Currently in the SDEP there is no way to assign/unassign multiple messages to Authorised Persons in one action, this makes the allocation of messages inefficient. Each message must be individually opened before it can be assigned/unassigned. Not having clarity on the status of messages, or the ability to assign multiple messages to an Authorised Person as one action, may result in the allocation of queries being delayed, potentially impacting response times for queries and escalations. Any delays in resolving those queries could have a detrimental impact on the customer’s experience. There is also limited methods of effectively identifying and being able to filter messages requiring action on the home screen. This effects the Authorised Person’s ability to promptly allocate and resolve messages within the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Where an MAU is not available, and MAU responsibilities within EES have not been transferred, the functions and information only available to this role cannot be accessed by the organisation. This has the potential to impact an organisations operational effectiveness.
