iPhones and Androids and IVRs: Customer Self-Service in the Smart Phone Age Thursday November 3, 2011 12:00pm EDT/ 9:00am PDT/ 5:00pm London Interactive Voice Response and Voice Portals have long been the mainstay customer self-service solutions used to front-end and off-load contact center agents. As more and more people trade-up to smart phones, what is the impact on these traditional customer self-service solutions? Where does the lowly audio menu and touchtone interface fit into a communications continuum that now puts the broadband multimedia web in customer pockets? What are the new end user expectations for customer service and how can IVR solution providers enable their customers to meet them? Join this webinar and learn about today's consumer preferences for customer service based on recent surveys by market research firm OVUM, and the implications for innovating self-service solutions such as IVR.
