    Challenges

     

     

    Previously, Euro-Information had a Video Appointment system that was based on the video conferencing solution that the group was already using and which is hosted in the company's data centers. With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, use of Video Appointments grew rapidly and Euro-Information wanted to make it easier and simpler for clients to connect with their staff.

    With the solution that was previously in place, the user had to download software, which led to confusion and difficulty accessing the service. In the context of the pandemic, the Video Appointment has become a critical new channel. It is a question of making the solution more reliable and simplifying it for clients.

    By anticipating future uses, Euro-Information developed a set of specifications for an updated video-conferencing solution:

    • A service that could be installed and hosted in Euro-Information data centers
    • A service that was interoperable with the company's systems (Skype for Business, video conferencing rooms,)
    • A service guaranteeing secure exchanges and confidentiality in communication
    • A solution available in WebRTC (without the need to download software) and compatible with devices on the market: smartphone, tablet and browsers
    • A solution that can be configured and customized in the colors of the group's different brands

     

     

     

    Why Pexip?

     

     

    Pexip was presented to Euro-Information in March 2021 by its technology partner Orange, and the goals of the new solution were established.

    The Euro-Information teams were convinced by Pexip's ability to offer the solution by WebRTC (meaning, there would be no need for clients to download anything), the number of banks that are currently using Pexip, and the recommendation from Orange, a trusted Euro-Information partner.

    The Pexip team began working on a POC (Proof of Concept) in mid-March 2021, which enabled Euro-Information personnel who were selected for the testing process to begin taking charge of the solution over a period of two months.

    À partir de mi-mars 2021, l’équipe de Pexip réalise un POC (Proof of concept) pour permettre aux collaborateurs Euro-Information, sélectionnés pour le test, de prendre en main, sur une période de 2 mois, la solution.

    "The objective was to replace the existing video conferencing service by making it easy to use and learn for our clients, while respecting our IT philosophy, namely: a highly secure solution, hosted in our data centers and that can be customized in the colors of our banking group."

    Convinced by the success of the POC and after a pilot phase, Euro-Information started to deploy the Pexip solution at the end of June 2021. User buy-in was almost immediate.

    “The new process for video appointments is a real time saver for account managers and our corporate clients," says Julien M, digital officer for the Caisse de Crédit Mutuel Mulhouse Fonderie Rebberg. 

    "We only had positive feedback on its usability, especially the seamlessness and speed of the experience. The video appointment is a new communication channel that enables us to maintain a remote relationship with our clients in view of the current context. Video Appointments enable clients to discuss with their advisors from the comfort of their own home. We strongly recommend the use of this solution,” he says. 

    From the first quarter of 2022, the solution is being used across all customers and members of entities that belong to the Euro-Information information system.

    The solution is hosted in Euro-Information data centers in France, in accordance with the company's security requirements.
