Your challenges
Organisations have little option but to run the gauntlet of change that regulation, pressure to optimise cost and new market entrants are creating. Customer expectations, on top of that, are also changing, with an increasing demand for digital-enabled experiences. This fact is adding even more pressure for businesses to transform. The rapid shift to cloud, and the emergence of Fintech ecosystems, have lowered the barriers that prevented this change. The Salesforce platform in particular is accelerating the pace of innovation with integrated omni-channel, machine learning and analytics capabilities. The opportunities these technologies present to organisations to transform their distribution, marketing and service functions across every customer touchpoint, are significant, but require a customer-led, agile approach to design, implementation and change delivery.
For years, many customers have viewed their financial lives from afar. Digital technology has accentuated this with visions of call centers and automated processing. It's a problem, particularly for an industry that sells trust and relationships as core values.
- What if digital actually enabled a more human approach?
- What if it helped us make better decisions, big and small, and
- What if this happened in real time, and not just periodically when we sit down with an advisor?
From a customer's perspective, buying a home involves much more than taking out a mortgage and this logic extends to many life decisions. Whether we’re going to school, starting a family, selecting a vacation spot or just deciding whether to purchase a new phone, we want information on our terms, without boundaries. But to whom do we turn for help? At the same time, digital technology can strengthen relationships and let businesses see what their customers value most. And, by working with others, firms can use this information to make things easier for customers, no matter what they’re buying, from research to payment and beyond.
Key challenges for financial sector clients in Luxembourg centre around modernising technology stacks to take advantage of growth opportunities, and understanding and developing customer relationships - especially in light of COVID-19 severely curtailing opportunities for direct contact. Strengthening the effectiveness of digital channels has therefore gained a huge importance, and it will likely be a strong differentiating factor between those who perform more successfully -or less- in the upcoming years.
Our solutions
Interacting with clients, employees and partners has never been easier thanks to the omnipresence of digital technologies. But in today's fast-paced digital world, investing in technology isn't enough. Putting people at the centre of digital transformation initiatives is critical so that companies can create excitement for new ways of working and ultimately meet their unique customer needs, business processes and governance mandates to foster a competitive advantage.

Discover how PwC Luxembourg is helping its clients on Customer Transformation
Customer experience - the biggest banking innovation category in Luxembourg (source: Banking in Luxembourg: Trends & Figures 2020) - is the primary differentiator in the industry. Adding or improving mobile apps, chatbots and the overall omnichannel customer experience are the top priorities of banks in Luxembourg. In line with the latter, there is a particular focus on customer experience through employee experience and broader digital transformation. Furthermore, there are several use cases that show how traditional front office tools boost an organisations' data (management/usage/analysis).
The problem
As a member firm of a global network, PwC Luxembourg aligned with PwC's global strategy and started enacting a cultural change. Information related to interactions with clients, new opportunities and pipeline overview were not always stored in the right place or shared with the right people. It was necessary–given our global network– to have a tool not only for Luxembourg, but for the whole PwC network, to collaborate on business development and improve our understanding of, and focus on, our clients.
How we framed the problem
Our first step was to study the strengths and weaknesses of our previous CRM and its interactions with other systems involved in the engagement process (e.g. compliance, AML, invoicing). It was also important to understand how relationships with our customers were being built and maintained, and how important information was shared among teams. Once this had been assessed, we conducted a thorough Gap Analysis to identify the key points of difference between our previous CRM and Salesforce, which formed the basis for our change management effort. Salesforce necessitated a significant cultural shift toward transparency and data-driven decision making, and it was crucial for us to be mindful of this throughout the process given the complexity and breadth of sales activities in a services firm like ours. We developed the firm’s largest internal change management campaign yet, an end-to-end effort addressing training, communication, user engagement and adoption across all parts of our firm. Promoting this cultural change, and emphasising its benefits, were key to our users not only adopting the tool, but being able to really exploit the power of Salesforce to change the way we work beyond just deploying a new tool.
How we deployed our assets
Thanks to the experience gained deploying Salesforce in other territories of the PwC network, we had the chance to benefit from the guidance and support of people who had already been on the journey. We leveraged the knowledge of territories that had already been live on Salesforce for several years, gaining insight on best practices, as well as potential implementation issues and how to overcome them. PwC experts trained our local teams to assure the best quality of support to all new Luxembourg users.
How we worked with the client
Months before go-live, a first group of users was trained on Salesforce and briefed on our adoption strategy, the training aspects of which followed the "Train the Trainer" approach. The Salesforce project team created a library of support material (e.g. dedicated website, e-learning programme, virtual ‘Survival Kit’) to help users understand all Salesforce processes and interactions with existing PwC systems. We also tailored our training by audience, with a white-glove one-on-one coaching programme for senior management and specific sessions for certain teams (e.g. marketing, event organisation) in recognition of the different functionalities they were likely to need. A Salesforce support team remains available to address any issues and answer any questions our users.
