It currently ranks among the top five banks in ASEAN, and is a Qualifying Full Bank in Singapore, where it employs about 1,200 people. The bank aims to bring a seamless banking experience and a wide variety of banking services to its customers, offering the ability to conduct banking transactions at any time and from anywhere using traditional and electronic channels.?Maybank had a goal of driving greater profitability through better customer retention and acquisition and improved operational efficiency. By becoming more customer-centric, Maybank hoped to transform from a traditional l banking model to relationship banking. ?The bank had previously deployed a customer relationship management (CRM) solution, E-Point, for use in their call center, however with a greater focus on customer service and sales, various issues became apparent for the customer-facing teams. ?Employees in the sales and services teams were often working from outdated information, as the existing CRM solution did not support the synchronization of customer information with the core banking systems. As the existing solution did not work with the latest integration technologies, Maybank could not upgrade the solution to receive information more frequently.?Service staff needed efficient workflow processes and a single view of customer information that could be accessed across business units to improve customer service by reducing turnaround time on simple tasks. Furthermore managers wanted to better handle incidents and track customer compliments, so they could address concerns while recording positive feedback for marketing purposes or to recognize employee performance. With no system in place for this, Maybank was using manual processes to monitor feedback which made it difficult to locate specific comments due to the lack of a formalized tracking process.?There was also a need to improve collaboration between the sales and marketing teams to ensure timely follow up on leads and closure of sales. Sales managers needed more visibility into the sales pipeline to increase the predictability of deals and were manually assigning and tracking leads and marketing lists to front-end sales personnel by name lists, which proved to be time consuming.?In the area of service fulfillment process, the bank needed to improve visibility of escalation and tracking for customer service requests, as long delays incurred during inter-department investigations and resolutions relating to customer feedback often resulted in reduced service levels.?The selection of a flexible and scalable CRM system with the right capabilities was critical to help drive greater profitability through better customer retention and acquisition and improved operational efficiency. Lim KuoSiong, Head of IT and eBusiness, Maybank Singapore, says, “Equipping our front-line and middle-office users with accurate customer insights and a holistic view of the customer’s relationships with the bank would not only bring about better targeted selling and relationship building but also help reduce possible operational risks.” SolutionVendors were invited to submit proposals for a CRM solution to fit the bank’s requirements and business and technical evaluators assessed both the vendors and the proposed CRM solution. Maybank Singapore gathered information from industry reports as well as the vendors themselves to assess the proposed solutions. After a thorough review, the bank selected the Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution to be deployed by Avanade Asia due to lowest cost of ownership, rapid time to market, extensive business features, integration capabilities, ease of use and user familiarity with Microsoft office solutions. ?“After considering multiple solutions, we realized that Microsoft Dynamics CRM offered the best solution for our business due to its ability to integrate multiple business units and to support collaboration between sales, marketing and services teams,” says Lim.?The CRM solution is used by over 350 employees in departments including the call center, customer experience management, system and user support, branches sales and service personnel, affluent banking, direct banking channels, telesales, marketing and business analysis, collections, credit authorizations and card operations.?The project was completed in two phases. The first phase covered architecture, the single customer view, CRM services, service fulfillment workflows, and incident management for compliments and complaints. The bank wanted to achieve a single customer view that captured data including customer demographics, lifestyle preferences and interactions as well asreal-time application statuses, account summaries and interaction history. Customized notes were included that could be configured as alerts to notify staff for example of events like birthdays, anniversaries and other alerts relating to account servicing and even, risk management. The second phase saw the deployment of end-to-end sales, lead and campaign management modules and service request function, marketing alerts and various service notifications.?The CRM solution interfaced with seven different systems for real time customer information, retail banking, credit cards, unit trusts, the data warehouse, loyalty management, loan approvals, and e-mail and SMS notifications. This helped to provide customer information, account/portfolio holding information, and transaction history in real time. Maybank incorporated the service fulfillment module, e-mail and SMS notification functions, campaign management and execution, leads and sales opportunity fulfillment, customer alerts (risk and event based), and incident management (compliments and complaints) into the single customer view.?The flexibility and stability of the new solution made it easier for the project team to successfully implement the first set of clustered application and database servers with software-based load balancing, which was a milestone for the bank’s technical team and IT partners. ?“The industry knows and has experienced that complex integration projects like CRM not only require the right people, but the right tools to make it a success,” adds Lim. “Microsoft Dynamics CRM and its robust .NET platform enabled us to simplify the huge and complex integration works across various host systems from IBM AS/400-, Windows- and Unix-based platforms and meet the goal of achieving ‘single customer view’ in the shortest time possible.”?The breadth of the deployment meant that hands on training had to be conducted in batches over the course of a month for all users. Maybank Singapore conducted ‘train the trainer’ sessions to share deeper knowledge throughout the organization. BenefitsWith the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM across multiple business units, Maybank Singapore was able to address its critical challenges and has already realized numerous benefits. ?Greater CollaborationThe collaboration capability of Microsoft Dynamics CRM helped the bank to maximize operational synergies between various units to improve sales and service standards. The marketing and sales units are now able to collaborate on campaign executions, lead follow-up and fulfillment through the automated sales and leads workflow and online tracking and reporting capabilities, providing more detail on the sales pipeline. Since deploying Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the bank has automated the execution and tracking of numerous campaigns and generated over 800,000 leads from the bank’s business intelligence system used for marketing analysis, data mining and lead generation. ?The sales and service teams now have a common and integrated application environment from which to track service fulfillment and incident management, and the solution has supported the fulfillment of thousands of sales opportunities in less than a year of Phase 2 deployment. With greater collaboration and reduced turnaround time between front and middle-office units through the implementation of automated service-request workflows and escalation capabilities, pipeline visibility has improved. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution has helped users drive towards Maybank’s goal of continuously delivering customer service excellence. ?Rapid Availability of Accurate InformationBy establishing real-time as well as synchronized batch integration of critical customer and account data from other bank systems and core banking systems, Maybank Singapore achieved its objective of a single customer view. This has resulted in a significant improvement in the accuracy, availability and timeliness of information for front-end sales and service operations.?Improved Customer ServiceThe deployment of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution has led to a significantly improved experience for Maybank’s customers due to reduced response times and a higher standard of service from better collaboration between teams. The new solution has logged over 993,000 customer interaction records which can be used for needs analysis and value added products and service improvements, resulting in a refined service offering.?Furthermore, the solution has improved the incident management capabilities of the bank through efficient and visible incident reporting, escalation and follow-up; reducing the time spent investigating incidents and leading to faster resolutions for the bank’s customers. Customer comments, complaints and compliments coming from various customer touch points have also been captured within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution, enabling tracking of customer satisfaction as well as employee recognition when compliments are received. The feedback recorded has helped the bank to identify innovative new services to offer to its customers.Reduced Operational CostsThe implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM helped the bank to automate many sales and service fulfillment activities between the front-end service channel and middle-office support units, improving operational efficiency and sales capability while reducing the time taken to respond to customer requests, feedback and fulfillment objectives. 28575008804275Software and ServicesMicrosoft DynamicsMicrosoft Dynamics CRM00Software and ServicesMicrosoft DynamicsMicrosoft Dynamics CRM5549908255000This case study is for informational purposes only.
