With IVP 6, according to the company, clients can now create highly personalized speech solutions, leveraging a set of rules and policies that can be constructed by integrating with the Convergys Dynamic Decisioning Solution. With the release, Convergys noted, it empowers enterprises to think differently about the customer experience by introducing a voice portal platform designed to facilitate the development of multimodal applications that enable mobile self-service.
For the past eight years, the number of mobile phone subscribers has grown globally at an average rate of 24 percent year over year. "For enterprises competing for market share and looking to improve customer satisfaction ratings, having the ability to use multimodal applications to enable self-service for mobile device users will be a differentiator," said Daniel Hong, Lead Analyst, Datamonitor. "When looking at the evolution of phone-based self-service technologies, it began with touch-tone, progressed to include speech, and now the next phrase: multimodal enablement. This next stage in the evolution of phone-based self-service includes personalization and takes into account the proliferation of mobile devices."
Convergys said the latest version of IVP provides universal access to the exploding audience of mobile device users. Interaction Composer is an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for building, deploying, and managing applications with a drag and drop components and extensibility framework that enable both call center programmers and IT developers to develop complex voice or multimodal applications. Interaction Composer enables the development of applications that allow callers to perform tasks simultaneously or interrupt tasks with new requests, and then resume tasks where they left off. Interaction Composer application runtime leverages the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification for State Chart eXtensible Markup Language (SCXML). Intervoice uses SCXML as an extended application notation that enables combining call control functionality with voice interactions and mobile phone screen pops, as well as other types of message-oriented interactions such as SMS.
For enterprises with legacy IVR applications, Interaction Composer also enables the migration of legacy IVR applications to open-standards applications that can include a speech option for more efficient self-service calls, the company noted in a release.
