Industry context

Contact centre and customer experience in government and the public sector

We set up contact centres that route each call, chat or message to the right agent, with the caller's history on screen.

Most of the design work in a contact centre sits in routing rules, integrations and the measures supervisors use. We design the routing, IVR and digital channels, connect them to CRM and case systems, and set up workforce management and quality monitoring.

Government entities work to national digital government standards, with Arabic-first services and public accountability for every change. Service owners, policy and planning departments and government IT need each decision recorded in a form that internal audit and the digital government authority can review. Regional contact centres usually serve callers in Arabic and English, often on WhatsApp as well as voice, and need call recording and data handling that meet the UAE PDPL and the Saudi PDPL, with numbers and telephony from operators licensed by TDRA or CST.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What the work covers

We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.

  • Routing and channels

    Voice, chat and messaging channels, with routing rules based on need, language and skills.

  • Agent desktop and integration

    Agents see contact history and open cases in one view, without switching between systems.

  • Workforce and quality

    Forecasting, scheduling and quality reviews set up so supervisors can manage service levels.

  • Digital government frameworks

    We align delivery with the standards of the authority that oversees your entity, such as TDRA and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, or the Digital Government Authority and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia, and plan sign-in through UAE PASS or Nafath where services use them.

  • IVR and self-service

    Menus and self-service flows in Arabic and English, designed around the main contact reasons.

  • Recording and data handling

    Rules for recording, retaining and accessing calls and chats, agreed with privacy and compliance.

Signs you are ready to start

A contact centre programme is ready to start when service leads know why people contact you and which service levels matter.

  • The service owner and the contracting route for the programme have been agreed.
  • Service leads have agreed the main contact reasons and the service levels they want to measure.
  • The channels for launch, including any WhatsApp or chat service, have been chosen.
