Blueworx, a provider of Interactive Voice and Customer Experience solutions designed to deliver efficient, scalable, and reliable voice technologies, announces two new releases for Blueworx Voice Response for Linux. The new releases provide enhancements for both on-premise and Blueworx Cloud solutions with the same secure, rock-solid stability and unparalleled scalability expected from Blueworx Voice Response.
Careful planning is essential when migrating your contact center to the cloud. Studying all of your current processes and developing a roadmap ensures a successful migration. Most importantly, you need to make sure that this roadmap preserves a positive customer experience during and after the migration has taken place. Starting out, it is best to consider all of the different technologies you use and how they impact your contact center. You’ll then have to test whether these technologies are going to work with your new cloud contact center.
Let’s take a close look at tips you can put into action to ensure a successful migration of your contact center to the cloud.
Offering the best possible customer experience requires more than staffing a contact center and waiting for calls to arrive. Increasingly, customers expect to be contacted proactively with the information they want and need. Businesses are realizing the benefits, both in terms of increased customer loyalty and actual cost savings.
Blueworx Voice Response 7 for Linux (BVR) continues to offer a highly scalable, reliable and flexible IVR platform, allowing the user to extend the customer journey beyond traditional capabilities.
We are pleased to announce the release of BVR 7.15 for Linux which provides significant enhancements for the operation of both on-premise and cloud environments through the control of the cache. Our new and more sophisticated method of caching resources efficiently handles the requirements found in real-time multi-application settings, providing granularity and flexibility.
The way people interact with businesses has been revolutionized the past few years, thanks to the innovative advances now available through conversational AI.
Conversational AI has allowed our contact centers to engage with customers more naturally than ever, fast-tracking them to resolution more quickly than interactions handled by traditional systems. A customer is no longer frustrated by complex menus and instead simply asks a question or speaks their need. A bot then responds and delivers the customer to where they need to go. Well-designed bots and virtual assistants engage customers more deeply and with more expertise, encouraging them to explore automated services that might otherwise go unnoticed and untouched.
One of the cornerstones of Blueworx development is to be technology agnostic, giving customers the freedom and flexibility to choose the best complementary products and services for their particular application. In line with this vision, we have developed connectors to two speech engines – Amazon Speech and IBM Watson Speech.
When we initially designed the modular application framework in Blueworx Voice Response for Linux (BVR), we focused on a design for architecture that could be expanded over time to take advantage of new 3rd party products and services such as AI and speech. Our recent updates take advantage of this architecture to provide connectors to new speech services.
Are you contemplating the BIG decision move your contact center to the cloud? There are a lot of factors to consider when taking this step and one of the most important is this: have you taken into account how the transition will impact the customer experience?
Experience partnering with organizations in the early stages of AI has uncovered two recurring perceptions of how it applies to the contact center. The first perceives artificial intelligence as the solution to every business challenge, and then there are the healthy skeptics that see AI as too expensive, out of reach, and overly complicated for their environment. As you’d expect, there is a bit of truth to each perspective, with reality living squarely in between.
Building loyalty, meeting higher than ever service expectations and differentiating products and services from your competition are challenges that every Credit Union faces today. Searching for ways to take the member experience to the next level is constant as you seek to build better interactions that delight and grow your membership. We know the battle for members is fierce, and there are products and services available to help you.
Administrators of Contact Centers have 2 major bosses when it comes to maintaining a secure credit card environment: the companies that issue the cards and customers who are nervous about falling victim to credit card fraud or identity theft. Businesses who fail to maintain a secure environment for processing, storing, and transmitting credit card information face severe and lasting consequences. The issuing card companies can not only suspend their privilege to accept their cards, they can also levy monthly fines ranging from $50 to $90 for each card compromised. And since the fines are retroactive, the offending business is on the hook for all the months their customer data was endangered.
