inContact, the leading provider of cloud-based call center software and call center agent optimization tools, announced today that a leading marketing and lead generation firm selected the inContact cloud-based interactive voice response (IVR) solution to enhance its marketing response messages.
The marketing company helps its clients efficiently place and respond to advertising. When a prospective customer completes a lead form requesting more information, the marketing firm will leverage the inContact IVR to immediately make an outbound call to the prospective customer, who is driven into the sales contact center. If the prospective customer answers the phone, the call is moved into the sales queue. If the prospective customer doesn’t answer the phone, the IVR will leave a message with a toll-free number to call for more information.
By leveraging the inContact system, the marketing company will have a reliable, scalable resource that can adjust according to demand, and by automating the system, the company will dramatically increase the efficiencies of its call center as opposed to having call center agents reach out to the more than 96,000 records they respond to each month.
“By leveraging the inContact IVR, this customer will have resources they need at their disposal, no matter the volume,” said Paul Jarman, inContact CEO. “The power of the inContact system is that it can be modified and scaled based on demand, without the expense of expanding the in-house telecommunications infrastructure.”

NEW YORK – To help multinational businesses and government agencies communicate more effectively with their customers and provide better service, Verizon has teamed with inContact, the leading provider of cloud contact center solutions, to offer an advanced suite of cloud-based Virtual Contact Center services.
The innovative offering, available in January of 2012, will enable customers of businesses and government agencies to choose how they want to contact and interact with the organization. For example, a customer reaching a company by phone would have the option of speaking with a live agent or requesting a call back if one is not immediately available. Customers could also use the Web for an online chat or to get answers to frequently asked questions. Other features include:
Mike Palmer, vice president of enterprise strategy and marketing for Verizon, said, “Nine out of 10 of the world’s leading financial firms and countless other world-class businesses rely on Verizon’s Contact Center solutions to strengthen their customer relationships. We’ve joined forces with inContact, after an extensive review of the players in the market, to build on our successful track record by accelerating delivery of innovative customer care capabilities as part of our strategy to deliver innovative enterprise cloud solutions for multinational and government customers worldwide.”
Since Virtual Contact Center solutions are cloud-based, there is no upfront capital investment and they can be employed to augment and adjust existing customer service operations to more flexibly address changing business requirements.
In her Mid-Year 2011 Contact Center Trends Watch List, Elizabeth Herrell, vice president and principal analyst for Constellation Research said, “There is a big opportunity for companies who need to support departmental customer initiatives but lack budgets for acquiring the technology infrastructure. Alternatives include evaluating outsourcers or considering cloud-based services. Cloud services can inexpensively offer bundled solutions to quickly launch customer support operations.”
Paul Jarman, inContact CEO, said, “Bringing inContact’s award-winning cloud platform and deep experience with highly satisfied customers to Verizon’s world-class suite of Contact Center solutions will help to accelerate cloud-based customer contact solution adoption. Together with Verizon’s global reach and world-class sales and service teams, we will be able to shape and meet the growing demand for these compelling and cost-effective customer-facing capabilities.”
