Voyager and Enghouse help NCH keep Tenants in the Picture

 

About Nottingham City Homes

Nottingham City Homes is an arms’ length management organisation (ALMO) who look after around 27,000 homes on behalf of Nottingham City Council.  NCH’s vision is to create homes and places where people want to live and this year they won the title of Landlord of the Year 2018 from the UK Housing Awards which is a testament to their commitment to tenant involvement and putting customers at the heart of everything they do.

Project Overview

NCH offer a wide range of services to its local community and handles over 400,000 calls through its contact centre per year. With their current system reaching end of life it was imperative for NCH to find a new contact centre solution that would provide continuity of service but also offer flexibility as new channels of communication were added.

Catherine Elliott, Head of Customer Experience, NCH commented: “It was important for us to find a system that would allow us to grow and develop. At the moment 90% of our interactions are telephone based but we want to drive uptake of other interaction methods over time, so we needed to ensure that the chosen platform offered a future migration path.”

Choosing a new Platform

Governed by strict procurement policies, NCH went out to tender and chose a leading unified communications provider, who in turn worked with managed service and unified communications provider, Voyager Networks to deliver the Enghouse Interactive Communications Center (EICC). NCH had no pre-conceptions on social housing IT solutions so went in with an open mind.

“The process gave us the opportunity to benchmark products and suppliers against each other and it soon became clear that the combination of a leading CCS supplier as primary contractor, Voyager Networks as solution provider and the Enghouse Interactive Communications Center as the flagship contact centre solution was the right choice,” Added Elliott.

Putting the System in

One of the key priorities for NCH when it came to installing the social housing IT solution is that it had to be carried out with minimal downtime. Thanks to the expertise of the Voyager team and the intuitive nature of EICC, the system was only down for 17 minutes in total and was being actively used within a day of installation.
