Use case

The Summary

The client handles thousands of customer queries every day with a dedicated call center setup. They also record calls for quality, training, and compliance purposes. Apart from this, their on-premise legacy PBX system could not handle the load during peak hours.

The client wanted to minimize their call center IT costs, boost employee productivity, and scale as per demand. Also, they wanted to enable work from anywhere with efficient collaboration and secure connections.

The client engaged Aokumo to modernize its call center on an urgent basis with cloud-based platforms, services, and tools.

Before

The legacy PBX system had limited storage, not supporting the business requirements of keeping the recordings for an extended period.

The system was costly to upgrade, and data was not portable, making it useless to use outside the existing system without proprietary software.

Inability to integrate with modern systems like CRM to quickly access customer data impacted the customer services lifecycle.

The lack of high availability and data redundancy presented a business risk and was not in line with internal DR policies.

After

Aokumo conducted a workshop to identify the scope of improvements and built a roadmap and executable action plan to migrate the on-premise call center to Amazon Connect.

We built a prototype to get the client familiar with the technology, captured all workflows, and tested the complete system with a small team before complete rollout.

We integrated cloud-native tools, including Amazon Transcribe for speech recognition, and Data Lake for analytics.

We also integrated Salesforce CRM and business analytics tools to make operations data-driven and efficient.
