关于客户
Booz Allen Hamilton is a U.S.-based management and technology consulting firm with over 100 years of experience. The company primarily serves clients in the defense and intelligence industries. With a global workforce of over 29,000 employees, approximately 75% of them work remotely, often embedded with clients. This unique work environment presents challenges in maintaining effective communication and engagement with employees who do not have regular access to company tools and resources. Booz Allen Hamilton sought a solution to bridge this communication gap and strengthen connections with their dispersed workforce.
挑战
Leadership at Booz Allen Hamilton recognized the need to improve communication and engagement with their dispersed workforce. With 75% of their 29,000 employees working remotely and often embedded with clients, these employees lacked access to company tools and resources and rarely checked their corporate email. The challenge was to find a technology solution that could connect executives and managers directly with these employees, ensuring they received relevant information and felt aligned with the corporate mission. Additionally, Booz Allen wanted to empower employees to become brand ambassadors, sharing approved company content on social media to enhance brand advocacy.
解决方案
Booz Allen Hamilton implemented the Firstup platform to address their communication challenges. Firstup is a mobile communication platform that delivers relevant information directly to employees' mobile devices, regardless of their location. The platform integrates with Workday, allowing Booz Allen to segment employees by role, team, and location, ensuring they receive personalized and targeted information. The platform also enables the communication team to deliver a weekly newsletter with the most important and interesting content. By using Firstup, Booz Allen has been able to engage a previously disconnected workforce, providing them with greater access to critical company information and tools. This has empowered employees to become knowledgeable advocates on social media, sharing approved company content and enhancing brand advocacy. The platform's metrics allow Booz Allen to measure employee engagement accurately and track the impact of their communication efforts.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009. With operations in 12 sites across two states and four cities in Brazil, the company employs more than 11,000 people. However, the company realized that to prevent barriers to future expansion, it was essential to make it as easy as possible for its people to work together effectively—even if they were based in separate geographical locations. Traditional approaches to collaboration—based on email and phone calls—threatened to reduce productivity. Flex Contact Center wanted to enable better collaboration and communication across its workforce, but did not want to make large investments in infrastructure.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
