5 Andy Lee Head of the UK Regional Contact Management Team for Collections. HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world. HSBC's international network has around 7,500 offices in 87 countries and territories across Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, North, Central and South America, the Middle East and Africa. We have around 100 million customers worldwide. 5

6 Business Issues & Key Drivers Move to adopt a more Regional / Global approach across the bank and create Centres of Excellence around the globe. Once we had decided on the approach we needed to align the technology best suited to make the initiative a reality. Prior to this, we had lots of legacy technology CIMphony, Avaya, Melita with local owners, each with different methods of operating with varying degrees of effectiveness. A new single standard platform was needed across the group. Technical experts recruited in 4 Regional Centres with a Global team whose advisory role is to ensure best practise is standardised and shared across the teams. Europe & Middle East, Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America My team provides services to, UK (HSBC, JLP, MSM,HFC), HSBC Turkey, HSBC Middle East (Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, Dubai), HSBC France and shortly HSBC Egypt and Greece. Contact Management - including Dialler Management. Collections is my biggest customer, but we also manage Sales for some areas. 6

7 Rollout to date & Business Benefits Aspect UIP 6.6 and ALM 3 has been rolled out to all regions with the final few installations being tested currently. Implementations of UIP 7 and ALM 4 will start later this year. Having a regional approach has allowed us to standardise and reduce the amount of hardware needed, consolidate licence costs and overall support costs will also fall. Effective use of the technology and having experts in place has improved our efficiency by around 30% in the last 18 months. This is an ongoing evolution which we expect to continue in the future. 7

8 Best Practice/Lessons Learned Truly understand all that the technology offers even if you can t use it all today. Compare the system to your long term blue print. Some of the technology is complicated! Make sure you invest in the people who will be managing the technology. If they do not have a good appreciation of the systems, business productivity will suffer. Share your understanding and ask questions of other users. Someone somewhere will probably have done what you want to do. Network and get a good set of contacts and use the Aspect forums. 8

16 Simon Hunter, Scheduling & WFM Manager 16

17 Lloyds Banking Group Telephone Banking Lloyds Banking Group, formed in January 2009 when Lloyds TSB acquired HBOS. The largest retail bank in the UK; one in three people bank with us. Telephone Banking is a multi-branded inbound/outbound division covering: LloydsTSB Halifax Bank of Scotland Birmingham Midshires Sainsbury s Bank Sales and Service for Personal Banking customers: Current Accounts Savings Accounts Credit Cards Loans Online Helpdesk Mortgage Sales 20 Sites, 7000 consultants, 24x7 operation 17

18 Business Issues & Key Drivers Commitment to the City and government to reduce operating costs by 1.5bn* in the first three years following the formation of LBG. Much of these savings can be achieved through synergy benefits (combining technology, sites, departments and harmonising processes). Across the Group, multiple WFM solutions deployed with multiple vendors: LTSB Telephone Banking Aspect ewfm HBOS Telephone Banking IEX TotalView Both solutions in place for 10+ years In order to realise synergy benefits as quickly as possible the decision was made to migrate HBOS onto Aspect ewfm. *Actual reduction 2bn achieved. 18

19 Rollout to date 80% of agents (~3,600) migrated to LTSB systems (Desktops & ACDs). Remaining colleagues in plan for Deployed ewfm to migrated population in September 2011 as part of the migration of HBOS accounts to LTSB systems. All employees setup on ewfm using Employee Import. Existing schedule data extracted from TotalView, mapped and converted to allow import into ewfm (using Segment Worksheet and Aspect Professional Services). Coinciding with the roll-out of ewfm we opened up 2012 holiday booking using Empower (using 3 rounds of holiday booking). Employee Personal Accounts imported using PAB Importer. Still currently reliant on TotalView for some payroll data so a solution built to extract schedules from ewfm and import into TotalView. Full decommission of TotalView for these agents expected Q

20 Business Benefits With the bulk of Telephone Banking on one system we have been able to harmonise many processes bringing consistency across the estate and within our planning teams. This has enabled our planning team to continue to deliver even with a significant reduction in headcount. The flexibility of Empower means that we have been able to introduce a number of improvements to colleague holiday booking including: Wait-lists 75% rule Service Manager authorised holidays Significant automation of 2013 Round 1 holiday booking Work now underway to fully harmonise Telephone Banking setup on ewfm, in particular one set of segments (currently legacy segments still in use). Overtime via Empower currently at proof of concept stage. SQL Server database (with helpful documentation!) means that we have been able to fully audit our system to ensure that all planning is as accurate as possible and enable a reduction in failure demand from colleagues. 20

21 Best Practise/Lessons Learned Empower incredibly powerful but can be confusing at times for employees Why is my holiday not showing on my schedule even though the request is showing as Official? Because your request was to cancel the holiday you already had on your schedule! I was on the wait-list in position 1 but now I m position 3, why? You haven t changed; your request is for multiple dates and you are in different position on different dates I don t know why my request has failed! Have you even looked at Request Viewer? RTFM! In order to harmonise to one set of segments we now have 1,000s of roster cells to change. With hindsight we may have taken a different approach to the migration. Customer Days and Online Forum are helping us create a new network of experts to share best practice! 21
