How effective is your back office?

The Professional Planning Forum has launched a Back Office Optimisation Survey in conjunction with Verint.

The aim of the survey is to understand how the back office contributes to overall customer service, which processes are currently in place for back office planning and management and what areas of improvement are being considered by companies to optimise it.

If you complete the short survey you will be able to access the results at the end of the survey which will provide an up-to-date view of the industry, unravelling the latest trends and concerns in managing and planning for the back office environment.
