How Well Equipped Are Enterprises Today To Harness Conversational Data Sets?

How Well Equipped Are Enterprises Today To Harness Conversational Data Sets?

Data is what runs an enterprise. If you don’t believe it, just take a look at your business financials. But we’ve come a long way from just analysing revenue and spend. There’s now the opportunity – and business imperative – to look at all business data. And what greater goldmine of information than the conversations within your business, with your partners, with your customers, and with the public?


“Data Masters enjoy 22% higher profitability, 70% higher revenue per employee, and 245% higher fixed asset turnover over their peers”

– Data Mastery, Capgemini.

Turning conversations into meaningful business data is the first hurdle. Leveraging that data is the next. Here are the common challenges faced by enterprises in harnessing the power of conversational data sets.

 

Challenge: Legacy technologies have fragmented datasets 

“80% of data producers and consumers regularly have data quality issues.”
– The State of Data Quality in 2021, Datafold.

Data is locked in legacy systems and often incomplete

Organisations have been using legacy, on-site and even manual technologies to record, store, transcribe and annotate voice conversations. With these solutions, archives may be limited and the data itself limited (e.g. only sound files stored, manual and incomplete data tags).

Data is usually fragmented across multiple channels/systems

Legacy systems generally only capture one channel at a time, which is no longer useful when considering that we now operate across call centres, Zoom, mobile, and more. There may be a number of different systems across different channels, each with its own data, views, and storage formats. This siloed effect means conversational data is fragmented.

Solution: Unified Conversational Recording technology

Bringing together conversational data in a centralised location across all the different channels is imperative – where it can live as one standard dataset. While some channels may lack particular data points (e.g. voice calls won’t have a video recording), the data across channels and services will be standardised. This data needs to be instantly portable so that it can be used in other business applications.

 

Challenge: Lots of data is required for AI to be accurate (maybe more than you have)

“There is a difficulty of obtaining data sets that are sufficiently large and comprehensive to be used for training.”
– Driving impact at scale from automation and AI, McKinsey

Industry-specific (e.g. Financial Services regulation) or domain-specific (e.g. Sales) context and dialects

Industry, domain and company-specific context and dialects aren’t always understood immediately by AI – it needs the right metadata, direction and training. For example, in Australia’s new internal dispute resolution regulatory guide for financial services businesses – ‘RG 271’ – the directive is that these businesses need to acknowledge complaints and respond within given timeframes. But what does a complaint necessarily look like in a conversation? Is it the word ‘complaint’, an angry tone of voice, or a specific utterance? Are there cultural conversational identifiers that indicate a complaint?

Solution: Capture everything, using NLP to learn your business language

Using NLP to do a deep dive into your conversational data is the only way to be able to address these type of specific business needs. Being able to acutely examine tone, sentiment, and regional differences is the key to actually understanding your employees and customer base. Without conversational metadata and NLP in circumstances like this, you’ll be left in the dark. Once you have all the right data, AI can do its job properly.

 

Challenge: Leveraging the cloud to reduce time to value

“The hybrid cloud platform can deliver value to the business by enabling digital transformation, giving it the best from the public cloud and on-premises infrastructure services, and transcending the corporate boundary.”
– The Business Benefits of a Hybrid Cloud Platform, DXC.technology

Some large organisations are still in the early stages of their cloud strategy implementation, and may still be working out or piloting solutions to find the best-fit and economics for their hybrid model. This complexity and legacy infrastructure limits the pace at which the organisation can change.

Solution: Look to cloud-native solutions that can integrate with legacy infrastructure

No matter where you are in your cloud maturity across the enterprise, what you can do is ensure new enterprise solutions like Conversational Intelligence are themselves cloud-native by design with the ability to integrate with your existing legacy solutions. While other cloud migration activities may take time, you can benefit from new cloud-native solutions immediately.

 

Challenge: Innovating with the data  

“Accompanying any technological shift is a change in tools, processes, and equally as important, people and behaviour. Even with the most cutting-edge technology and well-documented processes, users need to feel empowered to adopt modern BI solutions, as they are the ones who will drive insight-driven decision making.
– Modern Business Intelligence, Deloitte.

