Globe Telecom’s Pioneering Customer Experience Programme

Powered by world-class consulting from Kantar and Medallia technology, the programme is now seen to unite every unit at Globe to delight their customers

Kantar, the world’s leading data, insights and consulting company, has launched its partnership in Asia with leading software firm Medallia for a collaborative customer experience (CX) research program for Globe Telecom, the largest mobile, fixed line and broadband network in the Philippines.

Globe Telecom successfully rolled out the Voice of the Customer (VoC) program in the third quarter of 2019. By leveraging Kantar’s expertise in CX and Medallia’s customer feedback platform, the VoC program provided Globe with a systematic, fully automated real time view of its customer engagements across touchpoints that enable its teams to quickly and proactively resolve issues as they emerge. This makes VoC a part of Globe’s day-to-day conversations, influencing their overall strategy, their ways of working, and ultimately, helping them create a truly customer-centric organisation. 

Globe’s VoC program has so far mapped the experience of its over 91 million mobile and broadband customers across 7 key journey points in 9 customer touchpoints in less than 9 months. Since its launch, the programme has provided a platform for Globe’s business units to identify priority areas for improvement, making customer experience every Globe employee’s concern. According to Kantar, Globe sent 8.4 million invitations for feedback in 2019 and have, thus far, reached 4.8 customers this year.  

Beck Eclipse, Chief Experience Officer, Globe Telecom says, “For us at Globe, providing the best customer experience is a key strategic priority and the defining factor that makes the organization unique. As a barometer for our success, we designed an integrated VoC program leveraging best practices from Kantar and Medallia’s leading-edge solution to crack the complex code governing the strength of customer relationships and sustainability of our business by identifying gaps between customer needs and company performance.”

“Listening” during difficult times

Today, as every individual and every business face the challenges posed by the pandemic, Globe is able to utilize the VoC program to continue “listening” to their customers, allowing them to quickly respond to pressing concerns while adapting to changing customer needs.

By being able to keep its pulse on its customers, Globe is better equipped to quickly respond to their needs, thereby, increasing market share, improving brand reputation and reducing cost to serve. Kantar data showed that, in the last 30 days, while most parts of the country were on enhanced community quarantine, the response rate for Globe’s contact centres improved by 6 points. At the same time, field engineers who were deployed to address customer issues were rated 7 points higher as compared to previous months. “Success comes from understanding customer expectations, as these are the key points of differentiation for any business. It is important to tap into the customer’s emotions in moments

that really matter, as well as to design products and services which create positive, memorable experiences that deliver on the brand promise,” said Nithia Kumar, Head of Customer Experience at Kantar Insights in Asia.

A partnership that puts CX front and centre

With Kantar and Medallia’s partnership, both companies are helping Globe Telecom identify, optimise and activate customer insights for lasting customer engagement and maximum return. This approach brings the VoC program into Globe’s daily operations, and harmonises disparate, siloed teams and data sources. In turn, the program provides critical information and insights that allow Globe to deliver unparalleled customer experiences, ultimately driving company performance and transforming its business.

The ongoing partnership of Kantar and Medallia can likewise help other companies in Asia win in the age of experience. They continue to guide organizations to becoming truly customer-centric and help in identifying impactful and profitable areas of investment. By combining customer feedback with financial and operational information, the solution helps businesses determine how different aspects of their experience affect company performance so they can allocate resources accordingly.

“There is no better time than now to keep track of customer sentiment – when it matters most. These are the times customers will remember the experience a brand gave them and will tell their colleagues, friends and families. But great customer experience doesn’t just happen in times of crisis, it’s an ongoing effort with a change in mindset to putting the customer at the heart of everything the company does,” said Gavin Selkirk, General Manager, APAC at Medallia.

Dell Introduces World’s Most Flexible Modular Zero-Footprint PC

News Summary:

  • Dell’s first-of-its-kind OptiPlex 7070 Ultra hides the PC in the monitor stand for a clutter-free, zero-footprint[1] desktop
  • With the world’s most flexible commercial desktop solution[2], the Dell OptiPlex 7070 Ultra, customers can upgrade their display[3] and PC separately as well as choose display mount and support up to three displays

Full Story:

Dell Technologies today announced the new OptiPlex 7070 Ultra, an innovative desktop that stores its small and powerful technology vertically inside a thin and light display stand. The industry’s most flexible, zero-footprint desktop design, the OptiPlex 7070 Ultra is beautiful, space-saving, and clutter-free; as well as fully modular so customers can configure and upgrade as needed throughout the product lifecycle. This means the PC and display[1] of this zero-footprint desktop can be upgraded and serviced independently of one another. 

