Infotech Lead India: Infosys announced it is redefining customer service with SpeedSolve, a comprehensive next generation product that makes communication faster and more efficient for call centers and related operations.
Jointly developed by Infosys and AT&T, SpeedSolve leverages state-of-the-art technologies for messaging, multimedia, reporting and smart device integration to facilitate real-time collaboration between customer service representatives and subject matter experts.
Powered by Infosys Real-Time Expertise Manager, SpeedSolve helps resolve queries faster and more accurately by minimizing call transfers — all leading to better customer experience, higher agent productivity and increased cost savings.
“SpeedSolve has played a pivotal role in improving the operational efficiency of our call centers in supporting customers as well as our field force,” said Nathan Edwards, assistant vice president of network operations planning and support at AT&T.
SpeedSolve intelligently routes and schedules conversations to provide faster access to experts and information resources. The solution features an innovative analytics engine that mines valuable insights from customer interactions to help increase first-time resolution of queries and reduce call wait time.