Many enterprises are still focused on creating data assets – which is great, but doesn’t create value in and of itself

Yes, getting quality, complete, clean datasets is a significant priority. But alone, this data is only useful to data workers – who need directives and business questions from leadership, departments, and individuals to make sense of the data.

Solution: Develop strategic plans for what to do with the data

Make a start building the business capabilities to leverage data

Leveraging business data is where leaders in business are streaking ahead. This equates to data workers, data-ingesting applications and strategic plans and roadmaps for analysis, reporting, and automation of business data. Learning how to use data effectively is the first step.

Ultimately, organisations want to empower every employee to be able to use data insights to drive efficiencies and answer relevant complex business questions in their work.

Equally important is changing culture and ways of working

Data and insights are historically hidden in organisations, only accessed by managers or disclosed quarterly. Data capture activities have been mysterious. By opening up the visibility of capture and useful real-time insights to a wider audience, we’re able to change the culture within the organisation to feel empowered by, and trust, business data.

This trust component also underpins technology program rollouts. Workflows and automations built on business data need to be used to have effect. When leadership falters on directives and messaging, employees default to known processes. While hesitancy in revolutionary technology is natural, the business benefits you’ll gain can’t be disrupted by a 2010 mindset.

 

Are enterprises today ready to harness the power of conversational data sets?

Technology-forward businesses have made great strides in leveraging conversational data sets, but for the rest, there is still foundational work to be done. Picking the right technologies, using the right data, and – most importantly – knowing how to put that data to work is the path to success.

 

6 Ways to Improve Sales with Voice Intelligence

6 Ways to Improve Sales with Voice Intelligence

The use of artificial intelligence in sales has been increasing in popularity as it facilitates customer service or sales professionals to concentrate on more important work, as machines do the ‘busy work’.

While AI promises to do much to boost sales productivity and effectiveness, most are still in the earliest stages of realising its benefits According to The AI Dossier survey 2021, 74% of businesses are still in the AI experimentation stage and only 26% of businesses focus on deploying high impact AI use cases at scale.

Here are six ways to improve your sales outcomes using a conversational intelligence service – like Dubber – to analyse and action call, chat and video conversations. And implement successful strategies to improving retention, training, and customer experience.

 

What is voice intelligence?

Voice intelligence uses artificial intelligence (AI), in the shape of machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and real-time speech recognition to analyse calls, and digital conversations.

Dubber’s voice intelligence comes in the form of a specialised Unified Conversational Recording platform. Dubber’s UCR enables organisations to be more efficient in the management of their day to day communications and learn more from customer conversations. From automating note-taking to detecting customer sentiment, conversational intelligence is ending not knowing in businesses of every kind.

 

1. Don’t miss a conversation

As we say at Dubber: record, replay and reveal.

Having a solid foundation for Unified Conversational Recording (UCR) is essential for capturing, storing, and centralising your customer sales interactions.

Recording every voice, video, text, and chat across any communication device and end-point is where your sales will see an improvement. This enables you to catch sales conversations and turn them into actionable insights – seeing where you can drive an increase in revenue and retention.

Conversational Intelligence and UCR are two quintessential pieces in capturing recordings. These conversations are where 80% of the most crucial conversations with customers and employees occur.

 

2. Get the full picture with intelligent transcription and search

By complimenting Dubber’s advanced AI and natural language processing with multi-vendor AI technologies – live transcriptions can help seal the deal in your team’s sales conversations.

Here’s how the sales team and managers use Dubber’s live transcriptions:

  • Always have context as to the previous conversation
  • Understand the customer — know their requests, interests or boundaries
  • Verify orders and T&Cs — key to effectively resolving future issues and disputes
  • Note important details — stay focused and save time with the notes automagically connected to your CRM platform
  • Use transcriptions to coach and train staff
  • Monitor advice provided in line with compliance regulations

Take advantage of our advanced features to automatically detect the dominant language spoken.

Let’s say: A customer mentions she previously spoke to an employee about a different plan but can’t remember which plan it was. Easily search transcripts to find precisely which plan your employee suggested- without wasting any time.

