Financial Services Leader Enjoys Strong ROI From Real-time Customer Feedback

Case Study Details how Digital Insight Raised Customer Loyalty And Increased Revenues and Growth Rate through CustomerSat Solutions

Mountain View, CA – January 27, 2004 – Digital Insight, a leading provider of online financial services, has enjoyed returns on investment (ROIs) estimated to range from 39% to 48% per year on its real-time customer feedback systems, according to a detailed case study published today by CustomerSat, Inc. The case study documents how Digital Insight has used CustomerSat solutions from 2000 to 2004 to improve customer loyalty, renewals, revenue, and profits.

“CustomerSat feedback programs, with a relatively low investment on our part, make our customer facing staff much more effective,” said Lois Koch, Vice President, Growth and Retention and Client Communication, Digital Insight. “We feel more informed about what our customers want, and the real-time feedback allows us to take faster and better action to deliver on those wants.”

Founded in 1995, Digital Insight has grown rapidly to become the leading provider of Internet-based banking services for commercial banks and credit unions. The company went public in 1999. Headquartered in Calabasas, CA, Digital Insight’s secure, hosted services include retail and commercial Internet banking, electronic bill payment and presentment, and e-commerce portal technology.

Case Study Covers Customer Loyalty Growth over Four Years

The case study starts in the summer of 2000, when Digital Insight’s rapid growth was straining its customer service and client relations infrastructure. Digital Insight Chairman & CEO John Dorman gave Koch an ambitious directive: raise the quality of customer service and client relations to a world-class level. From there, the case study details:

  • The real-time customer feedback processes – both relationship and transactional – that Digital Insight put in place to capture, analyze, and disseminate customer requirements and concerns throughout the organization
  • The wide range of actions driven by real-time customer feedback that increased loyalty and customer renewals from 2000 through 2004
  • How Digital Insight measured increases in loyalty and renewals and linked them to increases in revenue and profit
  • Rigorous calculation of ROI using Net Present Value (NPV).

“Most companies would consider a 15% to 20% ROI per year on an investment very attractive,” said John Chisholm, CEO, CustomerSat. “But Digital Insight’s experience shows how investments in customer feedback can deliver ROIs that are substantially higher.”

Digital Insight measured contributions to the ROI of its customer feedback programs only from increased customer loyalty, renewals, and revenue. These contributions alone resulted in ROI ranging from 39% to 48% per year. Not measured were contributions to ROI from other benefits of real-time feedback, such as direct cost savings in service and support and product, market, and competitive intelligence. Had these contributions been included, the ROI on Digital Insight’s customer feedback systems would have been even higher, said Chisholm.

“The ROI justified our investment in service quality and feedback," concluded Koch.
