We demonstrated our cloud-based contact center platform. Upon successful demonstration, they asked for an evaluation of the system.

Our platform was evaluated by their internal teams – purchase and commercial, as well as their partners on the following:

  • Data security and information security
  • Compliance to PCI standards
  • Vulnerability assessment of the platform
  • Process-compliance and the ability to configure their workflows
  • Robustness of the platform
  • Legal compliance to DoT norms

They were so satisfied by our security compliance with standards and the bank’s specific needs. The bank also took references from some of our industry-leading clients.

Deployment of Banking Contact Center

After successful evaluation, they approved the purchase of our platform for 300 agents. The entire platform was rolled out within two working days, and they were operational immediately.

They are currently using it for outbound dialing and outbound campaigns.

Outbound Dialingpredictive dialing to directly sell, upsell, and cross-sell their products to their existing and new customers

Outbound and Inbound Campaigns – SMS campaigns are sent, and when a customer shows interest, the call gets routed to an agent in the call center. Similarly, they send out Voice messages using our Automated Intelligent Voice Messaging Solution (AIVMS) to user groups, and the interested people are provided with call routing to speak to agents live.

Now, they want to extend our platform to other processes, and they have agreed to roll this platform to another 500 agents in the next two weeks.
