An omni-channel user experience is largely about meeting the customers at eye-level and accompanying them in real-time at all touch points. In today’s technology driven era, a well-connected business approach is required which integrates an organization’s operations, functions, products and services, and employees together and gives the business a holistic, value creating digital model. Improving user experience goes beyond providing user interfaces across multiple devices, it is also about how well integrated the processes are across channels. This means for digital transformation to happen in an organization, businesses need to incorporate innovative technologies to their business operations.
Digital transformation is the process of adopting new technologies and incorporating them into the business with the aim to modernize and update the existing operations, functions and business processes to increase value and revenues.
The creation of new digital capabilities is one of the key methods that needs to be employed by telecom operators to achieve digital mastery. The building blocks of digital capabilities include:
- Customer experience
- Operations
- Business model
To equip the business with these building blocks of digital capabilities, the telecom operators need to transform their business completely -in terms of customer experience and business models – through digital technologies. This simply does not mean that an organization implements software systems and waits for it to reap benefits. It requires the telecom operators to make changes to how they interact with their customers through integrated omni-channel. Bringing about these changes is a gradual and time-consuming process.
The first step towards the change is to introduce a range of different channels through which the resellers can connect with the telecom operators. It requires the telecom operators to offer an integrated omni-channel user experience for the resellers ensuring a boost to their business value. These include: the web, mobile applications, and other diverse channels through which they are able to stay in constant contact with the telecom operators. Not only this but using a diverse range of channels through which the resellers can carry out transactions gives an added advantage of convenience and 24/7 accessibility to the subscribers.
