IVR is a significant component for any contact center’s communications offering a great and cost-effective customer service. And it can be a critical technology to deliver a real omnichannel experience. But, it is important to define the role and objective of an IVR system, before implementing it.
Connecting a self-service.
Phone self-services empower the customer, but companies must give the opportunity to allow an easy transition to another real-time channels. For instance, the IVR system can give the caller the chance to perform self-service actions, while having a provision to speak to a human agent depending on issues to solve or the possibility to move to another channel without the need to explain the problem again.
Simplicity and comfort first.
