6 © Nokia 2004 “Fast Track” Trial Objective Give key skilled reseller named contacts direct access to 2 nd or 3 rd level TAC engineers for initial case troubleshooting Improve reseller experience and satisfaction through more efficient case handling & “first contact resolution rate” Scope & Timing Trial for select resellers with named contacts Only WEB cases fast track routing Phone call fast track on roadmap (to be confirmed) 2 resellers in the US identified for first round capture learning's and decide improvements
7 © Nokia 2004 Profiling Pilot A Technical Competencies Knowledgeable and proficient Easy to work with; they are team players Program Commitment Fast Track cases were logged on the support site by key contacts Problem descriptions, output data (CPInfo, IPSOINFO, etc) and information are accessible. Staff are co-operative and provide the necessary information to progress case in a reasonable amount of time. Lack of case survey submissions. We have only received a 27.5% response rate on all Fast Track cases logged. Program commitment requires all cases have a case survey submission.
8 © Nokia 2004 Profiling Pilot B Technical Competencies Very knowledgeable and very proficient in core products Only open cases when absolutely necessary. Usually bugs Weakness in mobility area Program Commitment Fast Track cases were logged on the support site by key contacts Problem descriptions, output data (CPInfo, IPSOINFO, etc) and information are accessible. Staff are co-operative and provide us the necessary information to progress case in a reasonable amount of time. We have received a 0% response rate on all Fast Track cases logged on this pilot. Program commitment requires all cases have a case survey submission. Feedback from Key Customer Manager Contact, reported very positive feedback from his staff. He talked to his key engineers and he had received positive feedback of the Fast Track program. In particular they were impressed with the time to resolve and knowledge of our staff. We received comments of "Great Service“ and they would like to see this program go forward with this type of service in the long term.
9 © Nokia 2004 Pilot A Closed cases – 4 3 cases escalated to PLS Survey results (average) – N/A Pilot B Closed cases – 36 1 Case has been escalated to PLS Survey results - Satisfaction with case handling 100% (8 surveys completed of 36) Comments NSAS cases posed an issue. Shortage of training/handling made it difficult for assigned engineers to diagnose and provide solutions for this product. Still improving in the area of gathering information prior to case submission Bi-Weekly meetings were a challenge due to schedule conflicts, in the beginning of the program. Profiling Pilots
10 © Nokia 2004 Fast Track Pilots – High Level Summary Overall very positive customer satisfaction 100% for Profiling Customer A (8 case surveys) Profiling Pilot B “moved” from highly dissatisfied to satisfied Creates same level of improvement as TAM Fast track “relevance” Good match of competence levels – reseller / level 2 and 3 36 cases from Pilot A did require level 2 to resolve Pilot B cases went PLS level to resolve Routing to PLS can be enhanced by TAC main contacts Dedicated “named” contact engineer was assigned Key value add and big driver for customer sat improvement! To manage pilot as well as follow up on cases Became an effort similar to TAM May not require additional resources but org changes Requires improvements on CRM tool to manage “Issue” on event driven customer sat survey’s Not full co-operation from pilots Need to review survey process for “large” customers
11 © Nokia 2004 Fast Track Trial Results Improved Customer Satisfaction And Relations Both participating resellers were dissatisfied with the level of service they were receiving as little as 12 months ago. Relations are now good to excellent. Staying The Course With the exception of survey creation, both trial accounts adhered to instructions and policies relating to the Fast Track Program. Examples: Web case submission Schedule program operation (Core hours) Bi-weekly con-calls Understanding Reseller Dedicated resources and case tracking helps TAC identify strengths, weaknesses and overall requirements. i.e. NSAS This information can be fed into Sales/SBM/Marketing in order to recommend improvements at a reseller level

15 © Nokia 2004 Remaining Concerns? One key objection that we must overcome from our partners is the “What’s in it for me?” question Will our current Infrastructure support the program? How do we sell this as different from today? How do we exclude/denominate non performers
16 © Nokia 2004 Reseller Program & Mobility Certification What are the benefits: Nokia controlled & scalable service delivery through channel Control & knowledge of channel quality of services & support Channel differentiation limiting competition on product price Increased channel service revenues through every step in program Making it “public” is key: Clear & open communication (on the web) of program structure, benefits & requirements Open announcement of resellers status & status changes on WEB A Couple Key Challenges: Buy in from sales and full support to enforcement of program Co-ordination with product driven channel accreditation
