Unlock Your Call Centre

In the live interactive webinar (Tuesday, March 8th), join Opus Research, RedRoute, and Brooklinen to learn strategic approaches for call automation and what your business can do to help deliver better customer experiences. 

Topics include:
-- Achieving business results for reducing abandoned calls, queue time, and talk time
-- The value of no-cost, easy implementation and performance-based pricing
-- How RedRoute's solution is helping businesses today
-- Brooklinen's RedRoute integration experience and performance

Overview of topic and discussion
The key to providing a great customer experience is meeting customers in their support channel of choice, the phone. Automated self-service and intelligent assistants benefit from simple, narrow support requirements for customer care, saving considerable live agent costs in call deflection. The best call automation assistants can reliably handle high volumes of user intents (e.g., status of order, cancel order, change my order, returns, etc.) with impressive precision. The benefits are well known but have long been out-of-reach for most brands.

One company that is delivering better customer experiences with call automation is RedRoute. The company has achieved success by emphasizing speed to deploy (~30 minutes) and delivering results. For contact centers on modern tech stacks, RedRoute can automate a significant portion of calls and free live agents to handle more complex support cases, enabling brands to affordably deliver high quality phone support. RedRoute's SaaS solution has strong adoption with eCommerce brands, and the company just announced the closing of their $6.5M Seed Round.

Getting Technical with Enterprise Voice Deployments

In order to build successful intelligent assistants, companies shouldn’t have to compromise or migrate their existing chatbot solution to a new platform simply because they want to support voice. 

Join Dan Miller and Scott Baker from Opus Research, Livio Pugliese from PhoneMyBot and Jordi Torras from Inbenta as they review new opportunities to simplify the adoption of voice channels with an existing chatbot integration.

Topics include:
Models for Deploying Intelligent Voice Assistants

* Why Inbenta partnered with PhoneMyBot for a fully integrated solution

Integrating Voice into Omnichannel Bot Solutions

As more and more contact centers adopt natural language technologies, what will it take for customers to truly accept voice assistants?  Advancements voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, etc.) are not taking place in a historical vacuum. Individual end-users -- be they prospects, first-time shoppers, or long-time rewards program members -- have grown skeptical of the ability for a “voicebot” to meet their immediate needs. When it comes to voice assistants and speech-enabled services, public acceptance, expectations, and use consistently lagged behind technological advancements.   In this live, interactive webinar with Opus Research and PolyAi (Tuesday, Nov 16), learn how voice services are now results-oriented, success-focused, and faster than alternatives. Topics include:  * Long-term success will drive more use cases and increased usage * Real-world examples of both “good” and “bad” voice assistants * Checklist for success: Understand synonyms, accents, languages and handle multiple intents

The Voice Assistance Challenge: Exceeding Customer Expectations

Digital Transformation is hard! But, these days, it’s mandatory. To stay competitive, companies must make themselves available to their as they turn to online resources and mobile devices to make crucial contact. The problem is that, as they support omnichannel and multi-modal strategies, they are moving IVRs and contact center resources to “the Cloud.” And many businesses are challenged to manage and maintain optimal customer care for both an on-premise and hosted environments.

Join Opus Research and Speech-Soft Solutions as they describe critical steps you can take to master the dual challenges presented when companies must apply new technologies to respond to customers’ rapidly changing expectations. Topics include:

* The Checkered Past of Cloud Migration
* What’s New? – Adding AI-infused Resources
* Why Now? 
* The Self-Service Saga

Taking on the Insurmountable: Migrating Customer Care to the Cloud

In this Age of Digital Transformation, it is a major challenge for Contact Center and CX professionals just to keep voice-based resources up and running… not to mention managing to keep technology fresh and add new capabilities. Too often they feel they are “damned if they do” buy into the view that the customer care is moving to chat and text or “damned if they don’t” keep the voice channel up-to-date with the latest and greatest AI-infused technologies. Join Opus Research and LumenVox executives to:
 
• Identify elements of the voice channel most in need of an upgrade
•	Understand strategies and tactics for introducing AI-infused voice elements
•	Determine how to migrate elements with an uncertain future to proven solutions
•	Take advantage of those proven solutions at the lowest price

The Age of Voice Innovation, Part II: What Keeps You Up at Night

CX, Contact Center and Customer Care professionals are clamoring for solutions that make voicebots and chatbots more “affective,” meaning “sensitive and empathetic to customers’ emotional state”. Too often these initiatives are at odds with the core demand for self-service resources to be more “effective,” meaning “efficient and active” in helping customers complete their desired tasks.

Join executives from Opus Research and Zaion in a video discussion and demonstration of technologies and approaches to making affective bots more effective for customers, specifically:

•	How does affective application of AI result in effective responses? 
•	Can a bot really be empathetic?
•	What is the downside of mis-applying Emotional AI?
•	Is there a clear way forward for making the most of Emotional AI?

Making Bots Both Affective and Effective

The Voice Channel for enterprise communications and customer care is the direct beneficiary of dramatic improvements in automated speech processing. Recognition and transcription are reaching unprecedented levels of accuracy; synthetic voices are often indistinguishable from humans; while voice biometrics detects both real and synthesized imposters reliably and at scale. 

Join Opus Research and LumenVox for a lively discussion of the factors that are giving new shape to the Voice Channel for both self-service and employee communications, including:
 
• Pricing: Benefitting from single language models and steadily declining costs 
• Accuracy: Creating new services and use cases (Moore’s law moves to the cloud)
• Tooling: Democratizing NLU to create voicebots and augmented IVRs
• Scalability: Serving a diverse customer base across a spectrum of devices

The Age of Voice Innovation, Part I: Attributes of the New Engine

The global survey of 400 decision-makers across 8 industries centered on current and planned uses of “automated speech recognition” technologies, specifically "speech-to-text conversion" deployed in conjunction with natural language understanding or speech analytics.

Many businesses are finding "accuracy" is table stakes for ASR-based solutions. Firms are putting a premium on real-time analytics and flexible deployment options.

In this webinar, Dan Miller, lead analyst & founder with Opus Research, and Derek Top, research director, join Shadi Baqleh, COO of Deepgram, to learn how businesses derive value from ASR solutions. Topics include: 

•	Exclusive data from a global survey of 400 business decision-makers
•	Combining voice recognition with search, commerce, and automation
•	Why implementations are largely use case driven
•	Redefining “voice of the customer” (i.e. better listening and intent recognition)

Delivering Business Value with Automated Speech Recognition

With ever-mounting pressure on customer service, customer experience and digital transformation executives to deliver self-service and automation strategies, some providers claim to have a “magic box” solution with AI and machine learning-fueled chatbot technologies.
