Raleigh-Durham, NC – January 27, 2021 – Avaya (NYSE: AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, today announced that its Avaya OneCloud™ CCaaS and OneCloud™ CPaaS portfolios are now available with Avaya AI Virtual Agent Enhanced, new human-like automation features that significantly improve customer experience and contact center efficiency.
This expanded conversational AI capability leverages Google Cloud Dialogflow CX, and is part of Avaya’s ongoing integration of Google Cloud’s Contact Center AI (CCAI). The powerful combination of Avaya AI innovation and Google Cloud CCAI are providing a better experience for users by seamlessly blending automated and assisted experiences throughout a customer’s interaction with the contact center.
Two leading U.S.-based telecommunications services providers are implementing Avaya Virtual Agent Enhanced to improve the experience their customers enjoy through more natural, nuanced and context-driven interactions. While virtual bots are ubiquitous, they had previously lacked essential capabilities for effectively interacting with customers, and the adoption of enhanced virtual agent features delivered by Avaya and Google Cloud is changing the game.
“Through partnerships with Google and others, Avaya’s OneCloud approach makes it possible for its enterprise customers to choose the flavor of Conversational AI that best fulfills use case-driven demand for machine learning, natural language processing and analytics,” explained Dan Miller, Lead Analyst at Opus Research. “They can afford to employ Intelligent Virtual Agents informed by innovation that Google Cloud has committed significant resources to develop.”
“Avaya and Google Cloud are delivering AI innovation that is making organizations more agile, more responsive and more capable of meeting the needs of today’s ‘everything customer',” said Eric Rossman, Avaya VP of Technology Partners and Alliances. “Being first to integrate Google Dialogflow CX as part of Avaya Virtual Agent Enhanced is providing Avaya OneCloud CCaaS and OneCloud CPaaS customers with a unique advantage in tailoring and customizing each experience and redefining what the customer journey looks like. Our strength in delivering AI continues to drive growth in our cloud solutions, and is making a real difference for our customers.”
Avaya OneCloud CCaaS contact center solutions are powering organizations’ customer experience centers to better connect and orchestrate all touchpoints across the customer journey--including voice, video, chat, messaging, and social--while leveraging the power of AI, insights, knowledge and resources from across the organization. This enables users to deliver not only the right customer experience but also the right employee experience for those supporting the customer journey.
Avaya OneCloud CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) enables organizations to build the experiences they want, and communications-enable apps with the workflow integration they need. Building and integrating apps with one click integration to Google Cloud Dialogflow CX using Avaya OneCloud CPaaS, users can quickly build applications with a platform that supports SMS, MMS, voice, messaging, and digital channels.
Avaya OneCloud CCaaS and OneCloud CPaaS users will benefit from increased flexibility, efficiency and scalability with key features from Avaya and Google Cloud including:
And the more powerful virtual agent feature announced today:
“Contact centers are often businesses’ frontline for delivering great customer experiences,” said Shantanu Misra, Head of Product for Dialogflow at Google Cloud. “Dialogflow CX brings new, advanced capabilities to virtual agents, helping contact center teams better prioritize customer needs and ultimately improving customer satisfaction. We’re excited to partner with leaders such as Avaya to integrate Dialogflow CX into customers’ existing contact center platforms and deliver Contact Center AI capabilities to businesses worldwide.”
