Success Stories
Optimizing customer interaction through the use of innovative technologies at a Swiss retail bank
Initial situation
The Swiss bank was faced with the challenge of reducing the volume of incoming customer calls, which had increased significantly due to extensive changes in e-banking. As part of the measures to reduce call volume, the goal was to expand self-service solutions and optimally guide customers at the digital touch points along the customer journey.
At the same time, the Swiss bank was faced with an increase in written customer inquiries, which made an efficient processing solution essential. As a strategic response to this, the goal was defined to develop an advanced AI-supported system to increase the efficiency in processing these requests.
Our contribution
- Reduced call volume: Implementing new and improving existing self-service solutions contributed significantly to achieving the goal of reducing customer call volume
- More efficient processing of written customer inquiries: The development and introduction of an AI-supported tool enables the bank’s employees to process written customer inquiries faster and with high quality
- Increased customer satisfaction: Customers benefit from faster and more efficient digital self-service solutions, resulting in an increase in overall customer satisfaction
Client benefit
- Support for strategic projects from concept development to technical implementation and rollout
- Requirements analysis, process design, solution design and project planning of service solutions and AI applications
- Examination of existing digital self-service solutions in comparison to the market offerings, combined with the creation of a comprehensive report that includes targeted recommendations for action
- Reduced call volume: Implementing new and improving existing self-service solutions contributed significantly to achieving the goal of reducing customer call volume
- More efficient processing of written customer inquiries: The development and introduction of an AI-supported tool enables the bank’s employees to process written customer inquiries faster and with high quality
- Increased customer satisfaction: Customers benefit from faster and more efficient digital self-service solutions, resulting in an increase in overall customer satisfaction
AI architecture review and development of suggestions for improvement
Initial situation
The enterprise architecture of a medium-sized bank wants an external view of the current AI solution design and a clear approach to implement AI solutions and receive recommendations for future design of the same. This is important because the bank does not have any AI experts internally, the use of the technology is new to the bank (apart from purchased black box solutions) and business demand for AI solutions is likely to increase significantly.
The aim is to support the enterprise architecture – and in particular the text assistant usecase – in the following areas:
- Architecture and solution finding
- Competencies
- Method
- documentation
Our contribution
- Clear status analysis that clearly shows the current problems but also opportunities in implementing the solution
- Suggested solutions to increase internal competencies and improve the resilience of data-driven requirements
- Unmistakable description of why enterprise architecture should be brought more into play in order to avoid isolated solutions
- Showing the current problems and opportunities in the collaboration of different teams
Client benefit
- As part of the mandate, recommendations and appraisals were made on company-wide AI efforts in corporate architecture, cloud and compliance, as well as on the implementation, procedure and architecture of a specific use case.
- Interview with various parties involved in the topic of AI, summary of the conversations and recommendations for organizational improvements.
- Comprehensive presentation that examines both the technical aspects of the LLM-RAG approach and the costs of the various on-premise and public cloud solutions in more detail.
- Moderation of workshops between Value Stream Lead, external solution provider and the internal development team with the aim of suggesting improvements for the further course of the project.
