ENARADA, Bangalore, September 6, 2013:
Wipro Ltd., and KANA Software, Inc., have entered into a strategic partnership to form a joint development center to accelerate implementations of the KANA Enterprise customer service suite with an initial focus on the insurance industry.
As a preferred strategy partner, Wipro has certified global system integration personnel on KANA technology, enabling Insurers that select KANA solutions to achieve faster implementation schedules and advance their omni-channel customer experience initiatives.
The partnership provides KANA with virtually unlimited systems integration scalability, anchored by Wipro’s presence across 57 countries.
Wipro and KANA have trained a team of process, technical and business analysts for immediate availability, achieving initial successes with insurance and financial services projects.
The dedicated Wipro/KANA team, in addition to deployment acceleration, benefits clients with more robust implementations pairing the KANA customer service focus with Wipro’s deep integration expertise and support for multiple business models including business process outsourcing (BPO) and managed services.
“The rapid advent of the Web, mobile and social channels have created a connected world leading to a paradigm shift in customer expectations in the industry. Our estimates show that around 60 percent of insurance customers are ready to switch due to poor customer service at any point in time. Through our strategic partnership with KANA, we will provide insurers with a comprehensive and efficient means of deploying world-class customer service capabilities,” says, Nagendra Bandaru, Vice President and Global Business Head for Insurance, Wipro.
“Wipro’s global presence and deep domain expertise will help address the high demand that we are receiving from multinational brands for end-to-end customer service solutions,” says Mark Duffell, CEO for KANA Software.
