The volume of transactions which need to be resolved on a daily basis is nearing the capacity of what can be handled within a 24 hour period; in addition, resolution time is longer due to the manual effort involved in resolving the problem. The company is committed to investing in technology which would automate (no touch) current manual processes, handle more requests in a shorter amount of time, with a reduced number of process associates.
