Background:

DMG Consulting LLC, a leading provider of contact center, back-office and real-time analytics market research and consulting services, today released its 2018 Intelligent Virtual Agent Product and Market Report. This Report covers all aspects of this emerging IT sector, which is building momentum because of its compelling business benefits for enterprises, contact centers and customers.

Recent advancements in AI technology, along with consumer preferences for self-service options in digital channels, are driving interest in and adoption of IVAs. IVAs utilize various technologies to handle each interaction: natural language processing (NLP)/natural language understanding (NLU), voice biometrics, predictive analytics, visual interactive voice response (IVR), omni-channel surveying, speech and text analytics, customer journey analytics, computer telephony integration, and other tools, to offer a new generation of “concierge-type” service. The benefits of IVAs transcend verticals: they can serve as personal shoppers, ensure compliance with healthcare protocols, book reservations or schedule appointments, assist with financial transactions, and much more.

“Today’s IVAs are getting ‘smarter,’ thanks to increasing use of machine learning, which enables IVAs to ’learn’ from past interactions to improve their understanding of customers’ individual preferences increases over time,” said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting. “This results in a highly personalized experience for each and every person who reaches out to, or is contacted by, the organization.”

Today’s leading service environments combine the best of self-service automation with human-assisted elements. IVAs assist agents by providing them with information drawn from knowledge bases, customer profiles and other online sources to optimize and personalize each customer interaction, allowing them to make the most of each service and sales opportunity. For businesses, the bottom-line benefits of IVAs are compelling; even a small increase in automation utilization rates can both improve the customer experience and net millions in savings per year.
