Digital voice management solutions help companies address the challenge of uniting various siloes – marketing, support, product development and business channels – enabling rapid deployment of voice services on an international scale. They empower businesses to manage and configure incoming, outgoing, IP and local and international calls in just a few seconds using an online management console accessible from anywhere.
Digital voice management solutions can also enable a business to optimize existing telephony systems, introducing the scalability and flexibility they need. By transforming legacy voice services into digital data, it becomes possible to yield the digital harvest. For example, businesses can use these systems to connect existing unified communications systems to new infrastructure. Combining digital voice management with UC systems can provide deeper security and management of user profiles, behavior and activity.
Every call provides a wealth of additional data that can also be turned into actionable information. Digital transformation, voice recognition and AI make it possible to harvest this information. This data can then be used to drive useful tools, such as consumer-facing chatbots, or to enable in-call efficiencies, such as automated appointment creation. It is possible to gather resolution data, customer satisfaction insights and more.
What happens when you analyze all this information?
Unlocking insight with data analytics
Data analysis of voice calls can already help identify anomalies in contact center operations, enabling management to identify performance bottlenecks or unsatisfactory outcomes.
Augment data analytics with AI, and it becomes possible to identify trends through machine learning: Do customers make queries at certain times of day? Can automated services field those inquiries so call service agents can address more complex challenges? Has this customer made contact regarding this problem in the past, and was it satisfactorily resolved?
Automated data mining systems can inform staff if the last query made from a specific number was adequately resolved. Fault monitoring, personalization and resolution can all be improved through intelligent application of data analytics to the information your digital voice services are already collecting.
At Orange, voice data already informs fraud monitoring and network performance management systems. The company is also developing solutions for predictive fraud detection and resolution.
“Fraud detection at contact centers is a really big issue,” explains David Chatt, Orange Business Global Director for Voice, who warns attacks can easily cost a business as much as $10,000 per hour. There was a 113 percent rise in fraudulent call center calls in 2018, Pindrop claims.
In the future, Orange plans to offer solutions for business analytics, using voice and other data to deliver real-time insights into how a business works and what customers need or are likely to need. “We want to not just provide the data in some kind of portal, but to be able to offer professional services to help enterprises use this data to improve their business,” says Chatt.
“A company can see real insights into how products are performing in different locations and tweak their offer in response,” he said.
Think about how one might apply real-time voice analysis during a call. Such activity may yield real-time insights, such as product fault reporting or insights into international service failures. Intelligent machine-driven data analytics may potentially identify information concerning a customer that can be used to identify new product opportunities.
Working together, AI, big data analytics and digital voice communications create increasingly valuable information that promises profound benefit to your business when properly unlocked.
