TP Westar Energy
  • Dissatisfied New/Existing External Customers
  • Backlog of new installations
  • Lack of appropriate technology????? (What
    technology?)
  • Difficult to use IVR????? (What is this for?)
  • Lack of consistency in installation charges due
    to installation distance from the customers
    facility (business or home)
  • Lack of consistency in customer contributions
  • The Company tries to decide for the customer what

  • Lack of consistent billing regulations
  • Delayed installation (or monthly) billing to the
    customers
  • Inaccurate installation (or monthly) charges to
    the customers
  • Slow response to service calls
