About Experian

As a leading provider of geo-demographic analysis, Experian can help public sector clients understand their communities, identify local assets and needs, and improve the targeting of resources. Experian’s Mosaic Public Sector classification focuses on the needs of the citizen, providing a comprehensive view of society that enables policy decisions, communications activity and resource strategies to be applied at the most granular level of geography.

Using data from a wide range of sources, Mosaic Public Sector has been linked to specific data sources from health, education, criminal justice, and local and central government, providing an insight into every citizen in terms of their requirements of these services. As a ‘common currency’ for understanding citizens, Mosaic also supports joined-up government and partnership working.

Local Government

Local authorities need in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and needs of their residents in order to provide relevant, focused and cost-effective services. Mosaic Public Sector provides this detailed understanding, supporting decision making and policy formulation at both a strategic and an operational level.

Mosaic Public Sector supports local authorities in a number of ways:

  • Identifying the specific needs of the population so that appropriate services can be developed.
  • Facilitating effective targeting of scarce resources by locating the demand for services.
  • Providing a unique methodology of benchmarking a local authority’s performance across a wide range of indicators against relevant comparator authorities.
  • Tailoring communication methods and messages to maximise response, service take-up and awareness.

What The GovMetric Experian Partnership Delivers

– Segmentation Based Customer Experience Feedback


With our increasingly diverse society, measuring customer satisfaction without understanding people’s socio-economic background risks ignoring sections of society and increasing disadvantage.

GovMetric:Mosaic provides a unique integration between the GovMetric point-of-contact customer satisfaction system and the Experian Mosaic database allowing councils to view their satisfaction data in a new way, reporting in-depth on socio-economic grouping by channel, by service and by satisfaction level. With this information, action can be taken where services and/or channels can be shown to be difficult to access by certain social groups or where channel migration is failing to address the socio-economic divide.

How does GovMetric:Mosaic Work? 

GovMetric:Mosaic provides a unique integration between the GovMetric point-of-contact customer satisfaction system and the Experian Mosaic database allowing councils to view their satisfaction data in a new way, reporting in-depth on socio-economic grouping by channel, by service and by satisfaction level. With this information, action can be taken where services and/or channels can be shown to be difficult to access by certain social groups or where channel migration is failing to address the socio-economic divide.

GovMetric:Mosaic integrates the successful GovMetric customer satisfaction system with the widely used and extremely comprehensive Experian Mosaic database. By soliciting a post code from the customer while they are giving satisfaction feedback GovMetric:Mosaic bridges between the two systems, tagging the feedback data with the relevant socio-economic grouping.

Easy to implement

Implementing GovMetric:Mosaic is simple, requiring only the enabling of post-code capture to the normal GovMetric system, whether this is Face to Face (Kiosk only), Telephone, Web, e-mail or post. Once post-codes are being gathered the system will automatically cross match with the Mosaic database and store the socio-economic grouping alongside the other satisfaction data.

Automatic reporting

Once socio-economic data is being captured, a range of reporting options becomes available:

  • Reporting channel satisfaction by socio-economic group offers assistance with channel migration and take-up strategies.
  • Reporting service satisfaction by socio-economic group allows detemination of how service strategies are accepted by different groups.
  • Looking at channel or service volume and satisfaction trends by socio-economic group allows monitoring of improvement initiatives and goals.
