Summerland Credit Union: A communications solution to bank on


Overview

The Summerland Credit Union ranks in the top 30 credit unions in Australia with $500 million in assets and 27,000 local members. It was constrained in its service capacity by an ageing telephony system with very limited functionality.

To maintain its position at the forefront of NSW financial service provision, Summerland wanted to overhaul its complete call centre and internal communications infrastructure.

Luke Haber, IT Manager at Summerland Credit Union said “The NEC call centre software maintains accurate service levels with excellent reporting. We have measurable improvements in productivity and accountability for our call centre staff.”
