Speech Analytics
Saga Insurance Ltd - March 2024

Integration with existing telephony and CRM systems.
Migration of historical recordings and metadata where required.
Configuration of keyword spotting, sentiment analysis, and reporting dashboards.
Training for analysts, compliance teams, and operational managers.
Challenges
Migrating from a legacy platform with limited documentation.
- Resolved by engaging vendor support early, conducting detailed discovery sessions, and running phased testing to validate accuracy.
Ensuring seamless integration with telephony and CRM systems.

Driving adoption among managers and analysts used to the old system.
- Overcame with tailored training, hands-on workshops, and “champion users” embedded within teams to provide peer support.
Maintaining compliance monitoring throughout the transition.
- Managed by running both systems in parallel during the transition period to ensure no monitoring gaps.
