TuVox, a leading provider of on demand speech applications, today
announced that British Airways, the United Kingdom's largest
international airline, has deployed a TuVox Conversational Speech
application to assist in the drive for greater customer self service.
TuVox provides British Airways customers with a quick and efficient
way to retrieve flight information such as departure time, terminal
location, meal information and baggage allowance, through a natural
language voice application.
British Airways understands the importance of creating a
self-service experience that is intuitive, friendly and effective for
callers. Deployed in August 2006, the TuVox speech application
achieves strong end-to-end automation rates for callers requesting
flight status information based on their flight confirmation number.
British Airways set a challenging performance threshold for the
application and the TuVox speech application consistently exceeds
those expectations.
"We selected TuVox because of their enthusiasm and flexible
approach in tackling what was a complex airline project with
challenging business targets," said Pete Smith, Voice & Video
Applications Manager, British Airways. "TuVox's solution has enhanced
our ability to provide customers with 24 x 7 easy access to a range of
information about their booking."
"We are honoured that British Airways has selected TuVox to
deliver its voice automated customer self-service objectives," said
Larry Miller, president and CEO of TuVox. "British Airways are
demonstrating how voice self-service can effectively complement the
service provided by its contact centres by offering customers easier
access to information about their travel arrangements at their time of
choosing."