  • “IT leaders are faced with pressure to keep costs down while giving employees flexibility and freedom to work in ways they’re most productive. As more organizations move to open floor plans, they’re looking for technology that maximizes desk space, employee productivity and IT investments,” said Ronnie Latinazo, Country General Manager, Philippines, Dell Technologies. “Thirty-five years ago, Dell disrupted the way PCs were made and delivered to the world. With the OptiPlex 7070 Ultra, we are changing the category again, with an innovative desktop solution that’s hidden in plain sight.”

“The new OptiPlex 7070 Ultra caters to today’s modern workforces’ desires in a desktop – compact and flexible design, but still allows users the freedom to independently upgrade their technology,” added Latinazo. “This flexible combination of AIO and Micro form factors allows Philippine businesses to help their employees be the most productive while maintaining a clutter-free work environment they desire.”

[1]  Based on Dell internal analysis of competitive products, June 2019. Ultra 7070 supports Dell and 3rd Party VESA Displays up to 27”, sold separately. Zero footprint solution requires OptiPlex 7070 Ultra Fixed or Height Adjustable Stand, supporting VESA mounted displays up to 24” and 27”, respectively.

Dell’s customer research shows companies like the ability to upgrade their systems. They also enjoy the aesthetics of the All-in-One. Because customers tend to upgrade their computers more frequently than their displays, the independent upgradability of the Ultra brings the best of the traditional desktop and the All-in-One together into a single, new, innovative platform.

Flexible, Upgradable, Innovative Design

The OptiPlex 7070 Ultra features configurable elements for ultimate flexibility and performance. Key features include:

  • Independent upgrade of the PC and display[1], so customers can swap out, upgrade or service any part at any time
  • A monitor stand that integrates the PC within and includes physical security options designed to protect against tampering 
  • Flexible configurations ideal for multi-user, open-plan workspaces
  • Configurable to different use cases or work styles with compatible products like a height adjustable stand, fixed stand, VESA mount, Dell Single Monitor Arm | MSA20 for superior adjustability and Dell Dual Monitor Arm | MDA20 for added desk agility[2]
  • Performance and scalability to match users’ needs, up to Intel® Core™ vPro™ i7 processors, 64GB[3] of RAM, 1TB[4] NVMe SSD and 2TB HDD

Additionally, a recent Dell study shows that using two monitors can boost worker productivity by up to 21%[5]. The Ultra can support up to three displays[6] – from 19 to 27 inches – for increased productivity. Power, data, video and audio are transmitted in one single cable when the Ultra is paired with Dell USB-C monitors.

OptiPlex Optimized with Dell Technologies Unified Workspace

Earlier this year, Dell Technologies announced Unified Workspace, a visionary approach to end-user computing designed to give workers a frustration-free, ready-to-work experience while empowering IT with automated, open and intelligent management solutions. The new OptiPlex portfolio is optimized with Dell Technologies Unified Workspace so IT can easily deploy, secure, manage and support these devices, and users can be productive on day one.

  • The Dell OptiPlex 7070 Ultra is now available with a starting price of PHP 53,500.00

Online Shop Like a Pro

Online shopping is fun, convenient, easy and sometimes therapeutic. You get to compare prices, find online discounts, save quite a bit, get more for less. And since it’s Christmas season, there is this irresistible urge to online shop. So sharing here are some of tips for making the best of your online shopping this gift-giving season!

Do lots of searching. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of online shopping is that you can compare similar items at many different stores to find the best bargain. Resist to urge to order the first item that you see; oftentimes, you may find a less pricy identical item at another retailer.

Browse the sale section first. It’s a breeze to search through the discounted merch online, no worry about digging through heaps of “red-tags. You can quickly find a piece that appeals to you. Make use also of coupon and special offers. Don’t have one? Google it! Search ‘retailer name’ discount code, open the first 5 years and hunt for a valid code.

Read customer reviews. Reviews can be a great help in the decision-making process. Reading reviews and ratings can benefit you a lot while shopping for a particular product. These can provide you with more realistic details about the quality. It will help you understand whether the product is worth your money or not.

Fill your wishlist or cart, then edit! Add everything you love to the shopping cart, and then edit down later. By compiling all your favorites in one single place, it’s much easier to compare and decide which pieces you really need. The website might also come back to you with a discount for those items.

Put your budget on the price filter. Restrict yourself with the budget first before you start looking for your favorite dress.

Follow your favourite online shopping website on social media. All e-commerce websites offers promotional discounts and make their shoppers aware of the last minute sales through their social media pages. So, keep track of these pages and follow them.

Avoid dynamic pricing traps. Online retailers are able to offer different pricing depending on your purchasing habits by tracking your internet surfing. So erase your browser’s cookies, log out of your account and search using an “incognito” tab.
