From service requests to incident response, case-based processes are inherently dynamic and often ad hoc. This fundamental challenge is now compounded by the ever-increasing volume of data flowing into organizations through a growing number of channels.
By automating collaborative case-based work, you can connect the diverse information sources and stakeholders needed to improve decision-making, speed resolution and – most important – deliver seamless customer and employee experiences.
What is case management?
According to the Association for Intelligent Information Management (AIIM), a case is any project, transaction, service or response that is “opened” and “closed” over a period of time to achieve resolution of a problem, claim, request, proposal, development, or other complex activity. It is likely to involve multiple persons inside and outside of the organization, with varying relationships to each other, as well as multiple documents and messages.
A car insurance claim is a great example of a case. It’s specific to an individual and involves many types of information from many sources (accident reports, doctors’ records, body shop quotes and more). All this content must be collected, analyzed and summarized on the way to finding a resolution.
There’s no rule book with prescribed steps in case-based work because it requires:
- Ad hoc internal/external collaboration
- Real-time monitoring
- Non-linear business activities
- Enhanced flexibility
- Knowledge workers’ judgement
Dynamic case management is designed to handle these complex variables. It harnesses powerful capabilities – including digital process automation, a centralized workspace and unified collaboration – to ensure that resolution is fast, fair and effective.
Why case management matters more than ever
Case management is fundamentally about reinventing the experiences your organization delivers to customers and employees. This is critically important during this time of accelerated digital transformation and rising consumer expectations where the expectation is consistently positive experiences.
A recent survey found 80% of consumers place equal emphasis on flawless engagement with a company as they do on product quality. When customers have a request or an issue, they want quick, satisfactory resolution.
Traditional approaches to case management are largely manual and based around making pre-defined processes fit as best as possible for a case. It can cause information to be siloed, collaboration to be inconsistent, and processes to become disjointed. In the end, it results in slow resolution of issues and a poor experience for the individual.
Today, automating tedious, repetitive tasks frees up workers to focus on more complex and engaging work like responding to customer and partner requests, inquiries, and claims. By centralizing information, creating a unified view of everything needed to make informed decisions and giving workers the flexibility adjust on the fly, case resolution is accelerated, and workers’ skills and experience is optimized. In turn, this helps foster strong, long-term relationships with customers, citizens, subscribers, or any user group your organization serves.
