CRItICAl CRM ApplICAtION
A leading UK security company chose Ciber to on-board and provide support services for a major Dynamics CRM application that was critical to their own delivery of security services on behalf of the UK government. The application had originally been under development by another partner but, with that partner announcing their withdrawal from the Dynamics CRM market, and the customer approaching their go-live, Ciber stepped in to complete the project and provide a package of support services for the mission critical application.
Ciber used its proven transition process to on-board, transition and handover the highly customised system to its dedicated UK support team. The go-live process was supported by on-site “floor walking” from the Ciber services teams, assisting staff and troubleshooting any issues. The Dynamics CRM 2011 application, successfully, went live in December 2011 and Ciber is now providing a full customer help desk service including 24/7 support for Priority 1 calls for the 200 user system. Ciber is also working with the customer to provide guidance and advice upon the future development of their Microsoft system landscape.

Ciber was enlisted to implement a solution to deliver major process improvements in client appointment administration and case management for one of the foremost providers of medical reporting and screening services in the UK. The company arranges appointments for claimants to be examined by medical experts and produces hundreds of thousands of reports for their
customers who are mainly medical insurance companies and solicitors.
The solution is built upon Dynamics CRM and SharePoint and comprises significant customisation, development and integration. These include an automated client/expert appointment matching engine, extensive use of workflows to support the case management process, integration to the company’s document management system, KnowledgeLake, and to their document packaging system, Neopost, enabling the automated printing and packing of letters. Ciber provides a full range of services to support the day to day running of this complex environment including system monitoring and management services which are carried out remotely via the cloud from Ciber’s own data centre to the systems housed in the customer’s own data centre.

ChIlDREN’S ChARIty
Ciber’s first project at the NSPCC, the charity supporting children and young adults, was a major development built on Microsoft SharePoint and combined the launch of the new interactive ChildLine web site with a unique, interactive experience for children seeking advice and counselling, the provision of an integrated communication suite unifying the multiple communication channels of telephony, text, chat and email and an intranet portal to support volunteer counsellors with all case management data via a single browser interface. We followed that success with another large project, using Dynamics CRM, to build a case recording and management solution to support their Services for Families and Children, which will ultimately be used by over 700 personnel.
Ciber provides a full 24x7 support service from its UK customer services operation to ensure the availability of these mission critical business applications. The ChildLine web site has over 100,000 registered users, attracts up to 130,000 unique visitors per month and handles up to 5,000 chats per month, and the customer support service is essential to ensure its availability for all of these users. The 24x7 coverage is also important as the busiest time for ChildLine service is into the late evening between 8-11pm.

Broxap, a UK based manufacturer and supplier of street furniture, shelters, seating and cloakroom furniture, had implemented Dynamics AX ERP with another partner but was experiencing difficulties with the use of key system functionality. Ciber was invited in to audit how the system was being used and make recommendations for its improvement and optimisation. As a result, Ciber transitioned the support of the system into its Managed Services team and took over the development of the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution.
Ciber now provides Broxap with a full help desk and customer support service, together with consulting services to support continuous business improvement. This has given Broxap an effective business management platform with full ERP functionality across finance, distribution, and manufacturing, including extensive use of the Product Builder in Microsoft Dynamics AX to support variant product configurations. The platform has allowed them to grow rapidly, both organically and through acquisition, with over 100 users now supported. Ciber Managed Services is also providing support for a Sage ERP solution used in one of its acquired divisions.

This major tour operator had selected a large systems integrator to introduce a Dynamics AX financial management solution that would ultimately support its worldwide operations. However, the customer had developed some concerns about the on-going implementation, in particular, the escalating project costs for transitioning the system into a business as usual support mode and rolling it out into more countries. Ciber was invited in and undertook an audit of the solution, making key recommendations for improving and optimising the solution and for transitioning it into support. Using its proven Transition process, Ciber has taken over the support of the solution and is now providing software support for the Dynamics AX and SQL Server configurations including all custom customisations and developments, including a 24/7service for Priority 1 incidents. Ciber is also now working with the customer to re-plan the implementation and develop a template that can be rolled out into multiple countries to support multiple languages, currencies and fiscal requirements.
