Cambridge, England - September 29, 2004 - Audentify, a leading provider of next-generation contact center technology and a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.), today announced the launch of Audentify Intelligent IVR, an Interactive Voice Response system that allows organizations to effectively automate customer service operations in the contact center by truly considering customers' needs. Intelligent IVR forms an accurate understanding of a caller's query in real-time and automatically acts upon this information, providing an intelligent and dynamic response.
Facing constantly high call-volumes in their contact centers, more and more enterprises are seeking ways to automate their customer services in order to answer queries faster and more efficiently. However, pre-set options often do not match callers' needs and lead to frustration when the system cannot provide a sufficient response.
Unlike many other solutions, Audentify's Intelligent IVR allows organizations to form an accurate understanding of a customer's query and immediately act upon this request. The system permits callers to explain a particular problem in their own words, understands the conceptual meaning of this query and automatically returns useful results. If a relevant answer is not found within the system, Intelligent IVR instantly routes the call to a qualified agent who will be able to give additional advice. In this way, the system ensures that calls are handled as efficiently as possible, easing the burden on agents and enabling them to focus on those calls that need their immediate attention. At the same time, Intelligent IVR allows customers to benefit from a faster and more accurate service, eliminating frustration and the feeling of facing a rigid and impersonal system.
Built on a combination of Autonomy's unique ability to form a conceptual understanding of any information and patented voice phoneme level pattern matching, Audentify's Intelligent IVR system has a wide-vocabulary speech recognition capability and is completely speaker and language independent.
"Intelligent IVR is another Audentify product that will significantly help to improve customer service in the contact center, reducing call-handling times whilst allowing organizations to immediately recognize callers' needs," said Tom Blackie, Managing Director of Audentify. "Callers can become very aggravated if they are constantly put on hold or feel that their concerns are not understood by a computerized system. Intelligent IVR can really make a difference here, by intelligently responding to and routing inquiries, ensuring a higher degree of customer satisfaction. At the same time, by employing IVR in the contact center, enterprises can save up to three quarters of the cost incurred by an agent-answered call, creating instant Return on Investment."
