IAT, a company that offers a variety of SmartDial technology solutions including IVR, predictive dialers, smart automatic dialers, and broadcast messaging designed specifically for the collections industry, recently celebrated its 26^th anniversary.

“We don’t create something generic and then market it to a collections audience,” said Ray Fowler, director of Sales & Marketing at IAT said in a press release.

“Every product we develop is created with the collection industry in mind. We rely on our customers’ feedback and our industry experience to create feature-sets that maximize debt collection productivity and efficiency, while keeping compliance in mind. Plus, we make our products flexible so they can be tailored to fit the needs of every collection agency,” Fowler added.

Founded in 1986 by Scott and Kent Sorensen, IAT has been specializing in predictive dialing and IVR messaging technology in the collections industry. Over the years IAT’s product list has grown to include other tools such as call recording, cell phone number scrubbing and disaster recovery/risk management capability.

IAT focuses in delivering hosted, site-premised and hybrid dialing solutions. IAT offers solutions for larger collection companies with its advanced CT Center product, a premier predictive dialing and IVR messaging on-site solution. CT Impact is IAT’s cutting-edge hosted solution, which provides a combination of predictive dialing and broadcast messaging.

“In today’s business world, it is extremely difficult to find a profitable organization 26 years in business that can boast laser-sharp industry focus, leading-edge products, industry-leading customers and caring and dedicated employees,” said Dave Rudd, co-owner and senior vice president of Finance & Administration at IAT, in a statement.

In a recent release, TMC (News - Alert) reported that with hosted IVR, agencies can better ensure debtors will have a better chance of paying their dues. IAT’s Smart Dial solution is noted to be a solution that can be configured to include options for debtors to transfer to agent, pay by phone or receive a message and callback on their time. This solution includes the option to contact debtors during legal calling hours so collection efforts continue.
