National Banking Company Streamlines Contact Center for Improved Customer Experience

A national banking company needed to address challenges in its customer support center, including employee inefficiency and customer dissatisfaction caused by scattered information and delayed responses. To solve this, the company implemented a custom solution integrating a non-Microsoft contact center with Microsoft technologies, notably Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, and Power Platform. The solution features an employee agent built in Copilot Studio to allow employees faster access to unified information when assisting customers, seamlessly connecting various internal data sources. Operational data is stored in a central non-Microsoft database, while knowledge sources, conversation transcripts, and analytics are managed with Microsoft Dataverse, Azure Data Lake, and Power BI. Security, identity management, and governance were ensured via Microsoft Entra ID and Power Platform administration tools. The result is the ability to support over 3.5 million customer conversations annually, dramatically improving both response times and employee productivity. Advanced governance, data compliance, fine-grained access, and proactive diagnostics are all integrated into the platform. The architectural approach follows Microsoft Power Platform Well-Architected principles, emphasizing high data quality and responsible AI. The success is inspired by the ABN AMRO Bank's similar Copilot Studio deployment, but adapted for this banking company. The implementation focuses on delivering actionable insights through Power BI dashboards and efficient knowledge retrieval, while tracking continuous improvements via user feedback and analytics.
