Transform services sustainably by understanding those life moments that matter
You’re involved in some of the most pivotal moments in your customers’ lives – from helping them to work from home, talk to loved ones, browse the internet, purchase a new phone or, in the current climate, supporting them during financial difficulty. They’re all moments that really matter. So how can you make them perfect?
As telecoms, media and technology (TMT) companies move from being providers of technology to having a more meaningful purpose in people’s lives, we know the focus is on building richer, more rewarding customer relationships which is how we help navigate the unique and evolving challenges of a complex and regulated industry. That’s why so many TMT companies partner with us to transform customers’ experiences.
Based on these strategic partnerships, we’ve put together a selection of insights and reports which consider how organisations can become more resilient and efficient, taking care of their customers one at a time to keep them connected, protected and satisfied.

We consider how they can lead by example by correctly billing customers, and how data analytics, tracing and remediation can assist and build strong brand reputation.

Will customers really pay more for better customer service?
The UKSCI report suggests a growing number of customers are prepared to pay more for better service. Our article explores this further.
The Metaverse could be revolutionary for telecoms, media and technology organisations looking for an alternative retail and customer experience platform. After all, the metaverse is largely a representation of the data that companies collect about their customers, and that data is a top CX priority for executives.

In the context of a changing macro-economic climate, rising energy prices and tightening consumer budgets, communications service providers (CSPs) are having more difficult conversations with their vulnerable customers when it comes to collections.
Organisations must navigate this complicated landscape with empathy: getting the balance right - between driving meaningful business, brand protection, achieving better customer outcomes and building customer loyalty - is a key differentiator.
We partnered with Total Telecom to host a virtual roundtable which explores how organisations can provide ease, empathy, and innovation in the collections process.
