What is customer experience and how does
Transcom add value?
2
What is customer experience?
• There is a multitude of “touch points” where
a customer can interact with an
organization, e.g. when evaluating,
purchasing, using, or getting support for a
product
• Customer Experience = The sum total of
a customer’s experience with a product, a
service, or a brand
8
“Customer experience is how your customers
perceive their interactions with your company.”
What is Transcom’s role?
9
Transcom’s principal role is to positively impact customer loyalty and, thus, revenue
through making service and support interactions as effortless and enjoyable as possible
How Transcom delivers Customer Experience

Multiple Tools
Inconsistent
Information
High Handle Time Low Productivity
• At the start of this project, we did not have a dynamic and well-designed knowledge
base system that could aid our agents in supporting and resolving our client’s
customers’ issues
• The reference information that our agents had to use was spread out across many
different documents, affecting their productivity negatively:
Client case example – innovative knowledge base for a
world-leading consumer electronics company
Process Maps and
Decision Trees
