Openreach, a subsidiary of BT Group, operates the fiber broadband infrastructure of the United Kingdom. The company offers phone, broadband and ethernet services through 690+ communications providers. A team of 35,000 engineers installs, supports and maintains the fiber network connecting tens of millions of homes and businesses in the UK.
The operations landscape was characterized by service providers using disparate manual processes to undertake fieldwork. It led to high wait time for service providers, a subpar service experience, and an escalation in the total cost of operations.
Infosys developed Enterprise Intelligent Virtual Assistant (EiVA), a chatbot powered by AI to help ISPs interact with the network operator. The chatbot provides job updates / orders and performs transactional tasks such as rescheduling appointments.
The Infosys team also developed a Heads-Up Display (HUD) intuitive desktop to enhance the responsiveness of agents at customer support. Our team incorporated robotic process automation into the HUD to streamline the workflow and optimize desk agent utilization.
