Qwest Communications has added Qwest (News - Alert) iQ On Demand IVR service to its Qwest iQ Contact Center, call center suite of services.
Officials with Qwest said that this new product is a portal-based application development tool that enables the company's customers to create and manage automated contact management applications to caller experience, reduce the cost of new and on-going application development, and leverage business' existing data.
According to company officials, On Demand IVR includes full Interactive Voice Response capabilities enhanced with voice mail, speech recognition, call recording, and reporting and analytics.
Company officials said that leveraging the SaaS (News - Alert) model, the service also enables customers' IVRs to integrate with other applications, such as sales and customer service, and enterprise data to improve the caller experience.
Qwest officials said that the company partnered with Angel.com, a provider of enterprise-focused, cloud-based customer experience solutions to deliver this IVR solution delivered via state-of-the-art Software-as-a-Service platform that puts the Caller First with every call.
"Lets face it; people dislike poorly designed IVR applications. With Qwest iQ On Demand IVR, businesses can change that experience without investing tens of thousands of dollars - and months of development time", said Eric Bozich, vice president of product management, Qwest, in a statement.
Bozich said that Qwest is delivering on its pledge to perfect the customers' experience through good automation that makes peoples' lives easier.
"Angel.com is proud that Qwest chose our White Label Service to reach more enterprise customers and their callers. Qwest is joining us in the mission to overcome the stigma associated with traditional, on-premise IVR systems by providing significant value in terms of caller satisfaction and business benefits", said David Rennyson, president of Angel.com.
Rennyson said that Qwest is using cloud computing to bring tremendous value to its customers.