 

3. Learn more about customer and employee sentiments

Sometimes we can have a hard time reading people’s emotions- especially when you’re not face-to-face.

With Dubber’s AI sentiment insight, you can now know what your team and customers are saying, feeling and needing. This is a distinct advantage to the growth of your sales as the tone analysis helps sales reps provide a consistent and compliant delivery. Boosting satisfaction and customer experience increases the chances of consumers making another purchase by 89%.

Dubber AI sentiment analytics combined with machine learning and NLP to save you time conducting employee call evaluations.

It analyses the spoken words in conversations by:

  • Categorising them as positive, neutral, or negative
  • Labelling calls against seven emotions
  • Identifying the dominant language spoken

Let’s say: You have a new employee and they are trying to push a sale but are coming across as abrasive to the customer. The customer is frustrated and angry but you can use this information to help the sales rep work on their communication skills.

 

4. Search, filter and find across all conversations in real-time

Frantically searching for that customer interaction transcript from a week ago? Look no further than quick, elastic and instant search within Dubber.

Save stress and time with instant search results from real-time recordings by team members or customers. Dubber extracts information and insights from the conversation and categorises and organises the context.

You can apply the filter on the search function to specify:

  • Team member
  • Day/Time
  • Keywords
  • Tags
  • Phone number

Show that you’re attentive to detail. Utilise quick cross-referencing on the go, verify accounts, or see what type of service, plan or products the customer is currently using. You’ll avoid chasing tails and save the customer from having the same conversation.

Let’s say: David is the best sales rep in your team. When training a new employee, you can filter and search all, or some of David’s calls for training and coaching purposes.

 

5. Get notified and stay on top of monitoring conversations

Sometimes we can find mistakes or red flags a little too late with legacy call recording, resulting in a loss.

Rest assured with Dubber’s real-time alerts and notifications you’ll stay ahead and be ready to diffuse situations when specific words and phrases are triggered.

You’ll be able to:

  • Create notifications from a negative sentiment
  • Alert on critical sales terms e.g “Not interested”
  • Alert immediately or at the end-of-day summary

Utilise these options to get a leg up on your competitors – create an immutable record of best interests efforts by gaining insight from prospective customers and what your opponents may be offering. As well as trends emerging, or if a sales script just isn’t resonating with customers- you’ll know.

Let’s say: You’ve set an alert every time a customer says “not comfortable” and identify that many of the instances refer to when a customer says “not comfortable with sharing those details over the phone”. You can work out that this might be a common concern and highlight PCI compliance and security measures in marketing messaging.

 

6. Offer safe and easy payment options  

People are more aware and definitely more sceptical of giving out personal information these days. As your sales conversations travel into confidential territory, you could be at risk of losing revenue if customers are reluctant to give out sensitive information via phone or video.

But here’s where you get the upper hand — Dubber’s PCI DSS solutions have enabled billions of dollars over phone payments globally. All data is encrypted and stored within the produced region, guaranteeing data compliance.

Encourage your team to communicate to the clients that:

Dubber’s Voice intelligence assures you that the PCI solutions hosts secure payment platforms that intercept any card data from entering your contact centre environment – basically bulletproof!

Let’s say: You’re speaking to a customer and they wish to pay a bill over the phone using a credit or debit card. Rather than asking them to read aloud their details, they type in their payment card details using their telephone keypad with a PCI compliant voice intelligence solution.

 

Improve sales while ensuring internal company policy compliance

With Gartner estimating that remote workers will represent 32% of all employees worldwide by the end of 2021, keeping conversations compliant can be very hard to oversee. But with Dubber, you have effortless yet total visibility of all your team’s conversations all in one place.

Managers use voice intelligence to ensure the team adheres to internal policies and collects data from customer insights that can be used to their advantage. This will drive team and sales performance to new lengths. Managers use voice intelligence as a tool:

  • Save time monitoring and reviewing calls
  • Enable teams to meet sales targets
  • Manage and store conversations from teams

Let’s say: Your manager is reviewing your conversation with a customer and they identify a missed opportunity for you to make a sale. They playback said instance to you and utilise for coaching.

