22 2001 a CRM odyssey How to find your way around a Customer Database Fabio Marchetti, Filippo Avigo - BIPOP CARIRE Alberto Saccardi - NUNATAC Abstract Two brands; three networks of financial consultants; a traditional branch network; virtual channels which saw an increase of over 700% in terms of both clients and total assets in the year 2000: these are the reasons behind the decision taken by the Marketing Service of the Bipop-Carire Group to develop a dedicated customer-centric data infrastructure. To build the Customer Database (CD) the enterprise data warehouse has been integrated with a marketing module for an all-round view of Group clients and a functional data model for Data Mining has been developed. However, not to get lost in a myriad of data and to undertake a proper CRM strategy require appropriate skills and tools to generate relevant market and customer intelligence from the CD. In this paper we will show how we approached and resolved the essential issues in the development of the CD and how we are using it: to instill trust in new clients attracted via virtual channels; to drive and measure BIPOP CARIRE CRM Campaigns; to produce a Profit and Loss statement for marketing activities.. Introduction. Bipop-Carire ranks within the top five Italian financial groups in terms of market capitalization and is considered one of the most innovative for its multi-channel approach and its strategy of expansion abroad. The Group is already present in Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Germany and Austria and is expanding its operating strategy both directly and through joint ventures. Customer satisfaction is the mission of the Group. It is pursued through the offer of a wide range of products (mutual funds, investment trusts, life insurance, personal loans, leasing services and mortgages, but also conventional bank products and online trading) which are customized, with the support of advanced technological tools, to meet the needs of individual customer in every important moment of his/her life at best. Three networks of financial consultants (namely Bipop City, Fineco and Azimut which employ over 3,000 professionals), a network of 300 traditional branches and the virtual bank Fineco, the Italian leader in online trading, work together every day to achieve this ambitious goal. Nunatac is a consulting firm specialised in database marketing, comprising data warehousing and data mining for business purposes. Nunatac is focused on the provision of tailormade business solutions to its clients, using the SAS SYSTEM and is certified SAS Quality Partner. In the first part of this paper we will discuss the main issues dealt with in the development of the Customer Database project, in the second part we will introduce the business objectives that the Marketing Management of the BIPOP- CARIRE Group intends to pursue using the Customer Database. 1. The Customer Database Project: how to build a data environment for CRM. The purpose of the Customer Database project is to provide a CRM supporting System to be progressively implemented which enables BIPOP-CARIRE and its marketing organization to use a System and have the required skills to conduct analysis and profiling of Group customers/prospects. This System consists of: a data environment for data analysis called Data Mart Mining (DMM); 1

23 SAS Enterprise Miner templates for segmentation analysis, scoring and churning models. The Customer Database Project was based on an existing Data Warehouse (DWH) designed for monitoring net assets acquired through Group branches and financial planners. This facilitated many issues such as data integrity and certification. However, to use these data at customer marketing level required DWH integration with a module enabling customer identification and development of customer unique identification code (ID). In fact, building a data environment for marketing purposes requires proper identification of customers as logic business entities. Identification of individual customers by a unique ID is of paramount importance to avoid duplications and lost information. However this is not always easily manageable, especially when multiple customer master files exist and customer data are collected without any normalization and non-duplication validation. In the case of BIPOP, we have used tax numbers or VAT numbers to identify the marketing customer. This is an easy and at the same time efficacious criterion supported by data stored in the information management system. However it should be noted that use of the tax number avoids duplications only for existing customers (internal list) and not for prospects (external list). For the purpose of providing a complete picture of customer behavior the DHW has been expanded to include new types of products/services which had not been considered initially for measurement of net assets. Said products/services are: Debit/credit cards ; Revolving facilities; Services Mortgages; Personal loans. The DMM is BIPOP data environment for marketing analysis of Group clients. Therefore the DMM data model has been designed and developed to meet the following requirements: organized by area to deliver a clear and complete profile of characteristics which distinguish customers in a target marketing view, consistency with bank marketing logics: data organization by service/product area compliance with the marketing customercentric model and customer tracking, efficient data organization: data extraction, summarizing, joining. Compliance with said requirements in turns implies: building partly de-normalized detail data structures and de-normalized structures at customer number level, called Customer Tables; generation of a table containing descriptive information on bank accounts, e.g. opening date, closing date; statistical tables with behavioral data summarized on a monthly basis, e.g. transactions, amounts, balances; a de-normalized data model organized according to a hierarchical logic where each table contains its own key and the keys of tables which are at a higher level in the hierarchical organization ; duplication of data related to bank accounts and transactions at marketing customer level in case of multiple owners. 2. The Business Problem. A properly structured data environment, like the DMM, is the core in the implementation of a customer Relationship Management system. The next step in the implementation of CRM strategies is the creation of customer behavioral profiles and measurement of their propensity to buy a new product/service or terminate the relationship. At BIPOP the decision was made to give priority to behavioral segmentation of retail customers. In fact identification and quantification of clearly differentiated targets and historical analysis of performance in these segments provide the groundwork for the achievement of critical business objectives such as: assessment of potentials for offer customization; cross-selling; identification of targets ensuring profitability of certain specific marketing actions; provision of crucial information to those responsible for preparing the marketing plan; planning of and feed-back on customer loyalty strategies. 2
