Customer support and BPO: records from closed and closing companies
If you control the assets of a company in the customer support and BPO sector that is in administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, its operational records may be licensable. Here is what usually exists, what needs care and how to check fit.
Some of the largest structured conversation archives any company produces, if the client contracts allow it.
What usually exists
- Large ticket and chat archives
- Quality assurance scorecards and call guides
- Escalation procedures and knowledge bases
- Client service-level reports
What needs care
- End-customer personal data must be de-identified
- Client contracts usually govern who owns the records
Employee and HR records always need the most care, whatever the industry.
Systems to look for
- Zendesk, Salesforce or Genesys
- QA scorecards
- Knowledge bases
- Workforce management tools
- Client reporting packs
Export while admin access still works.
SMEs (30 to 249 staff)
- Act within weeks. Software subscriptions lapse after closure and exports disappear with them.
- One person usually knew every system. Get their help with exports before they move on.
Enterprises (250+ staff)
- Start with a data map: systems, owners, years, volumes and where personal data sits.
- Carve out privileged, regulated and client-confidential material before any sample is prepared.
