Customer Service

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service enables organizations to deliver consistent, efficient, and intelligent customer engagement by unifying case management, automating workflows, and improving visibility across service operations.

For Meristem Securities Limited, a leading financial services provider in Nigeria, Reliance Infosystems implemented Dynamics 365 Customer Service to replace fragmented, manual service processes across multiple business units with a centralized, governed, and scalable case management platform.

The solution established a structured service delivery model across Experience Center, Wealth Management, Stockbroking, Trustees, and Registrars, ensuring every customer request is tracked, routed, and resolved within defined SLAs.
