CASE STUDY

SELECTING THE RIGHT VENDOR IS ANOTHER DECISION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN WITH METICULOUS CONSIDERATION .

How has the GPSSA succeeded in developing an accurate customer database and what advantages has this created ?
To ensure data credibility , GPSSA implemented the golden record project , whereby all the data in every system of record ( SOR ) was accurately recorded , thereby ensuring the customer database was continuously updated from the moment he / she was born up until their demise , recording every single event , milestone , phase and growth in their lifespan ( i . e . birth , graduation , employment , marriage , children , divorce , employment , change in employment and retirement ).
Can you describe the benefits of being able to detect patterns in customer data ?
Being aware of key moments in a customer ’ s lifespan plays a huge role in studying human behaviour , thus understanding the different lifestyles and spending as well as saving patterns , to help cater to requirements , needs and trends . By understanding our stakeholders ’ preferences , we can identify the exact types of services needed and knowledge required . p
