Working At Us Bank's Credit Card Department

Contrary to the situation at E-Z RP, there is no linkage of customer service representatives to development teams. For instance, CRSs are often the last to gain access about new information or new products. In terms of the organization of customer service, E-Z RP uses a specialized call center where customer service representatives deal with a single product. At Datatronics, the call center is centralized and CRSs deal with all products. E-Z RP uses the second tier support while Datatronics uses a minimal second-tier support. In terms of the training of CSRs, Datatronics only provides minimal on-the-job training while E-Z RP provides extensive training. Datatronics hires employees with basic customer service ability while E-Z RP recruits employees based on customer service skills, business knowledge, and communication ability. The performance metric at E-Z RP is the level of customer satisfaction, while the metric at Datatronics is the time on call or between calls. Although Matt does not intend to reproduce E-Z RP’s customer service system at Datatronics, these are the key issues that he ought to consider in making recommendations for changes at Datatronics.

Up until this point, Third Star Financial Services has operated via a succession of mergers and acquisitions where systems were inherited but never integrated into the network. Its data management has been virtually non-existent and entirely ineffective. Evidence of this can be found in the absence of an enterprise-wide data management solution and the presence of several disparate systems operating independently with no measurable benefit to the company. Due to a lack of actionable data, management makes decisions based on instinct rather than through analysis. A direct consequence of this is a steadily declining market share and loss of high-level employees to competing companies. Fortunately, this discrepancy has been identified and Third Star executives have established the new goal of modernizing and streamlining operations. Using concepts outlined by the Data Management Association (DAMA), this proposed enterprise architecture will allow Third Star to transform their data from a liability to an asset.

5. In the Citibank example, how did Citi use existing laws to alter its business mode?

Occasionally, I receive voicemails from outside consumers that require a return telephone call. I also handle call center telephone duties on the CISCO agent line.

Much of the information received by these call centers needs to make its way back to the parent company. This could be information needed to improve a flaw in a product, or a task that should be continued. The organization should be sure that all information is being properly relayed back and put into effect as needed.

In customer service, the telephone is the second most important link (Lucus, 2015). Modern business use telephones in their day-to-day operations and to communicate with both internal and external customers (Lucus, 2015). Traveling to meet with customers and vendors face to face can be expensive and time-consuming (Lucus, 2015). With the technology of today, you can dial a telephone number or type a text into a cell phone and connect to a customer or vendor half-way around the world almost instantaneously (Lucus, 2015). With fax machines and computer modems, documents and information can be sent in a matter of minutes to customers and vendors miles away (Lucus, 2015). With all those tools, readily available more companies have set up both inbound and outbound telephone staffs (Lucus, 2015). Companies are expanding their customer contacts and are more likely to reach total customers satisfaction through those types of trained specialist (Lucus, 2015).

Competition and technology changes in the telecommunications industry has resulted in declining profits for Desert Communications Incorporated (DCI). The competitive business climate in the telecommunications industry requires DCI to initiate proactive strategies to drive profits. The conventional view of the customer contact center is as a cost center for supporting customer relations (Kaiser, 2011). Learning Team B will demonstrate

The lack of compatibility shows up in the form of different types of data that the finance staff receives. This data includes information provided by facilities via hardcopy reports and must be re-entered. Some of the data received is via data files but the information is not in the correct format. The result is to convert the data or redirect the data to the proper account codes. This can be a logistical nightmare for any company because there are so many methods for records keeping. Consolidation of these records will be highly challenging for Riordan while trying to implement and training staff on how to use the new system (Apollo Group, 2005, 2006).

This project will allow the roll out of three new call centers for the NASA John C. Stennis space center.

Call centers were antiquated and no standardized measurement systems or aggregated goals existed for the call centers, and no centralized policies existed. In addition, Congress had cut the IRS budget by 11%, $4 billion was spent on modernizing information systems but still not completed, and 2,000 employees were laid off. (Davis, 1997)

Krystal is an expert listener and asks additional probing questions to ensure she is working on the correct issue. She is knowledgeable and uses her tools to resolve the reason for the call. As part of the "Repeat Team" this past year Krystal was trained with additional tools and resources in order to prevent a future call back from the customer. By consistently using all of her tools she can resolve the issue in a more efficient manner. Krystal can increase her FCR results by managing the account and not just the reason for the call. By reviewing additional screens, reviewing all the memos on the account, looking at the work order history, verifying open orders, checking for open issue tracks, looking at billing information the customer

There was a dismissal of 5,300 employees and $185 million in fines against Wells Fargo (Stewart, 2017). The bank’s pressure-cooker sales environment made a toxic sales culture. Wells Fargo held unrealistic sale quotas to its employees and held policies that drove employees to participate in illegal behaviors to meet unreachable goals. Employees opened millions of unauthorized credit cards and deposit accounts, fees and other charges were racked up, money was transferred from customers’ accounts without their knowledge and their permission, they also created phony email addresses to enroll customers in online banking services, all to hit sale targets and receive bonuses. Employees who called attention to the abusive, fraudulent behaviors were ignored and wrongfully terminated and retaliated

In this case assignment the credit union Affinity Plus, which is based in Minnesota, will be examined. As they implemented a new control system, focusing primarily on customer needs, they forgo classical principals as authorization processes and limitations for employees. In the following assessment we will evaluate Affinity’s

In 1996, Citibank was an emergent banking institution attempting to increase its market share in the competitive Los Angeles area. In order to do so, the bank’s strategy was to focus slightly less on their financial growth, and much more on providing “a high level of service to its customers”. Management viewed this paradigm shift as “critical to the long term success of the franchise”.
