Intelligent Data Whilst customers are the heart of Intelligent Customer Engagement, data is the brain.

This includes: Tailored data collection mechanisms to ensure that information is captured in relevant and usable forms, enabling the efficient use of Robotic Process Automation toolkits Robust data security & retention management to ensure that we and our clients remain fully compliant with all relevant legislation including PCI DSS and GDPR compliance Data presentation & reporting to ensure that day to day service decisions are supported by clear intelligence that allows staff and managers to focus on making the correct decision rather than simply collating information Service design and support where our data provides clear evidence to support changes in service design, often challenging long held assumptions to ensure decisions truly reflect the reality of government services Predictive analytics where our demand and service forecasting toolkits ensure that we not only have the right skills available at the right time to manage peaks and troughs in service demand, but we can also help our client prepare for the future in a changing service landscape Services The use of Intelligent Customer Engagement is at the core of our service design resulting in an efficient and effective back office.
