Jacada Extends Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal to the Smartphone with a Visual Interface


ATLANTA --(Business Wire)--

Jacada (News - Alert), Inc., a leading global provider of customer service technology designed to simplify the interaction between businesses and their customers, today announced the public availability of Visual IVR for Cisco. Designed to improve the customer experience with traditional Voice IVR systems, Visual IVR for Cisco (News - Alert) significantly reduces call times, reduces inbound call volume and improves customer satisfaction by offering a convenient way for customers to "touch" their way through a traditional IVR on their smartphone instead of listening to voice prompts.

Delivering a more sophisticated experience than a traditional IVR system, Jacada Visual IVR for Cisco presents consumers with a much greater range of options for resolving their questions or issues. Users are able to select menu options visually instead of listening for which keys to press, and experience advanced self-service capabilities with the rich features available on today's mobile devices. Jacada Visual IVR for Cisco works closely with an existing Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal deployment to re-use and extend the proven integrations and applications already deployed. This re-use enables a very short time to deployment, and low cost to configure, Visual IVR solution. The product also briges the gap between self-service and traditional voice channels by allowing customers to seamlessly connect to a live agent to complete the interaction, without having to repeat information.



"We've seen a tremendous shift in communication patterns over the last four years, and customers are demanding improved access to organizations via their mobile devices," said Guy Yair, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Jacada. "This growth in mobile devices has been the impetus for us to design a new way for customers to visually interact with an IVR in a convenient touch manner they have become accustomed to."

Jacada Visual IVR for Cisco works seamlessly with an organizations existing Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal IVR, allowing for a quick implementation. By reusing the existing voice IVR there is no need to develop new customer interactions which further improves the return on investment.


A webinar presenting Jacada Visual IVR for Cisco is being held on September 24th, 2014 and registrations are welcomed. For more information about Jacada Visual IVR for Cisco or to download the trial kit, visit the Visual IVR for Cisco page on Visual-IVR.com.
