Amica’s mission is to create peace of mind and build enduring relationships with our policyholders so providing exceptional service is our number one priority, Semafone’s solution gives us the ability to proactively deliver the best possible service to our customers, while protecting them at the same time.
Gil Bishop – Chief Information Security Officer, Amica Mutual Insurance Company
Semafone and 360 Solutions went beyond the call of duty to ensure we were able to maintain continuity of service for customers during the implementation phase. Our agents have found the system really easy to use and feedback from customers has been very positive. Not only are they happier about being able to remain in contact with agents throughout the entire call – they also truly appreciate the additional level of payment security we’ve put in place.
Adam Warne – IT Director, AO
Implementing Semafone was straightforward; staff training was minimal and the impact on customer service has been extremely positive. The fact that there was no disruption was of huge benefit to the team. Operationally the good news is that now any call, taken in any of our offices, can be put through to the call centre for a donation to be made and is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Ashley Bennett – IT Business Partner, British Heart Foundation
Partnering with Semafone has enabled us to incorporate our industry expertise, knowledge and technology to achieve a fully secure and efficient service to Harrow Council and most importantly their customers.
Andrew Davies – Business Unit Manager, Capita
“We’ve had very few complaints, and I think they are aware the new system is helping to keep their payment data safe. For us, the whole implementation was as much about looking after members’ data responsibly as it was about PCI DSS compliance.”
Jon Laws – Financial Controller, Caravan and Motorhome Club
Semafone’s proven experience in dealing with high volumes of card transactions, along with the industry knowledge of its team, meant that it really stood out from other solutions. We have been able to remove our contact centre completely from PCI DSS scope while providing our customers with absolute confidence in the security of their card transactions. Delivering a positive customer experience is at the heart of our operations and Semafone is really helping us to achieve this.
Steve Grima – Joint MD of Operations, dlc
It’s been great working with Semafone’s team, who are professional and helpful. Whenever we need assistance, it’s always provided quickly and effectively, and that’s a huge bonus when you’re working with new technology.
Jonathan Milbourn – Head of Customer Services and Business Transformation, Harrow Council
As an organization, we uphold strong standards when it comes to data security. If we are to expect our own data to be handled securely, this is a service that we must also deliver to our registrants; they too deserve their data to be protected to the highest standard.
Guy Gaskins – Executive Director of Information Technology & Resources, HCPC
One of the key benefits of using Semafone is that we can control the whole environment and it can be scaled according to our customers’ requirements. We have observed that most of the technologies used by competitors, who have PCI DSS compliance as standard, are often clunky and cumbersome. Semafone enables us to be responsive to our clients’ needs – offering flexibility as a key differentiator.
Megan Neale – General Manager, HGS UK
We exist to serve our customers, and part of our service mission is providing the best possible customer experience, no matter how they choose to interact with us as a business. The integration of Cardprotect within the Connect Managed Services solution means that NWG Business’ customers have the option to pay over the phone, with the confidence that their sensitive details are being secured to the highest standard.
-Lissa Balmer – Head of Customer Experience, NWG Business
“Achieving PCI DSS compliance is no easy task for any organisation, especially one as large and complex as npower and innogy, but it was a key operational objective and one that has paid off for them in saved payment costs. Working with partners like Semafone, we were able to create a truly innovative solution, one which helped to transform their business, reducing costs while improving the experience of their customers.”
-Richard Pennington – Managing Director, 4net Technologies
Our developers and testers were supported throughout the process by Semafone technicians and Semafone’s senior management team was always available if we needed them.
Annette Matthews – Head of IT and Programme Office, One Family
Semafone’s solution has made a huge difference to us. With many of our employees being homeworkers, we were very concerned about compliance. With Semafone’s solution, RNIB can meet the data security demands of the PCI DSS, while also providing the best possible customer service. It also reinforces to our donors that we take the security of their data seriously.
Catherine Lloyd – Senior Telemarketing Manager, RNIB
We chose to work with Semafone because we could see a young company with an experienced team and a unique new product. We liked the company’s approach and were confident that the team would be able to deliver on its promise.
Ahmer Memon – Head of Customer Business Systems Technologies, Sky
Semafone enabled us to balance the best of both worlds – we are securing our data and simplifying compliance, while improving the patient experience,” said Gee. “Our patients understand that their information is secure and enjoy the ease-of-use of Cardprotect. Our SPS team is delighted with the project results.
Alicia Gee – Director, Unified Communications at SPS
When we first saw Semafone in action it was very impressive, much better than our previous system. It just works, and is very easy for our staff and customers to use.
Mark Stubbs – IT Manager, Swift
“PCI DSS compliancy was a massive project for TalkTalk and Semafone enabled us to reduce a huge number of applications across our voice recordings and IVR payment capabilities – it simply took away the need to read out card numbers, therefore the information was no longer stored in our voice/IVR application.”
Jashan Sidhu – Head of Billings, Cash, & Banking at TalkTalk
The Semafone team is extremely professional and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. When we need assistance, it’s always provided professionally and effectively.
Ron Lenzi – Systems Engineer, TVG
