Thirty three years ago, Mike Cowen was sitting in the bleachers watching his son’s baseball game, when he noticed the diamond didn’t have a scoreboard.

From its start in a California garage to today’s 40,000 square...

The voices were robotic, artificial, difficult to understand and often resulted in poor customer satisfaction. Modern IVR systems have evolved dramatically. When used properly, they can be an effective tool for developing an omnichannel customer experience. 1) Call Deflection to Text-Based System Call deflection may initially sound like call avoidance. But, when coupled with a...
