About Interactive Voice Response
This guide leads a system administrator through installing and configuring Interactive Voice
Response on a Business Communications Manager system.
Interactive Voice Response is an automated telephony application that prompts callers with a
combination of recorded menus and prompts, and real-time data from databases. Users enter digits
from their touch tone key pad that directs the Interactive Voice Response application to access
databases and play information back to the caller.
Interactive Voice Response is a call-handling system that frees up employees to perform their jobs,
and agents to make sales, rather than answer frequently asked questions. Interactive Voice
Response, can distribute calls, make announcements, and give callers access to relevant
information from dynamic databases 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
