Capitec migrated its customer service and helpdesk to the private cloud

Capitec is South Africa’s leading bank with 15 million customers. They are part of the installed base of our partner INOVO, and Enghouse Interactive’s partnership with the All-in-One solution.

They had an urgent need to migrate their customer service and support centers to the cloud. However, circumstances did not allow for a traditional migration project that could take months, so they had to move their 600+ users to a full cloud platform in just two weeks.

Their requirements included:

• Migrating of all existing contact flows, the configuration of all departments, and extensive reporting requirements.
• Review and implement potential optimization initiatives to enhance contact handling, service levels, and visibility (value add reporting and new dashboards).
• Integration into existing CRM.
• Agent training together with business-wide change management initiatives

What were the results?

The transition to the private cloud was seamless, and everything was fully configured and implemented in 4 business days without missing a beat. This was followed by a week of user acceptance testing and agent training. Despite the short timeline, the project was completed within budget and in just a week and a half.

• Smooth transition to the cloud in less than 4 business days.
• One week of user and agent training.
• Project completion: One and a half weeks.
