Traditionally, customers will contact NGN over the telephone or by digital channels (email, message, social), conveying the issue they face verbally or in writing. In the process of conveying this information it is common for misunderstandings to arise between parties, it is only when an employee visits site in person are these misunderstandings ironed out. \nThe project will test how NGN can integrate visual capture of a customer's issue into existing reporting processes, either via an asynchronous (web self-serve) or synchronous (switch to a live call from telephone contact) to see the issue faced and triage it then more accurately. As required, the customer recording can be passed to others in NGN to assess and decide on the best course of action. By removing the need in many cases to attend site to assess the issue first, NGN should be able to improve its D+1 complaint resolution time, by immediately actioning the remedy to the issue from the site visuals received.\nScope to include - \nOne time setup services for the Platform broadly includes:\na.\tBusiness process mapping of future Video integrated scenarios\nb.\tStoryboard templates configuration and build \nc.\tMobile app development and deployment for iOS and Android users (note NGN employees download the app as required in a self-serve manner from the Google Playstore or Apple App Store)\nd.\tConfigured taxonomy and keywords for the relevant use cases\ne.\tUser onboarding and enablement excluding for community users (end customers)\nf.\tUser training in a Train the Trainer model excluding for community users (as applicable)\ng.\tTemplate label design aligned to NGN processes\nh.\tDashboard configuration to align data points and reporting lines/groups\ni.\tPost code mapping and routing tables for relevant geographical teams",
