IVR Solutions Company
This section of our technical library presents information and documentation relating to IVR Development and custom IVR software and products.
Business phone systems and toll free answering systems (generally 800 numbers and their equivalent) are very popular for service and sales organizations, allowing customers and prospects to call your organization anywhere in the country.
The PACER and WIZARD IVR System is just one of many DSC call center phone system features..
What Is IVR?. An Interactive Voice Response (IVR) processes inbound phone calls, plays recorded messages including information extracted from databases and the internet, and potentially routes calls to either inhouse service agents or transfers the caller to an outside extension.

Why Customers Hate Your IVR System

Speaker verification
Speaker verification, one of the most advanced of all IVR system features, simplifies
one of the most cumbersome processes callers have to cope with—identifying
themselves to the IVR system.
Older IVR applications identify callers through automatic number identification
(ANI), which recognizes the originating telephone number, or by prompting the
caller to enter an ID such as a PIN, an account number, or a credit card number.
All of these have the potential to frustrate. ANI only works if the customer is calling
from a number that is recorded in the company’s customer database. The customer
may not have his account number handy when he makes the call. And we all have
so many PINs to remember—PINs that we’re asked to change periodically—that
asking for a PIN is almost a sure way to put the caller in a bad mood.
Add to the frustration the fact that all these methods of identification are inherently
less than secure. Anyone can call from your telephone, and whoever has your credit
card has your credit card number as well. Even PINs can fall into the wrong hands.
Speaker verification eliminates all these frustrations by using the caller’s voiceprint,
which is as unique as a fingerprint. The application prompts the caller to speak a
standard or a random phrase and compares the response to voiceprints on file. It’s
quick and easy, completely secure, and there’s nothing for the customer to remember
—or forget. Speaker verification is an unobtrusive way to reduce fraud, eliminate
the need to issue and reset PINs, and reduce the length of telephone calls.
Maybe your customers don’t hate your IVR system. Maybe your contact center is
out ahead of the curve, and your self-service applications delight your customers and
make their experience of dealing with your company a pleasure.
But if this is not the case—if you’ve been reluctant to deploy an IVR system because
you’re put off by their shady reputation, or you have an IVR solution and your
customers aren’t happy with it—then it’s probably time for you to investigate the
new capabilities available for voice self-service applications.
By applying the tips we’ve presented here and deploying state-of-the-art IVR technology,
you can improve customer service, increase revenue, and reduce contact
center expenses.
