The partnership between Uniphore and Tech Mahindra combines Uniphore’s AI and automation-driven technology with Tech Mahindra’s service expertise. Uniphore and Tech Mahindra jointly create exceptional customer experiences and improve service outcomes by supporting customer service automation.
Subject matter experts Jafar Syed of Uniphore and Saurabh Rai of Tech Mahindra have teamed up to present a podcast that explores how conversational automation generates return on investment (ROI) by promoting innovation, boosting agent productivity, and increasing customer satisfaction.
Uniphore and Tech Mahindra Partnership
Uniphore and Tech Mahindra have joined together to transform customer services and to ensure that every customer has a voice. The Conversational Automation platform uses AI to hear what service agents might miss, including emotion and intent. Tech Mahindra’s digital transformation, consulting, and business re-engineering services ensure that organizations are positioned to adopt the latest innovations in customer experience.
Uniphore and Tech Mahindra work together to drive measurable and sustainable improvement in customer satisfaction and loyalty. The partners offer solutions that automate journeys such as bill paying, service inquiries, and upgrades, while improving the customer experience. These solutions also automate after-call work for high-value journeys, such as opening new accounts, to shorten average handle time and call wait times.
Jafar H. Syed and Saurabh Rai on the Value of Conversational Automation
During the podcast, Jafar H. Syed, SVP, Global Head of Channel, Alliances & Partnerships at Uniphore, and Saurabh Rai, Global Head Analytics & Strategic Initiatives at Tech Mahindra Business Process Services, explore the quantifiable and experiential benefits of conversational automation. As Saurabh explains, “We are seeing the actual value is delivering very fast control checks…using smart search, identifying hot points, automating compliance, etc. Another big thing that came out was improving the overall customer experience by understanding sentiment and providing a holistic view of call quality….Instead of doing random audits, we are able to do audits on 100% of the calls now.”
Conversational automation doesn’t require complex coding, empowering agents and supervisors to create automation workflows when needed. Jafar states, “The platform is trying to create anything and everything that is needed for automation in the conversation space. The idea is to train people to, by the click of the button, bring automation to organization.”
Automation can flatten the learning curve for a complex task, such as credit card processing, which might take 60 to 90 days to train for. You can give the agent the same knowledge as the ones who have been taking the calls for 1 or 2 years and make the agent’s life as simple as possible.
The unified platform reduces the time a call takes by using tone of voice and sentiment to verify the customer. Jafar notes that “There’s a lot of minutes invested in trying to figure out where the answers might be, or what the question might be. Those awkward silences. If you break every call up like a loaf of bread and cut it in different slices, that is an opportunity to shrink the amount of time which is invested…you reduce it by almost 50-70%.”
