Automated Speech Recognition
Take your IVR to the next level with Automated Speech Recognition (ASR). ASR lets you remove the constraints of a standard touch-tone IVR application to enhance the customer experience. Customers are able to speak their needs using natural language. ComputerTalk also offers voice biometrics to authenticate users through their voice.
IVR and Contact Center Continuity
IVR applications are not always able to answer all inquiries. Sometimes customers have complex or non-routine issues and need to be transferred to a contact center agent. ComputerTalk's IVR and ice Contact Center are both built using the iceWorkflow Designer tool to provide a seamless and continuous flow of information between IVR and contact center.
Outbound IVR
Don’t wait for your customers to call you. Proactively reach out to them using outbound IVR applications. Deliver automated outbound communication that simply plays a message and disconnects or plays IVR prompts where prospects can interact with menus

Advantage
When your IVR applications are built on the same technology as your contact center, you avoid additional support and integration costs. You are able to view comprehensive reports relevant to your IVR and contact center to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions. ComputerTalk's IVR is easy to update to accommodate your changing business needs.

3 Contact Center Tools to Improve Efficiency and Drive Customer Engagement
As a contact center manager, that is not the experience you want your customers to have. What you might not know is how to prevent it. Fortunately, there are a number of tools you can take advantage of to improve efficiency and help keep those wait times down.
Read on to learn about 3 of the most popular features of ComputerTalk's ice Contact Center.
Call back
This feature gives customers the option to leave their name and number and maintain their place in the queue without waiting on the phone. When this feature is enabled, customers have a better experience because they don’t have to wait on
hold. When the customer experience is improved, agents encounter less unpleasant customers. This feature can reduce your abandon rate and average time in queue.
Updated workflow routing
Workflow routing includes routing customers to the best possible destination to resolve their issues. Through appropriate workflow routing, agents can improve the customer experience by reducing the time in queue. Routing customers to the proper agent the first time allows agents to solve customer issues quickly and efficiently without transferring the customer to another department. Adding skills to your workflow enables agents with a specific skill to answer the call, minimizing transfers and hold times. If you're interested in learning more about adding skills to your workflow, check out this webinar.
LOB codes
LOB codes, also known as line of business codes, are pre-recorded codes used to quickly categorize customer interactions by the primary reason for the customer interaction. LOB codes reduce the amount of paperwork agents need to complete after the call and can help to quickly identify top customer concerns.
Tools like these can be extremely useful for keeping your contact center running efficiently and ultimately keeping customers happy.
