Ankit Jain CEO and founder, MyOperator, tells us more. Excerpts:

DQ: How is the call management industry doing today?

Ankit Jain: Frontline customer service jobs have been on the rise for the last six years and would continue by another 5% over the next 10 years. AI isn’t eliminating customer service roles, it’s simply changing them, evolving what is handled by machine, and what is handled by humans, and what is handled through a blend of Human+AI.

CFI Group’s 2018 Contact Centre Satisfaction Index report states that live agents still drive customer satisfaction because Voice is still 79% of channel volume. Furthermore, the survey results clearly show that the faster the call is handled, by the first agent, on the first call, the higher the customer satisfaction ratings.

DQ: What are the industry trends in call management solutions?

Ankit Jain: The biggest trend we have witness in call management industry is the amalgamation of artificial intelligence with voice bots. Businesses are getting deeper into predictive analytics, using AI applications to help streamline call centre experiences for customers and agents.

Industry-specific voice bots: A voice bot is a virtual ‘bot’ or computer program that conducts a conversation using technologies such as AI and natural language processing (NLP). Voice bots are getting efficient in collecting more information about their target audience and figuring out what exactly customers want or need to hear.

Vernacular customer support: This is particularly important in a highly linguistically diverse country like India. With the help of cloud telephony products are undergoing consistent development support multiple languages. It would not only ensure a far superior customer experience by eliminating bot breaks caused by users inputting queries in non-English languages but also equipped with the ability to converse in vernacular languages. This would make them accessible to the vast number of Indians for whom English was not the language of choice.

Voice analytics: Voice analytics are the use of a voice recognition tool to analyze and record a spoken conversation. Voice analytics solutions are giving enterprises access to direct analysis of recorded customer calls. This is helping them gather accurate customer information to improve communication and future interaction.

DQ: What are the growth plans of MyOperator, and what is the way ahead for the company?
