Bank BGZ BNP Paribas Boosts Customer Service and Interaction With Aptean Pivotal CRM

ATLANTA, 2015-05-19 11:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aptean customer Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas is a member of BNP Paribas, a leading international banking group. It is a universal bank, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, that offers savings and investment products and a wide range of loans to its individual customers, while offering businesses (micro enterprises, SMEs and corporations) solutions for financing operations in both Polish and international markets.

Bank BGŻ, which specialises in financing food and agricultural infrastructure, had a vision to grow into a leader in its market. A fundamental part of this journey was to modernise its infrastructure as it lacked a single, complete source of customer data:

“First we changed our culture and our processes and then we decided to implement a CRM solution. For us CRM is not just a product but it is a strategy,” said Dariusz Żurakowski, Director of Business Intelligence Department, Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas. “We selected Pivotal as our CRM after an extensive period of evaluation and I’m delighted to say that solution has made a big impact on our customers, staff and on the bank as an organisation.”

“Pivotal is the fundamental tool for our advisors who are interacting with customers both face to face and in our contact centres,” continued Dariusz Żurakowski. “It provides us with 360 degree visibility for each customer so that we completely understand their situation and history with Bank BGZ. This is essential for the team to be able to provide excellent customer service and customer experience. Pivotal also helps us to ensure that our campaigns are more effectively targeted as we have far better customer intelligence than before.”

Before implementing Aptean’s Pivotal CRM solution in 2011, Newsweek Polska ranked Bank BGZ as sixteenth out of twenty Polish banks for Customer Service and Customer Interaction. In 2014 Bank BGZ had moved up to the number one position in Newsweek’s rankings. Pivotal CRM is used daily by the Bank BGZ staff of nearly 5,500 employees across its headquarters, branch network and business centers.

Aptean’s Pivotal CRM solution addresses a wide range of business challenges across all areas of CRM, including sales force automation, marketing management and service management. Designed to fit organizations of all sizes, the solution is easily configurable to meet compliance and local requirements as well as vertical market-specific issues, especially in the financial services as well as discrete and process manufacturing industries.

Pivotal was recently named a Strong Performer in “The Forrester Wave™: CRM Suites For Midsize Organisations, Q1 2015," released on March 25 by Forrester Research, Inc.
