Speridian partnered with Oracle Consulting Services for the world’s first implementation and integration of Oracle Knowledge Advanced and Oracle Policy Automation as part of a modernization initiative of Ameriprise’s existing Ameriprise Source of Knowledge (“ASK”) portal, leading to a cutting edge, interactive Knowledge experience.

Top Customer Objectives and Challenges

• The ASK Knowledge Portal, previously implemented in Oracle Service Cloud Knowledgebase, is a central part of Ameriprise’s self-service initiative, providing agents, internal advisers and registered users with Knowledge and interactive Guides for a multitude of scenarios.
• Over the years, the User Experience (UX) had become somewhat stale and cumbersome, relying heavily on the Guided Assistance tool.
• Maintenance overheads were significant for the 70+ Guided Assistance (GA) trees, while UX was operating within the constraints of the GA paradigm.
• The reporting functionality built into Oracle Service Cloud / Knowledgebase / Guided Assistance was not able to provide Ameriprise with the details on user journey and usage required to fine-tune the Knowledge Experience.

Results

• The new ASK portal is based on Knowledge Advanced and Oracle Policy Automation
• Ameriprise now has a cutting-edge, world-class Knowledge Portal with optimized UX
• Drastically reduced maintenance overheads for their interactive Knowledge Tools
• Increased Customers  Satisfaction and access to information about their Installed Products and Work Items
