What if you could reduce cost of delivering these services by 30% by deflecting simple service questions and minimizing wait times? Join this session to find out how you can better use current resources to deliver a better service at a lower cost with higher citizen satisfaction using IVR deflection to messaging: "...press 1 to chat with us. We'll send you a link and we'll handle your query right away." - Room B - Channel Shift in Customer Services
