Case Study

Business challenge

Our client needed to redesign its core business processes to remove customer pain points and reduce costs to increase profitability.

A leading telecommunications company, providing cable TV and broadband services, were experiencing increased competition, a growing cost base and a 40% churn rate, which was impacting profitability and long‑term viability.

They had engaged experts to identify issues but were unable to implement solutions to drive margin improvement. A major hurdle for the client was the manual (human interfacing) nature of the business processes and highly customised nature of their IT systems.
