Description

We have kickstarted a large programme to understand the existing challenges and opportunities. The key findings of the current state assessment are:

 Contract Management & Optimisation: Multiple contracts providing similar services creates several challenges including, increased costs and overheads.

 Duplication of Services: Overlapping services (especially telephone payments and direct debits) lead to administrative complexity and unnecessary costs (economies of scale).

 Inconsistent Customer Experience: Customers from different parts of the merged organisation face varied payment options, leading to confusion and potential dis-satisfaction.

 Gap in Services: With closure of banks and post offices, local convenient options for customers to pay (pay point), alternatives to minimise handling of cash (card machines) etc.

 Technical Inefficiency: Managing multiple systems creates increased complexity for our technical teams within Technology & Finance.

As a result, the group have set out key justifications which revolve around implementing a single enterprise-wide solution for Payments and Collections

 Offers the opportunity to reduce the technical complexity and contractual challenges resulting from several solutions across Payments & Collections.

 Improves Customer Experience by centralising Collections through a single solution providing all Customers a single view.

 Potential to improve collection routes available to customers in a changing banking environment.

 Improves group's ability to report and track insights enabling wider recovery strategy improvements.

 Simplifies internal Business Processes and business adoption activities because of a single-solution focus.
