This document discusses the business case and deployment of an intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) for a telecommunications company.
The key points are:
1) The company wanted to improve customer experience and maintain or reduce call center staffing levels as traffic increased with 3G investment. An IVA was proposed to improve self-service rates and routing accuracy.
2) Initial deployment challenges included selecting the right vendor, designing natural call flows, and training agents and customers in using the new system.
3) After deployment, results included a 50% increase in satisfaction with the IVR, 94% routing accuracy, and significant gains in self-service reducing call volumes.
