TMCNet:  Voxify Supports Genesys to Deliver the "Intelligent Customer Front Door" Solution

Voxify Supports Genesys to Deliver the "Intelligent Customer Front Door" Solution

(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) ALAMEDA, CA, April 16 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Voxify?, the company that enables contact
centers to offer self-service for customer phone calls announced that it
will provide critical speech applications in support of the Genesys
"Intelligent Customer Front Door(TM)" (iCFD) solutions. The integrated
speech solutions will deliver a virtual front door for all incoming calls
to enhance the customer experience and deliver a consistent brand image by
applying business logic to each transaction that considers caller identity,
intent, preferences and call context to enable personalized interactions.

Genesys introduced the iCFD solution framework in early April which
leverages Voxify's self-service solutions. Already a provider of the
highest quality speech self-service to the Genesys Voice Platform (GVP),
Voxify provides a suite of customer interaction applications that are
pre-integrated with the Genesys Dynamic Contact Center. Additionally,
Voxify brings to the table unique interactive outbound
calling applications and flexible deployment options.

More than 74 percent* of consumers surveyed said a great contact center
experience has a major impact on their loyalty. However, many businesses
today use technology to only deflect calls and contain costs, and these
systems have frustrated their customers. The iCFD improves the overall
customer experience by leveraging Genesys Voice Platform and Customer
Interaction Management Platform, combined with a business rules engine and
Voxify's customer interaction applications and expertise. With an iCFD
Solution an enterprise can:

-- Discern the identity and intent of a caller in the fewest steps
-- Gather relevant information from back-end data or workflow to
understand the context of their call
-- Determine how to treat callers based on established business rules
-- Match the most relevant and available resource, including self-
service, proactive notification, automatic callback or live service to
deliver the best customer experience.


Unlike traditional approaches to speech self-service, within iCFD,
customers are not always directed to automated systems, but evaluated based
on their profile, their specific needs, and business rules.

"Voxify's speech technology is an essential piece of Genesys' Intelligent
Customer Front Door vision. The solution will bring to enterprises a
strategy for delivering an exceptional customer experience, increased
contact center efficiency and productivity, and generating incremental
revenue through cross-selling and up-selling," says, Brian Bischoff, Vice
President, Genesys. "The tight integration of Voxify speech self-service
with GVP, our business rules engine, and Genesys' Customer Interaction
Management enables companies to offer a comprehensive and pervasive
solution under the Intelligent Customer Front Door strategy."

Voxify Automated
Agents? are interactive speech applications that achieve the highest
call completion rates, the lowest deployment risk, and deliver the best
customer service in the industry. Voxify's patented Conversation Engine?
powers the Automated Agents to replicate the conversational capabilities
and effectiveness of the best live agents.

Genesys Voice Platform is a standards-based software platform for
interactive voice response to provide cost-effective customer interactions
24x7. GVP incorporates speech recognition technology for conversational
exchange to identify and resolve customer requests. GVP is tightly
integrated with the Genesys Customer Interaction Management Platform so
that callers can seamlessly escalate from self-service to agent-assisted
service and preserve the context and content of their calls.

"Genesys Voice Platform combined with Voxify's customer interaction
applications are a natural fit to create game-changing customer
self-service solutions with a rapid ROI," said John Gengarella, CEO,
Voxify. "Voxify is providing the conversational speech technology through
our industry-leading Conversation Engine, which is the critical building
block needed to deliver the dynamic interaction through the Intelligent
Customer Front Door."
