To download the Gartner MarketScope 2012 for IVR Systems and Enterprise Voice Portals, please visit www.voxeo.com/marketscope2012. The report focuses on interactive voice response (IVR) and voice portal platforms being valuable technologies for improving the return on contact center investments. They provide customer self-service capabilities that reduce the reliance on contact center agents to resolve customer service issues. Leading companies require their customer service operations to increase automation and offer greater levels of personalization in self-service, as well as continually evaluate how to increase self-service utilization and call completion rates. "We believe the Gartner report underscores our commitment to providing the most complete yet flexible platform and development environment for Unified Self-Service," said Jonathan Taylor, chairman and CEO of Voxeo. "We are pleased that Gartner rated Voxeo as a 'Strong Positive.' We consider this rating a testament of our product strategy, innovation, business model, market understanding and above all, our customer service. We're dedicated to this market, and it's an honor to be recognized for that."
