Self Service and Multi-Channel Background
As part of the core questionnaire, we want to survey Self-Service Channels and innovative ways companies and customers are interacting with one-another.
As companies evolve these solutions, greater levels of integration are required among and between key systems.
We are interested in investigating and understanding the integration between the CIS (Customer Information System) and self-service mechanisms (including both company generated and customer generated communications) These include:
• IVR, Web and other self-service options or other newly expanding means such as social networking, use of SMS/Text, Mobile Apps etc.
• Areas covered could include outage notifications, service appointments, collections, energy usage notifications, program enrollments, bill presentment etc.

Self Service Integration with the CIS

Self-service interaction: much of what we ask about in self-service includes IVR, Web, E-mail, Fax, Kiosk etc., and we add “social networking” and outbound/ informational communications that allow for self-service and customer information
Outbound (proactive) contacts: build upon existing outbound data and information captured currently to understand:o What companies are doing to innovatively reach
customers using outbound (calling, text, email programs, appointment scheduling/confirmation etc.)
CIS Integration: Some focus on how Line of Business applications (billing, trouble, knowledge databases etc) above are integrated with the CIS for better (effective, efficient, responsive) service delivery
Social networking/ Mobile:o Which sites are being used for
what activitieso Plans for expansion or addition,
integration with other key systemso Impact on other channelso Costs associated (mainly in terms
of staffing, technology)o Success storieso Mobile App development and uses
