Chordiant featured in 1to1 Magazine: “What’s Wrecking Your Customer Experience?â€?

Chordiant News: “The customer experience.” It’s a widely spoken phrase, often used as a catch-all term for companies’ efforts to improve operations and rally employees and consumers. Most companies want to elevate the customer experience, but somewhere between the good intentions and actual implementation, many things can break down. The current state of the customer experience is not ideal.

Chordiant featured in American Banker: “Banks Using CRM Tools to Improve Collectionsâ€?

Chordiant News: Banks are using advanced collections systems to spot troubled loans before they go bad and to help their employees determine which borrowers might be receptive to modification offers.“The industry has forgotten how to collect. The [boom] economy had allowed it to lose that skill,” said Dennis Moroney, a research director at TowerGroup in Needham, Mass. “Today that’s a bad thing.”

Chordiant Software featured in Bank Technology News: “Daylight Come and They Need Loans Paidâ€?

Chordiant News: Most of us would like to believe a new, brighter day has dawned. Part of creating that reality for banks requires improving collections systems to locate troubled loans that can be prevented from hitting the default dustbin, then helping overburdened staff reach a resolution that gets the borrower paying again. There’s also a bit of amnesia that has to be cured.

Chordiant Software featured in BrandRepublic: “Retail Banks to focus on the customer in 2010â€?

Chordiant News: Traditionally, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has not taken precedence within financial institutions and this has been further exacerbated by inflexible legacy systems which were not built with the customer in mind. To illustrate this issue, a recent study commissioned by Chordiant and conducted by Vanson Bourne found that that only 57 per cent of customer representatives questioned in the UK’s High Street retail banks had software that helped them suggest what products or services would be appropriate for an individual customer.

Chordiant Software featured in TechDecisions: “Who’s There? Customer Service Steps to Forefrontâ€?

Chordiant Software News: The rock band The Who is known for asking the musical question: “Who Are You?” But it is the insurance industry (and fans of the TV show CSI) that often echoes lead singer Roger Daltrey’s next line, “I really want to know.”

So, how well do insurers know the people buying their policies? Not as well as they would like, as evidenced by the increasing amount of money being spent on customer service solutions.

Chordiant Software featured in ebizQ: “Making BI Actionable Through Decisioning Capabilitiesâ€?

Chordiant News: Business intelligence (BI) has been a maddening capability for a long time. Sure, increasingly accurate, informative, and visually appealing reports now reveal where your most significant business challenges are, but by the time you have access to this insight, significant damage may already have been done. And looking at a problem, no matter how elegantly presented in a BI solution, is very different than solving it.

Chordiant News: Discussing the evolution of business intelligence can be confusing due to terminology and ambiguous buzz words. To avoid discussions around the much abused ‘2.0’ moniker, Roman numerals will be used to simply denote subsequent maturity levels of BI. It is left to the reader to decide where BI 2.0 fits in this progression.

Too often, companies ignore their customers’ experiences until alarm bells are clanging, and then they make expensive, last-ditch efforts to hold on to defecting customers, often losing them anyway.

Chordiant featured in Claims Magazine: “Customer Is Kingâ€?

Last year was one of the costliest years for insurers in history, with record-setting Atlantic hurricane losses amounting to $43 billion, as well as man-made catastrophic disasters culminating at $7 billion — nearly double the annual averages from 2007. With claim costs averaging 60 to 70 percent of an insurer’s costs, losses could add a minimum of three to four points on operating costs. This is not a good thing in the current market environment.
