etalk Showcases Conceptual Speech Analytics to Answer Exploding Demand in Contact Centers
Company Demonstrates First "Customer Understanding" Speech Analytics Technology in Nationwide Series
IRVING, TEXAS, March 21, 2006 - The expanding adoption of speech analytics technology in contact centers bears out a prediction by industry analyst Donna Fluss that speech analysis would experience 100 percent market penetration growth in 2006.
To answer this ever-increasing need for speech analytics, etalk, a leading provider of contact center software and services, has introduced a revolutionary new speech analytics technology, Qfiniti Explore. Originally developed for the intelligence community, Qfiniti Explore is now available in the call center environment to address business' need to gain greater customer intelligence.
"Speech analytics is very compelling for enterprises because it reduces operating expenses, improves quality, enhances the customer experience, increases revenue and reduces corporate liability," said Fluss, a Principal at DMG Consulting, a leading provider of customer-focused strategy, operations and technology services for contact centers and marketing organizations. "2006 is expected to be the first year of large-scale adoption of speech analytics solutions in contact centers, with a projected growth rate of 120 percent."
etalk's Qfiniti Explore has the ability to understand the actual conceptual meaning of a customer interaction rather than be bound by the limitation of word spotting or pure phonetic solutions. It provides rich and accurate analytics capabilities, enabling companies to understand the actual content communicated between the customer and the customer service representative. Companies that have access to this customer understanding can search for critical information to drive sales, react to problems and shape product development and marketing strategies.
"With all the call recording, monitoring and evaluation capabilities that call centers have had for years, they have never, until now, had the ability to actually understand what goes on in a conversation between the customer and the agent," said Scott Shute, CEO of etalk. "The Qfiniti technology can tell companies a host of things about what they're doing wrong, what they're doing right, and what they could be doing better. It's giving customers a voice they have never had before. This information is invaluable in developing business strategy."
Qfiniti Explore offers numerous benefits to call centers, including:
Conceptual understanding of customer-agent dialogues
Automated trend spotting
Real-time notifications of "hot" customer topics
Ad hoc and customized agent searching
Agent script adherence
On-the-fly searching, to hasten investigations
Language models to reduce false positives
etalk introduced Qfiniti Explore, part of the Qfiniti Enterprise suite of products, after embedding it with an exclusive technology offered through etalk's parent company, Autonomy, called the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). Powered by the IDOL engine, Qfiniti Explore is the most robust speech analytics application available for call centers today.
Series "Explores" Powerful Technology
etalk is providing details of Qfiniti Explore benefits, and discussing ways to leverage this powerful new technology within the call center - and across the entire organization - in a nationwide tour. "The Explore Seminar Series," kicked off March 16 in Seattle and continues March 23 in Phoenix. The series runs through June 2006. Call center leaders can register for the Explore Series here at http://www.etalk.com/ExploreSeminar/Explore.html.
