SELF SERVICE IVR

2. INTRODUCTION
The long queues to get connected are no longer expected from a company which emphasizes
on its customers. ‘Self Service’ is the new mantra globally!!
The advent of technology has simplified human life to an extent where you don’t even need to
have a conversation with someone to get your job done. Few simple instructions and that’s it!
You get it all. Wondering how? Numerous companies offering diverse products and services
get connected with their customers through customer care centers and that’s nothing new. We
have been speaking to a customer care representative all these years. This undoubtedly has
been a resolution based attempt, however, it is time taking too.“

assembling it! You may have purchased an online service which doesn’t allow you to
log in and so on. The first thing splashing into your mind is Customer care.
But this is no longer the scenario. Microsoft conducted a research which states that
90% of consumers globally are expecting self-service customer support sites. Other

service over the traditional customer support. The projected vision is that consumers
will manage 85% of work themselves without interacting with a human representative.
