PLEASANTON, Calif. (November 15, 2010) – Five9 Inc., the market leader in on-demand call center software, announced availability today of their on-demand Interactive Voice Response (IVR) with Speech Recognition, a new offering within the Five9 Virtual Call Center Release 8 product line. Self-Service IVR with Speech Recognition may be ordered from Five9 as a standalone product or in combination with either the Five9 Inbound Call Center or Blended Call Center.

Taking advantage of the latest in advanced speech recognition technology, and configured via an easy-to-use graphical user interface, the Five9 Self-Service IVR can analyze spoken input from callers and provide appropriate responses, meeting callers’ expectations for service quality and efficiency.

The Five9 Self-Service IVR offers any call center a cost-effective way to increase call deflection rates by building speech-enabled IVR applications such as bill payment, store and branch location queries, debt collections, appointment reminders, order status, reservations requests and more, optimizing agents’ time so they are available for more high-value telephone calls.
