Interactions Receives 2014 CUSTOMER Contact Center Technology Award

BOSTON, Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Interactions Corporation, the leading provider of advanced conversational virtual assistant solutions for customer care, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has chosen Interactions' conversational solutions as a 2014 CUSTOMER Contact Center Technology Award winner.

"Our mission is to turn frustrating experiences into productive conversations, and we're thrilled to be recognized for our impact within the contact center industry. For the last 10 years, we've been focused on building solutions that allow people to communicate as naturally with technology as they do with other people," said Mike Iacobucci, CEO of Interactions. "TMC's recognition of our efforts is a huge honor." 

Interactions works closely with platinum brands such as Hyatt, Humana, and LifeLock to help them more effectively interact with their customers.  Virtual assistant solutions foster conversations that directly model a dialogue with a live agent to boost call containment and raise CSAT ratings. This dramatic improvement in customer experience and operational efficiencies leads to a quick and substantial ROI for Interactions Fortune 500 customers. Just prior to receiving this award, Interactions announced a major initiative to deliver the same accurate, conversational experience to connected homes, smart automobiles and wearable technology in what Interactions calls the "Interface of Things." This new wave of speech, touch and text interfaces with unprecedented accuracy will be powered by Interactions' pending acquisition of the AT&T Watson technology program.

"Interactions Corporation's line of conversational solutions illustrates the power of a new generation of solutions to offer a better customer care experience for callers while fostering greater efficiency, productivity and job satisfaction for the CSRs," said Dan Miller, senior analyst and founder of Opus Research.

"Congratulations to Interactions for being granted a 2014 CUSTOMER Contact Center Technology Award. Interactions' conversational solutions have been selected for demonstrating innovation, quality and unique features which have had a positive impact on the customer experience," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "We're pleased to recognize this achievement."
