Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 2:00pm ET / 11:00am PT

Norwalk, Conn. July 21, 2010 - Technology Marketing Corporation “TMC (News - Alert),” a global, integrated media company, and Angel.com have announced a partnership to deliver a Webinar event, “Using Voice Biometrics & Voice Signature to Reduce Costs, Improve Customer Service and Fight Fraud ” on July 28, 2010 at 2:00pm ET/ 11:00am PT.  

This complimentary Webinar, sponsored by Angel.com, will outline and explain how voice can be used as a unique human identifier for security purposes, the different models used for integrating voice biometrics into existing IVR and Contact Center channels, and the types of transactions that can be replaced using voice biometrics, including caller authentication, password reset and transaction signing.  

Bank account balances. Medical test results. Secure phone orders. Customers call your IVR for many reasons, but what they all have in common is they want their information quickly and they want it to be secure. Current security measures are outdated, including passwords, PINs, or personal information to confirm identity, creating a lengthy process for the caller and placing undue burden on your call center agents. Registration and confirmation processes which currently require off-line paper forms have lower conversion rates than they should.

Join Angel.com and VoiceVault to learn how your organization can provide better customer service, higher levels of data security, and increase conversion rates by using Voice Biometrics and Voice Signature solutions. Your voice is a ‘spoken identifier’. By identifying your callers using their individual voice, you provide a secure and easy way for customers to access private information as well as “sign on the dotted line” using a voice print.

This webinar is perfect for companies interested in replacing lengthy paper-based signature processes with real-time voice signatures, IVR and Contact Center managers and professionals interested in streamlining customer verification processes, and companies looking to prevent identity theft and provide increased fraud protection for their customers. 

SPEAKERS:

Rich Scarbath, Channel Director, Angel.com  

Julia Webb, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, VoiceVault

Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk Editor, TMCnet
