| eGain Corporation | Legacy | eGain Chat | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2020 | 2021 |
In 2020, SSE Airtricity deployed eGain Chat to add a hosted conversational channel on its corporate site, using eGain Chat within the Chatbots and Conversational AI category. The deployment leveraged the cloud-hosted eGain environment and web entry points to present an on-site chat widget and centralized conversational interface for customers visiting sseairtricity.com.
The implementation focused on operational availability and templated offline handling, configuring online opening hours of 8am to 8pm on weekdays and 10am to 6pm on weekends, and embedding automated offline messages that direct customers to @sseairhelp on Twitter, @sseairtricity on Facebook, and the customerservicewebenquires@sseairtricity.com email address. eGain Chat was configured to present presence-aware messaging and scripted fallback text when agents are unavailable, aligning the chat behavior with established customer service hours.
Operational governance centered on the customer service function, with schedule and template management to control public-facing copy and availability windows. The deployment scoped to SSE Airtricity’s UK customer support workflow, enabling the contact center to manage asynchronous channel handoffs through the chat messaging template and social and email redirection.

| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle BI Publisher | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018, SSE Airtricity implemented Oracle BI Publisher as part of its Analytics and BI tooling to centralize reporting for regulatory and commercial analytics. The engagement was executed through a contract Data Analyst based in County Dublin and targeted the company analytics function within the utilities business.
Reports and templates were built using SQL to satisfy regulatory compliance requirements, and the implementation included development of logical data models and detailed functional specifications to meet user needs. Oracle BI Publisher was used to generate operational and compliance reports, and the project also produced predictive models in R to forecast meter usage and support creation of new customer offers.
The implementation integrated data from a variety of sources to feed Oracle BI Publisher, and outputs were also produced using Tableau when required by stakeholders. Operational coverage focused on analytics workflows that supported regulatory reporting, commercial offer design, and operational meter usage analysis.
Governance activities centered on solution design, documented functional specifications, and data model validation to align reporting outputs with compliance workflows and commercial decision making. The work emphasized SQL-driven data preparation, model to report traceability for the R predictive output, and specification-driven delivery of Oracle BI Publisher reports.

| Cisco Systems | Legacy | Cisco Jabber | Audio Video and Web Conferencing | Collaboration | n/a | 2016 | 2017 |
In 2016, SSE Airtricity deployed Cisco Jabber, the Cisco Jabber application, in an initiative to extend Audio Video and Web Conferencing capabilities into its contact center and customer experience operations. The deployment was positioned to provide desktop video chat and unified communication capabilities for operations and CX teams supporting retail energy customers in the United Kingdom.
Configuration emphasized standard Cisco Jabber capabilities, including presence, instant messaging, desktop video calling, softphone integration for SIP voice, and desktop collaboration for agent assisted sessions. The implementation included user provisioning and role based access for agents and supervisors, and was configured to support real time agent escalation from webchat and email channels into video assisted interactions.
Cisco Jabber was integrated into a broader contact center modernization program that included a telephony upgrade from Cisco UCCX to PCCE, webchat and email automation via eGain, an outbound dialer implementation, predictive routing for sales through service, and IVR redesign. Operational coverage targeted the contact center, customer experience, and sales through service workflows, aligning Jabber session initiation with telephony routing and digital channel escalation paths.
Governance and rollout were driven from operations and CX leadership, with administrative controls for conferencing, call recording alignment to contact center compliance, and supervised agent workflows to embed video assisted service. The Jabber deployment was one component of a program that reported documented outcomes for the organization, including NPS movement from plus 2 percent to plus 52 percent, first contact resolution increases from 70 percent to 87 percent, a 91 percent reduction in regulatory complaints, a 175 percent increase in sales through service, approximately four million euro reduction in opex across multi year initiatives, and substantial FTE reductions as reported by the project sponsors.
