Utility interactive voice response (IVR) systems serve as the initial point of contact for customers calling utility contact centers. Delivering a positive IVR interaction is crucial for the utility customer experience.

The E Source Utility IVR Industry Scan evaluates utility IVRs on:

  • Capabilities
  • Ease of use
  • Challenges
  • Voice characteristics
  • Performance

Utilities use the results to assess IVR improvements as they relate to customers’ needs.
