2. In the words of Johan Andersson, CEO of Coresec, “Our ambition is to build Coresec
into a clear market leader in Europe, to massively increase the size of the company
and to be present in key European countries in the coming years. We firmly believe
that further specialization, international scope, and taking an active part in the
ongoing consolidation of the sector in Europe will be good for our customers, our
partners and our employees.”
Maintaining a strong foothold
Due to its ambitious expansion, Coresec found itself burdened with a number of
legacy and self-developed IT systems. Also, expansion in size, location and services
had created disparity between existing systems and processes. While Coresec’s
sales process was set up on Salesforce, its service process worked through a legacy
system. The lack of synchronisation between the sales and service processes added
another layer of challenge for Coresec because a significant amount of its data was
spread across multiple systems and worksheets.
Understanding the risks associated with outdated systems, Coresec recognized that
to continue improving its processes and to remain a leader in the industry, it had to
replace its legacy and homegrown solutions and consolidate any remaining platforms
and data.
Coresec sought a provider who could migrate all its inventory information and
contracts to a Salesforce-based solution and help improve its customer service
process. It expected the provider to dispense world-class insight on Coresec’s
processes and customer data. Finding a partner who could advise and help
provide holistic execution for all customer service and sales processes was the
deciding factor.
Coresec’s transformation journey
Coresec saw Capgemini as a partner who was able to listen and gauge what was
critical to its business. Furthermore, Capgemini had the knowledge and experience
to help Coresec on this transformation journey around CRM and Customer Service.
Coresec approved of Salesforce’s best of breed technology and proven ability
to work in collaboration with Capgemini’s domain knowledge, SFDC skills, and
structured approach to transformation project delivery.
The Capgemini team implemented Service Cloud as the turnkey replacement
solution for Coresec’s Service Desk and related processes. The set-up of the project
and the mode of engagement with Coresec were highly agile and flexible.

looking into using it to boost Service and Collaboration with its Clients.
