No More 'So What?' Metrics

No more 'so what metrics’ but a whole new spectrum of awareness and insight into improving customer experiences.
- Kris Scruby

Traditional IT metrics didn't meet Orbis's ambition level and goals for customer experience development in their strategy.

"We could say that 97% have rated us between 7/10 - 10/10. But what can we do with that information? How can we get better?"

Orbis decided to go after a broader understanding of what factors influence the IT service experience the most. HappySignals became a central part of its continual improvement process.

Challenges overcome with HappySignals

HappySignals is the first source of insights when deciding on improvement initiatives

The challenges that were identified before using HappySignals and overcome with the help of the platform were:

  • Orbis felt that its old IT metrics did not accurately show what it could improve to increase end-user/customer satisfaction. This was possible with HappySignals.
  • Before HappySignals, it was harder to identify the improvement initiatives that would have a clear positive impact on the end users. 
  • Without easily understood experience data it was much more challenging to share with the business stakeholders of how good IT was at providing services to end users.
