Tech Solution: Speech Analytics Software

Companies try to serve their customers by providing what they believe is stellar service. Many have dedicated contact center staff, and are committed to doing right by the people who are buying products or services. But what good is having a contact center to field all these calls if there's no way to handle the responses and figure out how to serve customers even better? By implementing speech analytics solutions, companies can organize customer feedback and apply it to their service excellence arsenal. VoiceObjects 7 Delivery Model: Installed software Price: Begins at $400 per port Business Benefits: The overall solution includes highly scalable, carrier-grade deployment and management of personalized, over-the-phone voice, video, text, and Web self-service applications with cluster management and multitenancy for large enterprises and carriers. The solution enables real-time tracking of caller behavior for quicker improvements, including 50 out-of-the-box reports. Functionality: A personalization engine uses layers to present dynamically generated information or prompts each caller based on caller input and/or customer preferences and interaction history stored in a CRM database. Core application logic is separated from the way the application is presented to the caller, reducing the complexity of designing dynamic personalized dialogues and ensuring application consistency and quality.
