Problems faced and reasons for implementation

When Bharti had started out operations (1995), the whole system was manual Only 40 percent of the customer issues were getting resolved Were not meeting the customers expectations Customer loyalty was a major concern.

Had many local players (dealers, vendors etc) Had huge issues in meeting the demands of the growing customer base. Were not able to centralize the services and give a common brand experience. Was hard to service customers across sectors. The subscriber base was growing at a healthy 15-20%. Airtel crossed the 1

Not able to recharge amounts anywhere in India. One had to carry scratch cards. Not able to pay bills anywhere in India Low customer retention Hutchs (now Vodafone) customer service was rated far superior.

"As part of our vision, we intend to provide AirTel services anywhere and at any time. A customer should get the same quality of service no matter which of our call centers he contacts. This has been our vision, and because of that we have gone in for a centralized application like CRM, Amrita Gangotra, Group Chief, IT Solution Engagement

Business approach that understands, anticipates and manages the need of current and potential customer of an organization. Integrating People, Processes and Technology of an organization Effective use of Information about customer to maximize customer satisfaction as well as cost reduction and increased profitability for an organization

Installed a WAN Mutiple Leased lines on all major locations Initiated the process of setting up an extranet to reach out to vendors and dealers Storage Area Network (SAN) was put in place The main data center is located at Gurgaon

Oracle CRM went live in the first quarter of 2004 Managed to overcome many technical problems Technology partners include Oracle, SUN Microsystems, IBM and HP. Voice services (IVR) are provided by Nortel which was integrated with Oracle CRM.

Issues and solutions, always go hand in hand

Problem getting user community (employees) to accept it Users forced to work harder to create processes and re-engineer systems around the new implementation CRM Training for all related employees Even best in class products are known to fail because of poor training

Integration of services across all 23 circles and upgrading the organization to provide newer services like up selling of relevant schemes, customized SMS burst etc. Maintaining the service levels at the same time enabling transition to CRM implementation.

Airtel had many independent systems, which had to be integrated. This also involved porting data from each system which totally went to terabytes. Had to design a proper workflow automation Facilitation of knowledge sharing.

ORACLE adds Magic to AirTel

Customer segmentation Cross selling and up selling of relevant schemes Market analytics like records of customer profiles, profile, payment history etc Generation of accurate leads and SMS bursts that target only the right customers based on their segmentation is possible First time resolution has increased from 40 % to more than 90 %.

Customized and simplified bill formats, payment collection centers, network deployments, and the activation process was enabled Better value added services were provided Why shouldnt a person from Pune, holidaying in Kashmir, be able to make payments?

It facilitated knowledge sharing amongst employees. Started e-billing Customized offers based on usage profiles.
Discounts on reaching threshold Recharge offers to low worth users Invitations to movie screenings and events Up selling of services to select customers

Online customer support on new system

The customer gets the same level of service across India especially from call centers. Reduced cost of customer or customer acquisition cost System is highly scalable as the number of subscribers increase. Airtel reached the 50 million subscriber mark recently.

Automatic escalation of problem to superior authority on breaching pre-set time limit. CRM automatically suggests products to customer when they announce to leave Airtel. Has resulted in savings because of fewer calls.

Lets talk global

With such a narrow window, we have to make sure we score every time. We use CRM analytics to generate accurate leads from a customer database. Were going to try and capitalize on information. Anurag Parashar, Head,
Customer Service Delivery, Bharti Televentures

The results so far have been promising Airtel has been presently riding on the telecom boom. CRMs effectiveness would be put to test during slump. Airtel chose the right implementation partners This model would be implemented across all group companies.

The call centre should be more equipped to divulge more information. Increase in advertisement to compete against Vodafone.
