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.
