Tokyo Star Bank deploys Avaya contact center solutions to provide omni-channel service

• Bank enhances one-to-one marketing by centralizing contact center systems with CRM system

Tokyo, Japan – The Tokyo Star Bank, Limited (TSB) and Avaya Japan, Ltd (Avaya) announced today that TSB deployed Avaya’s solutions to renew its contact center systems. By centralizing Avaya’s scalable solutions with TSB’s customer relationship management (CRM) system, TSB can further improve customer service and enhance one-to-one marketing, driving TSB’s omni-channel strategy.

The Avaya solution enables TSB to:

• Strengthen one-to-one marketing in collaboration with CRM system

By centralizing the Avaya solution with TSB’s CRM system, TSB is able to collect customer information obtained through different channels in real time, which allows TSB to immediately respond to customers on any channel. For example, the system will identify customers, and it automatically route their call to the right agent to provide tailored and optimal service and suggestions. Especially, referring customer's data with their financial asset volume for its optimal routing is a unique initiative in Japan.

• Secure scalable foundation to digitally enhance Omni channel

As the number of users of digital devices such as smartphones and tablets increases, TSB is able to offer value added advanced services, wherever the customer is. For example, TSB can send web content, such as a store locator in real time in response to an inquiry made on a smartphone.

• Improve resource allocation

The solution visualizes incoming calls and the status of agents in real time, optimizing resource allocation and improving cost effectiveness. Additionally, it will enable TSB to integrate the communications infrastructure within the group companies, including overseas, helping to reduce communications costs and delivering a secure communications environment in future.
