2021 has been a year of change. Organisations worldwide have refocused many areas of their business thanks to the ongoing impact of the pandemic on customer requirements and buying patterns.
The pace of the drive towards using cloud-based services like unified communications, coupled with the enormous shift towards hybrid working that demands improved data connectivity, has pushed businesses to undergo significant reform.
But despite this year’s challenges, we’ve got plenty of good news to report.
Overhauling customer experience
During 2021, Invosys has focused on its people, processes and tools. Thanks to our hard work, we’re entering the new year feeling fitter and better equipped to continue delivering exceptional customer support — no matter the circumstances.
Of course, we haven’t been immune to the industry challenges. But with a senior leadership project kicking off early in 2021, we were prepared for everything 2021 could throw at us.
Internally known as ‘Project Orbit’, our customer services and managed services functions were overhauled radically at the start of the year to ensure we were ready to deliver a world-class customer experience. Under the stewardship of CCO Jane Anderson, Invosys established two new customer-centric teams.
The Customer Support Centre now deals with most of the day-to-day customer-related queries, while the new Technical Support Centre handles more complex requests and offers managed service support. Since we set up the new teams, we’ve seen a marked increase in customer satisfaction and an all-around improved experience for our valued customers.
Strengthening our product portfolio
Ensuring our product offering is up to date with the current trends and market requirements has always been integral to our success.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve evolved our portfolio from a legacy, ‘inbound’ platform to a highly flexible communications product range that moulds to our customers’ specific wants and needs.
For example, we’ve introduced new solutions into our unified communications portfolio, within our connectivity offering and in the management of router configuration servers. Each new addition has been received with gumption by our customers. And the new solutions don’t stop there, with our brand-new fraud protection service due to launch in early 2022.
What’s more, we want our customers to trust the Invosys platform for its products and services. CTO Stuart Mills and his team have worked tirelessly to innovate new features and solutions on the Invosys platform, ensuring we’ve delivered 100% on-time across 2021. This achievement has given our customers greater confidence in our products and has motivated us further to provide only the best reliability.
Revamping our website
The whole Invosys team worked diligently behind the scenes on something big…
We’re thrilled to be launching our new website at the start of 2022. This project has been months in the making and will see a brand-new logo, updated design, refreshed copy and slick new navigation across the website. We’re still the same Invosys you know and love, just with an improved online shopfront that’ll enhance our customers’ experience and user journey.
Rewarding our staff
It wouldn’t be an Invosys end-of-year round-up without the Invosys Annual Business Awards!
