  4. Generali Group (Volksfürsorge) • Generali Group, founded in 1831 in Trieste, is one of the most significant participants in the global insurance and financial products market. • Generali is now present in 40 Countries, with significant market shares in Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Switzerland as well as Israel. • Employees of the insurance sales force are mostly independent and part time workers who sometimes are bound to a single organization but very often represent a set of insurance companies depending on the type of service. • The sales force is crucial for company’s success but due to the independent status of the partners there are limited options for centralized IT-solutions.

  5. Can the self-service process be extended to the telephony channel? • Will this channel be accepted in a B2E environment? • Can this experience lead to an additional B2C self service channel? The starting point – from IT implementation to usage • Generali invested in an innovative CRM infrastructure already (SOA architecture / IBM). • This infrastructure was opened for browser access but most sales representatives just called the service center to get their individual customer data and sales quota information. • This process occupied agents and still led to the high costs of a media gap.

  6. Motivation and Objectives Motivation • Cost reduction and leverage of the CRM investment • Case study for multi-channel self-service Objectives • Cost reduction within 6 month after project‘s start • ROI within 15 month • Customer satisfaction (sales force) • Use of existing ITC infrastructure • Data protection / data security Fast implementation of an accepted speech portal Seamless integration in existing infrastructure Best-of-breed access control for the voice channel
