This is accomplished by offering top-tier products and solutions, while utilising cutting-edge technology.

Our Customer-Centric Approach

We have built strong relationships with our customers through our customer success teams, which are designed to cater to changing customer needs across different moments of truth, right from ordering to billing.

The customer success team keeps this customer context alive throughout the customer journey and ensures that internal stakeholders are aware of the customer success metrics while working towards achieving it.

Measuring our Performance

We have several platforms through which we engage with our customers to understand their expectations and requirements. These platforms are designed to provide with solicit feedback that can be implemented. A few such platforms that we use are:

1

NPS survey – It is based on research from a third party that provides a net score on how likely consumers are to refer our services to others.

2

Near real-time feedback - Through the measurement of customer effort scores right after a transaction, we have established a process to obtain near real-time feedback.

3

Win/Loss Analysis - The results of the win/loss analysis are used to inspire the required adjustments and enhancements that will result in improved victory rates.

4

RFPs and early customer engagement - The sales, solutions, product and service wrap teams examine complex RFPs to develop and build new platform features and solutions that meet the requirements of customers and the overall market demand.

5

Engagement with industry analysts and partners - Leading industry analysts are frequently engaged by the product, corporate strategy and marketing teams to learn more about our product strategies and roadmaps and to get their opinions on market trends.

6

Forums and events - Data and communications events and forums related to technology, media, and entertainment offer both official and informal opportunities to comprehend current and emerging technological developments.

IoT-driven Smart-Light Solution

At Tata Communications, we have developed an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) smart lighting system. The solution uses IoT technology to its maximum potential for intelligent lighting networks that can adjust to changing environmental conditions and provide real-time data insights to aid cities and companies in increasing energy efficiency, lowering costs and enhancing safety and security.

Our USP

Revitalising Workplace Safety

Tata Communications’ IoT smart light solution is an end to-end management platform for citywide streetlight management and it is a perfect fit to address our customers’ needs.

A smart light controller allows for remote switching (on/ off) of lights with a dimming feature to optimise energy consumption.

An application captures the metering of each individual streetlight and monitors light health, providing fault alerts for immediate resolution in case of issues. In addition, the solution includes features such as dead lamp notification, keeping track of lamp burn hours, auto-scheduling and electricity theft.

We provided gateways and a network platform to enable the setup of LoRaWAN®.

We are able to quickly integrate with the partner ecosystem to deliver the solution.
