“The Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA), an ICT Regulatory body responsible for regulating the ICT Sector in Zambia."
Transforming Regulatory Excellence with Low-Code Solutions
Situation
In the fast-paced landscape of regulatory authority, the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) found itself standing at a pivotal juncture. ZICTA, entrusted with regulating Zambia's dynamic communications technology sector, recognized the need for transformation. They aimed to modernize their operations, foster collaboration across departments, and efficiently manage critical data. To embark on this ambitious journey, ZICTA turned to DeFacto, a trusted technology partner.
Challenge
In an era marked by the rapid advancement of technology and communications, regulatory bodies face unprecedented challenges. Customers and stakeholders demand streamlined access, transparent processes, and efficient issue resolution. ZICTA understood that merely meeting these expectations was not enough; they needed to set new standards of excellence in regulatory authority.
Solution
ZICTA, aware of the complexity of their mission, sought guidance from DeFacto. After a comprehensive assessment of their unique challenges, DeFacto recommended the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This was not just a conventional CRM solution; it was a sophisticated extended Relationship Management (xRM) platform that perfectly aligned with ZICTA's vision. Its internet accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, especially with xRM extensibility modifications, made it the ideal choice.
The heart of the solution lay in the creation of a dynamic customer self-service portal. This portal seamlessly integrated with ZICTA's existing environment, creating a centralized hub for data management. This transformation empowered ZICTA to rethink their interactions with stakeholders and provide a connected experience that enhanced regulatory transparency and efficiency.
