Celcom Axiata Berhad Achieves 16-Point NPS Improvement with NICE
Voice of the Customer Solution

The NICE solution allows the Malaysia-based telco to collect customer feedback in real time and
 take immediate action to improve its customer experience

Paramus, New Jersey, September 10, 2015 – NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that Celcom Axiata Berhad, a premier mobile telecommunications provider in Malaysia, has realized a significant improvement in customer satisfaction since implementing the NICE Fizzback solution in November 2014. Throughout its retail branches, NPS (net promoter score) has increased by 15 points, while its contact center operations have seen a 16-point NPS improvement.

As a result of its success with the NICE Voice of the Customer solution, Celcom has been named a winner of the 2015 NICE Innovation Award. The solution allows the company to make strategic decisions based on the analysis of large amounts of customer data.

The company can quickly reach out to customers expressing any dissatisfaction and make sure their needs are being met.

According to Celcom, as part of its clearly defined customer experience strategy, the company invested in customer satisfaction tools in order to create unforgettable experiences for its users. This contributed to the significant improvement in its customer service, as the NICE Fizzback solution allowed Celcom to immediately act on the feedback it received following all interactions.

“The NICE solution helps Celcom create perfect experiences by proactively reaching out to customers to ensure the highest level of satisfaction with its services. Our closed-loop feedback technology delivers data directly to frontline employees, which in turn means faster responses and greater retention success,” said Raghav Sahgal, President of NICE Asia Pacific. “The success of the solution is clear – Celcom has already increased its NPS scores by 15-16 points across the board within just six months of launch.”

NICE Actimize Launches “Culture of…” Anti-Money Laundering Webinar Series to
Show How the Right Organizational Culture Supports Compliance
 
A well-managed culture creates consistency throughout a financial
institution’s anti-money laundering compliance processes and procedures

NEW YORK – September 24, 2015 –NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, is launching a monthly Anti-Money Laundering Webinar Series starting this October. The first three webinars in the series will focus on vital themes within the AML marketplace: the importance of establishing the right culture to support compliance and regulatory needs; the ongoing fight against bribery and corruption; and finally, the need for consistency in managing risk policies, processes, and procedures.

The “Culture of…” Webinar Series will include industry subject matter experts, analysts, and compliance experts from the anti-money laundering and regulatory community as speakers. The series will kick off on October 21 with its first webinar titled, “Ensuring a Culture of Compliance” and will feature Andy Schmidt, a Principal Executive Advisor at CEB TowerGroup and a global expert on anti-money laundering prevention, as well as convergence, payment hubs, mobile payments, and regulatory standards. Paired with Schmidt will be Micah Willbrand, Director of AML Product Marketing, NICE Actimize, a subject matter expert with more than 15 years’ experience working with organizations to identify effective practices to mitigate money laundering and other financial crime risks.

According to Ed Sander, Global VP and General Manager, Anti-Money Laundering, NICE Actimize, “Building the right culture consists of three key stages: ensuring a culture of compliance by making it part of an institution’s everyday activities; eliminating those aspects of a culture that support corruption; and last, determining how to create a more consistent culture through automation and technology. Our webinar series is structured around these three critical phases.”

The first installments of the “Culture of….” Webinar Series will roll out monthly as follows:

 
·
Ensuring a Culture of Compliance, Oct. 21: The launch webinar will address global trends on creating and encouraging a culture of compliance – the people and processes aligned to establishing compliance as a day-to-day focus of your institution.

NICE Amps Up Voice of the Customer Solution for Deeper Visibility into
the Customer Experience

The new release of NICE Fizzback places greater control in users’ hands while delivering broader,
more dynamic analytics capabilities

Ra’anana, Israel, September 30, 2015 – NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today released the latest version of NICE Fizzback, which enables greater customization, flexibility, and ease of use to improve organizations’ responsiveness to customer feedback.

The real-time Fizzback solution helps companies drive action based on Voice of the Customer (VoC) insights, and, when combined with predictive analytics, can also shape the customer journey. This new version draws on recommendations from active Fizzback users to provide deeper visibility into the customer experience.

Key features include:
 
·
Self-service capabilities that allow Fizzback users to modify email and SMS surveys and polling schedules – enabling them to continuously test customer responses and giving them the flexibility to synchronize with changing business needs. Users can also create and adjust alerts to highlight customer feedback for specific audiences in the organization according to any set of definable criteria, enabling more employees to understand customer needs within a particular area of service.

 
·
Advanced real-time analytics to help identify hot topics among customers. Users can spot developing trends that do not necessarily correspond with preset feedback categories, enhancing a company’s responsiveness to customer pain points at their earliest stages.

 
·
The ability to slice and dice the data in a flexible manner, which can give businesses the opportunity to gather deeper insights from their VoC data. Additionally, they can tap into historical data that goes beyond what is presented on the dashboard. 

“Working with our clients through the NICE User Group, we believe the set of features developed for the latest Fizzback release will provide them with great value,” said Miki Migdal, President of the NICE Enterprise Product Group. “This includes placing greater control in the hands of the client, faster changes to the system, and a lower total cost of ownership. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to innovation in our Voice of the Customer solutions, which we see as one of the lynchpins to creating perfect customer experiences.”

NICE Introduces Fully Compliant Audio Tape Conversion and Management

Audio Examiner is the most comprehensive tape conversion solution ensuring full regulatory
compliance for the financial services industry

Ra’anana, Israel, September 30, 2015 – NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced the launch of Audio Examiner, a unique and fully compliant financial services solution for converting audio cassette tapes to digital format for on-line storage and retrieval. The solution also provides ongoing voice recording management, including fast-response reporting for compliance investigations. The solution is already deployed at several financial services organizations around the world.

NICE Audio Examiner provides a practical solution for financial industry companies with a significant library of audio tapes archived for compliance purposes. The analog technology of these recordings is no longer common and their quality is deteriorating; however, the need to access the taped calls for large-scale compliance projects is increasing. To meet regulator requests regarding these older audio recordings, bank personnel and resources must be assigned to manually sift through large amounts of unmanageable data in a very time-consuming process. Recorded calls must be screened one at a time, especially as the relevant metadata, like Trader ID, is very limited or altogether nonexistent, until the target information is obtained.

NICE Audio Examiner ensures that the process fully meets compliance requirements. The resultant digital records and online management are thus also compliant with financial industry standards.

Among other features, the tape migration service includes:
 
·
Audit trails
 
·
Retention value assignment
 
·
A global stop deletion setting
 
·
Enrichment of the metadata and user information (in the NICE Compliance Replay Server)
 
·
Comprehensive process reports
 
·
Confirmation that all calls from each tape have been converted

With Audio Examiner, the use and management of the voice recordings originating from tapes are the same as with current digital recordings, including front office, back office, and mobile voice recordings. The search for calls can then be done using the enriched metadata or via sophisticated speech analytics. The result is much faster retrieval of historical calls, satisfying the demands of any compliance investigations.

“NICE is committed to delivering innovative technology and solutions to help its customers remain ahead of the curve on regulatory compliance,” said Miki Migdal, President of the NICE Enterprise Product Group. “We believe that our new Audio Examiner solution is currently the only one on the market to offer a fully compliant process for tape conversion and storage. This fully satisfies regulators, while providing in-house voice teams the added confidence that their historical recordings meet current storage standards.”
