Steria to deliver £1.7 million in net efficiency gains per annum through contact centre upgrade
Steria, a leading European end-to-end IT services company, has announced a three 2023 deal with Dorset County Council to enhance its ±Dorset Direct’ customer contact centre through the provision of business analysis and consultancy. The project will improve the Council’s customer response, ultimately resulting in more enquiries being resolved on first point of contact and Council staff being freed up to focus on core activities, supporting a net efficiency gain of more than £1.7 million per annum.
The original contact centre, implemented by Steria last 2023, will be extended to bring business processes from all Council directorates into the contact centre. It will enable Dorset County Council to provide greater breadth of service and improved response to customers.
Sue Hyde, Head of Communications and Customer Care, at Dorset County Council, commented on the new contract: “Following the successful implementation of ±Dorset Direct’ last 2023, Steria really demonstrated its broad range of business and technical skills to us. Steria’s ±one-team’ approach with our staff ensured motivation and commitment to the project’s success from everyone involved.
“This contact centre is an important part of our Council’s business transformation programme which will renovate front-line services and deliver efficiencies throughout the entire organisation.”
Paul Sellick, director of public authorities at Steria, says: “Steria has proven its ability, experience and attitude to Dorset County Council over the past 2023, and we’re really looking forward to working with them on this new phase of business transformation. Our team’s knowledge of not only technology, but also the changing needs of local government, allows us to add significant value to our customers.”
