As Nuance sunsets their CX product suite, businesses may be left uncertain. Amazon Connect offers flexible IVR options to meet your unique needs and timelines.

Overview

Amazon Connect, an AI-powered cloud contact center solution from AWS, enables companies of all sizes to deliver superior customer experiences at a lower cost. Customers across all industries have successfully migrated from on-premises, hosted managed service, and cloud-based Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions, while improving customer satisfaction, containment, intent accuracy, first call resolution, speed to innovate, and more.

Benefits

Rapidly test, deploy, and scale with native conversational AI capabilities for natural language understanding (NLU), automatic speech recognition (ASR), and natural-sounding, multilingual text-to-speech. Maintain complete access and control over the application, while benefiting from continuous innovations in speech, generative AI, and more.

Eliminate the lengthy and costly integration work required for some third-party NLU/ASR and text-to-speech components. Rapidly design, test, iterate, and deploy AI-powered self-service experiences without the overhead of managing complex technology stacks and vendor relationships.
