What it is
IP Contact Center (IPCC) services include cloud hosting, Voice over IP (VoIP) inbound, interactive voice response (IVR), managed options and more.
VoIP options: Inbound call options including local, domestic toll-free, local-to-global and international can be layered with advanced features to fit the needs of your business.
Interactive voice response: IVR handles high call volumes with intelligent routing and self service. Inbound calls route based on customer inputs and network capabilities so that callers can reach the right resources the first time or transfer without making a new call.
Network usage and metrics: IPCC services include the capabilities that most contact centers need in a single usage rate. We can integrate network functionality with your on-premises platforms, with strong network metrics and an SLA to back them.
User-defined parameters: Total call routing control is based on user-defined parameters, permitting high-speed links between a company's Customer Access Point (CAP) and the Verizon Data Access Point (DAP).
How traffic is directed:
Routing or blocking callers using automatic number identification (ANI)
Delivery of caller-entered digits from IVR prompts
Caller profile routing based on your systems knowledge of customer relationship management (CRM)
Call routing using time of day and/or geographic area
