Sponsored by: Nuance

Published August 24, 2018
While IVRs have been invaluable in reducing contact center costs, let’s face it: not many deliver a truly modern, intuitive and conversational experience. It’s no surprise given the rise of digital—which led many organizations to abandon focus and investment in their IVR in favor of mobile, websites and social channels. But digital hasn’t killed IVR—it’s just pushing it to be better. Customers expect the same seamless, intuitive experiences they get in the digital world everywhere they engage your organization—especially in the IVR.

Sponsored by: Nuance

Published August 24, 2018

It sounds great, but the trouble is the IVR usually sits in a silo, disconnected from the exciting new digital experiences that grab all the headlines (and budget). That’s where an IVR-to-digital strategy becomes critical, providing a way for your IVR to offer customers an alternative solution—like live chat or a virtual assistant that’s better suited to resolving their issues quickly (and saving you money).
