A project like this doesn't just come to life from nothing. There needs to be a vision from product marketing and to senior management because you need to get buy in from multiple stakeholders. Innovation is not free, so you need to invest in technology and in your team in order to execute on your vision and plan for the future.

The Challenge
In 2017-2018, Telefónica Germany was accused of delivering an
extremely low level of customer service via its Contact Centers. The issue was reported in the national press, with the problem described as a ‘catastrophe’ in the media.
Customers were unable to connect to customer services over the phone in order to resolve key issues and there was a distinctive lack of solution-based information available via other channels such as email, text and social media. The company had also implemented a system whereby customers were forced to take a specific online route to find support, which had a detrimental impact on the company being able to get feedback and improve customer engagement.
In response to the customer experience crisis, Telefónica embarked on a new path with the launch of a project that was intended to transform the fortunes of the company. A universal and centralized solution was envisioned to radically improve customer engagement and support with an omnichannel solution.
The Solution
A leading Conversational AI platform for a leading telecommunications business
Telefónica’s fully operational solution operates across all channels to realize a consistent omnichannel experience, increase customer satisfaction and create the potential of personalized sales opportunities.
The project was first planned in 2018, with four key pillars established in order to create and guide the building process. With the support of Teneo.ai and its SaaS solution, OpenQuestion, Telefónica Germany owns one of the most complex solutions seen
within the telecommunications industry.
This has been achieved as a result of long-term strategic planning and the depth of features and functions made available through Teneo.ai.
