The Arηs (pronounced [aris]) name comes from Greek Mythology. Arηs is the son of Zeus and the God of War – in our eyes, an accurate representation of the intelligence, strategy, leadership and vision that are essential in business.

Context:

In order to improve its service to members, our client has been undertaking a major modernization of its front-line tools for several years.

Among these, a tool (Omnichannel Tool) for handling the large volume of calls and emails received by the our client has been set up at several sites spread across the country. It is currently used by more than 800 agents logged in simultaneously every day and the number of users continues to increase.

As the implementation project was carried out with the help of an external partner taking charge of the developments, the IT team involved in this project was limited. However, given the critical nature of this tool and the number of users / members affected in the event of unavailability, it now appears that solutions for global and regional monitoring, stability control and quality (application, network and calls), backup, supervision, etc. must be set up.

Our client is therefore looking for a profile capable of understanding the context and business needs as well as the technical reality (application, network, mixed internal multi-site / cloud solution) allowing him to quickly participate in the team's D2D. and to help put in place the essential tools listed above.

Alongside this journey, a chatbot has been created and even if it meets the expectations for which it was created, an extension of its scope in the short term to allow it to provide more personalized responses to members seems be an opportunity that must be seized. The challenges being different from those for the Omnichannel Tool and mainly related to the implementation of the strategy of extension, integration rather than technical challenges.
