SmartAction Receives 2014 Speech Technology Excellence Award
El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) September 05, 2014 -- SmartAction, a provider of Artificial Intelligence voice self-service, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has granted its Intelligent Voice Automation (IVA™) technology with a 2014 Speech Technology Excellence Award.
This tenth-annual Speech Technology Excellence Award, presented by CUSTOMER Magazine, honors companies who have demonstrated innovation in speech technology solutions that improve the bottom line for their customers.
SmartAction’s IVA solution is being recognized for helping businesses deliver faster, more accurate self-service in their call centers. The IVA technology is different from traditional voice automation, and is based on a proprietary artificial intelligence engine that constantly learns and improves as it interacts with callers, enabling it to engage in more human-like conversations, which creates a more pleasant and efficient customer service experience.
“We are delighted to receive the Speech Technology Excellence Award,” said Tom Lewis, CEO of SmartAction. “In our fast-paced world, the customer service landscape has become increasingly complex, with callers demanding instant answers and solutions to a variety of problems. Our IVA solution has the ability to understand language and context, and engages callers in natural language conversations. This means customers’ needs are often addressed more quickly easily, and live agents are freed up to handle the more complicated calls.”
“SmartAction has demonstrated to the editors of CUSTOMER magazine that its product is both innovative and a leader in the speech technology industry. Its IVA solution has proven its superior capabilities and has ultimately improved the bottom line for its customers,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.
The Speech Technology Excellence Awards will be published in the 2014 October issue of Customer Magazine.
