Claes Fornell International CFI

Business Objective: CFI provides Customer Satisfaction monitoring and improvement services to their clients. In order to present the result of their Customer Satisfaction surveys and facilitate monitoring of the recommended changes based upon those surveys CFI desired to implement QSI's Executive Dashboard as well as new functionality for Satisfaction Improvement Tracking.

Results: Successful integration of Executive Dashboard and Satisfaction Improvement Tracking into the reporting process for CFI's customer. In addition, by implementing automated configuration from CFI's existing system, Executive Dashboard was reconfigured with each data load alleviating the need for the initial system configuration as well as CFI manually re-configuring the system as changes were implemented in their reporting process saving CFI from on-going costs.

My Role: As the lead consultant and subject matter expert, I was responsible for all aspects of the implementation for Qualitech Solutions.
