Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ supports both voice and digital experiences and is part of Verint’s Customer Engagement Portfolio. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, it provides personalized answers to customer questions and requests based on the customer’s prior purchases, location and other factors. It can predict what a customer wants and automate the best next action. Customers experience higher goal completion rates with a user experience that’s better, smarter and faster, and that involves less effort. Businesses can realize greater self-service use across all channels, translating into higher automation and lower escalation rates.
“In this latest report, DMG positions IVAs as the first responders for Customer Service, and I couldn’t agree more as we saw this with the initial and continued phases of COVID-19,” says Verint’s Nancy Treaster, SVP and general manager of strategic operations. “While the world transitions to the new normal, companies who deployed IVAs are experiencing the strategic value they can provide across their organization. Now is the time for businesses and contact centers to deploy IVAs in ways that will help them now and support their plans for the future.”
