Using technology to transcribe and audit calls can enable firms to analyse 100% of calls, but the challenge is uncovering deeper business insights from recordings, identifying priorities for further analysis, and developing a strategic approach to apply it. The company needed support developing voice and text analytics capabilities to tackle this obstacle and build a cohesive system to monitor calls and explore options for expanding these capabilities into other business areas; including first and second line, data analytics, data privacy and protection.
Starting with a small dataset, a proof-of-concept was developed to analyse the initial set-of-use cases. This was then incrementally built upon with a larger and more targeted dataset. Regular meetings were held with the business to understand the most valuable key metrics. Specifically, on customer outcomes, potential identification of vulnerable customers, and call-centre performance.
The next step was assessing the facility for extracting the necessary data from existing sources. We then considered which techniques should be applied to the data to generate the metrics. Machine learning, AI, and visualisation solutions were applied where needed.
High-level architecture
We developed voice and text analytics use cases across the first, second and third lines. The project’s technical environments: Azure, Python, and Power BI supported the analysis of various quantified data dimensions.
We played a key role in successfully exploring and designing a solution for providing supporting data for regulatory mandates, such as the Consumer Duty, where information on customer journeys and outcomes needs to be easily and quickly qualified.
This solution provided a broader reach on product development, identifying client priorities and propensity, and better customer journeys for their respective pension and insurance products.
Our team offers advisory, assurance, and implementation support to help you make the most of your text analytics capabilities. Working closely with your business, we can play a key role in successfully exploring and designing a voice and text analytics programme to address regulatory risk management shortfalls.
