We understand that integrating a new solution, whether that is AI, a point solution, an IVR, or anything else, is not an easy process. Call routing, interactivevoiceresponse and voice-based chatbots are a few examples of that technology. Implementation takes time, and change is difficult to manage.
Understanding The Intricacies of Contact Center Automation Contact center automation involves automating and optimizing customer service through the strategic use of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), InteractiveVoiceResponse (IVR) systems, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) etc.
In a recent panel discussion with CCNG members on the topic of 2021 Contact Center Predictions, Ron shares a few perspectives learned from this year. I predict 2021 will bring renewed analysis and investment in self service – not only in emerging tech like chat bots, but basic bread and butter self-service technologies like legacy IVR.

It should integrate with any system, including the IVR, collaboration tools, and CRMs, and it should be easy to stand up in weeks, not months. Vicki Brackett is a contact center industry veteran, a long time CCNG member and regular contributor in member programs and events. The business climate continues to rapidly change.
Interactivevoice recognition (IVR) systems empower customers to navigate menus and resolve queries effortlessly, enhancing self-service capabilities and reducing wait times. For the past several years Patrick has been an active CCNG member offering insights and perspectives to the benefit of his peers.
Autonomous contact centers use voice AI to speak with customers naturally, understand intent, and resolve their issues. They don't replace existing contact center software but instead, integrate with it and work either in front of an IVR to take all inbound calls or behind the IVR.

They are indeed a great example of intelligent technology designed for a specific purpose.
