Enabled seamless, unified communications across municipal departments
A city’s municipal government uses ice Contact Center to connect residents to staff from different city groups. These groups include transportation, hydro, libraries, billing, 311, and more. Citizens can contact them through voice, email, and web chat. These interactions can be tracked and reported using ice Contact Center, allowing the organization to streamline their services on a single platform. ice’s powerful tracking and reporting capabilities allow the city to plan for seasonal increases in volume and ensure they can provide the best possible service to their residents at peak times.
Streamlined child support inquiries
A child support payment inquiries hotline chose ice for their IVR system; this decision led to a decrease in their operator-assisted calls by 40%. Their previous DTMF menu was slow and lengthy. The system was often overwhelmed, giving busy signals to callers. Now, callers can dial in and say their account number and PIN to receive payment updates. For more complex inquiries, callers can leverage the organization’s comprehensive website and access live operators.
Reduced costs with voice biometrics
ice uses voice biometrics to accurately verify the identity of a caller. This sophisticated feature is successfully used by governments to ensure that low risk criminals under house arrest are indeed at home by calling their home phone at random times. This application offers relief to busy jails with a solution that is more effective and less costly than the administration of ankle bracelets.