The result we delivered
Thanks to the implementation of Salesforce, users at PwC Luxembourg now have a clear, real-time overview of their pipeline, they communicate easily with their teams and they do not need to worry about missing any information since everything is stored in one place. They are able to keep track of what is happening across the different areas of their clients’ businesses, as well as at other PwC territories, and - most importantly - we are now more customer-centric than ever before.
The problem
Our client, a large bank operating in the retail, corporate, institutional and private banking spaces, approached us for help to improve their capabilities with regard to CRM. Whilst they had an existing CRM tool developed in-house, it was reaching the limits of its functionality and, being used by a single business unit, it did not provide a holistic view across the entire business. The client also wanted to make use of a modern functionality to increase productivity and efficiency and limit redundancies.
How we framed the problem
PwC analysed the client's existing CRM tool and the ways it was used within the business, mapping the processes for each line of business and looking for opportunities to make improvements. We then identified all the client/employee touch points as part of the customer journey in order to understand all of the ways the bank's employees interact with clients. This enabled the creation of a capability map to pinpoint both the pain points associated with the current process and CRM, and the capabilities we would need from a new tool to address them.
How we deployed our assets
Whilst we have a strong financial services consulting practice here in Luxembourg, there were specific points for which we called on experts from across our network in order to benefit from insights gained on similar banking assignments. We were also able to leverage knowledge and information gained from other ongoing assignments with the client to ensure we had the full picture, which enabled us to move faster toward a solution.
How we worked with the client
We worked collaboratively in a cross-functional team with employees from both PwC and the client. In addition to mapping the current state and customer journeys, we also held demonstrations of two best-in-class CRM solutions in order for the client’s employees, who would be affected by any change to the existing setup, to see what the future could look like. This provided us and the client with good insights regarding the vendor selection process as well as allowing us to set a baseline early on against which all future change management, adoption and enablement efforts could be measured.
The result we delivered
The project is ongoing with the client in the process of making a decision on whether to proceed with a new greenfield implementation and, if so, of which solution or whether to invest further in their existing tool. Regardless of the choice they take, it is clear that the work which has been done so far helping them to understand what their current capabilities are vis-a-vis the capabilities they will need in the future has been invaluable.
The problem
Our client, an entity of a large worldwide insurance group, was the first company in the wider group to implement Salesforce, with the objective of increasing productivity and providing a stronger, omnichannel offering to customers.
How we framed the problem
We worked with the client's team to frame the problem, identifying their sales and marketing departments as the ones in need of increased productivity and efficiency. The first step was for us to develop a deep understanding of their business in order to better understand how to approach the task.For that, we engaged with employees from the sales and marketing departments, and decided, as a result, that the client required a new sales structure, a new operating model, and a marketing channel strategy.
How we deployed our assets
Our continuous analysis of the clients’ situation led us to deploy our assets effectively.
For the Sales team, we framed the data privacy and data protection designs, prepared regulatory filings and managed the approval dialogue with local authorities. Also, we supported the entire business analysis, solution design, and testing process, which in particular helped with user experience optimisation and design of innovative functionalities.
Regarding the marketing department, we assessed the existing process documentation and conducted interviews with the team, which helped us map the current pain points over a 4 day workshop. We aligned the expectations of the marketing team in order to allow the recommendation of steps through which they could improve their omnichannel marketing abilities.
How we worked with the client
We had a close relationship with the client, which we developed over time through the process of identifying the issues they faced, using a series of interviews with the Sales and Marketing departments to better understand the situations and pain points, and finally, with the organisation of the 4 Day Workshop. Furthermore, we had regular touchpoints with the client, and kept a clear communication with the regulatory authorities to properly design all data privacy issues and data protection.
The result we delivered
Over about four months’ time, we implemented the desired CRM and selected functionalities tailored to the needs of the client. The result enabled the sales department to create highly intuitive and self-explanatory solutions . In addition, we developed the prototype of a platform that could be leveraged for other client touchpoints (i.e. service, claims handling), and provided a baseline for the addition of further functionalities in the future.
The problem
Our client, a prominent NGO in Luxembourg, was already using Salesforce but required support to migrate to the Lightning interface, improve processes and streamline their platform. Their pain points related to specific functionalities they required, as well as to user training, and they were keen to realise the full potential of their investment in Salesforce.
How we framed the problem
PwC assessed the current Salesforce implementation versus the best practice and versus the original requirements. To understand which functionality is required, it is necessary to study the involved processes and the pain points of FDL.
How we deployed our assets
Following an analysis of the current state, PwC proposed solutions largely built on out-of-the box functionality to minimise complexity and cost, and executed the transition to Lightning Experience (Salesforce’s latest user interface).
How we worked with the client
We deployed a small, focused team for this assignment which worked closely with the three key stakeholders on the client side. A strong working relationship and modern, digital toolset meant that even with the changing COVID-19 related restrictions throughout the project, we were able to collaborate closely throughout the project.
The result we delivered
With the support of PwC, our client was able to enhance communication both with its customers and internally, with information centralised and user-autonomy much improved thanks to expert training provided. Lastly, through the minimisation of custom development and maintenance, the client was able to realise a cost reduction.
