Adding Video to Interactive Systems

Interactive Voice and Video Response (IVVR) systems add a new dimension to the IVR paradigm by giving IVR systems the ability to use dynamic or static video information for caller assistance. IVVR systems offer the following benefits:

• Address more complex tasks than those addressed by audio-only systems, and deliver instructions for these tasks when and where they are needed
• Simplify user interfaces on mobile phones
• Provide video-on-hold that can help solve customer issues or promote company services

To help you understand the possibilities for using video in the contact center, Dialogic offers a white paper called The Video-Enabled Contact Center, which is available for download.