One of the most exciting and significant advancements of AI in sales is the development of voice intelligence. As you can see, voice intelligence and UCR software offer teams, managers, and organisations the upper hand. Hopefully, you’ll get some good ideas from this and pick up on some critical features of Dubber’s voice intelligence and apply them to your business.

Look forward to knowing your customers and expediting sales!

 

Essential Guide to RG 271

Essential Guide to RG 271

How unified call recording and voice AI can help you comply with certainty

From October 5 new regulations will cover how financial service companies handle complaints.
Regulatory Guide 271 lays out what companies need to do. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is in charge of the reforms. It’s guide is an updated set of obligations for internal dispute resolution (IDR) and replaces the existing RG 165.
In this paper we’ll further explore what the regulations mean for financial services firms and how new unified call recording and voice AI technologies can help you comply quickly and cost-effectively.

 

Meet Our New CTO: Steve Willson

Meet Our New CTO: Steve Willson

There’s a new Chief Technology Officer at Dubber! Introducing Steve Willson.

Fresh from his time as CTO of Great Southern Bank, Australia’s largest customer-owned bank, Steve Willson has joined Dubber to guide our industry-leading technology and key technical relationships.

With a long list of executive tech roles at some of Australia’s largest financial institutions, plus time in London fintechs, Willson strengthens Dubber’s position as a key player in conversational intelligence for every government and business.

 

The value in Dubber

Willson speaks about why he chose Dubber as his next move.

“I was attracted to the massive potential of Dubber’s technology to create value for clients globally. Recording is really just the tip of the iceberg; the greater opportunity is to leverage the data to help clients improve their businesses and customer experience.”

“As I see it, there are four key value levers businesses need to focus on moving forward from a technology perspective, and that Dubber already does across voice conversations: 

  • Radical improvements in productivity eliminating what I call busy work, which is preventing employees/business owners/agents from focusing on value-creating activities.
  • Greater control, visibility and transparency – whether that be capturing knowledge, decisions or evidencing compliance.
  • Differentiated products and experiences for your customers.
  • Unification of conversational data so that it can be leveraged to provide insights and inform decisions”

 

The impact of Covid on technology as an accelerant

While Covid has caused significant hurdles for business and government worldwide, it has also rapidly accelerated digital transformation.

“At a macro level, I think that COVID has accelerated digital disruption rather than changed it, it has necessitated increased take-up of digital products and services and customers’ expectations of digital experiences are higher than ever. 

Similarly, employees now expect (and need) advanced technology that makes it easy to work from anywhere.”

“This has created a push to many large (and usually slow) organisations to do things differently, such as responding to technical challenges in days, not weeks or months. It has also provided the means for businesses to break through cultural barriers that have prevented greater take up of these technologies in the past.”

“In the new normal – if we can call it that – ‘work’ is being done anywhere. This makes sharing, collaboration, productivity and clarity of conversations more than ever, with an office-home-remote hybrid work model likely for most businesses.”

“Dubber is – I think – a critical technology in underpinning our new way of working.”

 

End not knowing

“AI, NLP, machine learning and a raft of technologies are central to ending not knowing in every business and government. As data grows exponentially it’s not plausible or possible for humans to see the signals in the noise. Applying AI to unified data sets is going to be a crucial building block for the success of any enterprise activity – whether it’s knowing your customers and employees, complying, or improving the accuracy of supply chains.”

“The way Dubber is doing this is impressive, from disrupting the high-cost, siloed world or legacy call recording to harnessing its own AI advances alongside those of leaders like IBM, Amazon and others.”

“I’m passionate about the tech sector and have supported many fintech partnerships in my enterprise executive roles, so I’m excited about the opportunity to play a more active role in the Aussie and global tech community with Dubber. Joining what is the clear leader not just here, but also globally, is incredibly exciting.”

We’re excited to have Steve onboard.

 

Answering the AML & KYC Challenge with Conversational AI

3 Actions Compliance Leaders Must Take

For many, the rapid acceleration of digital transformation has made already challenging regulatory complexity even more difficult. New ways of communicating and ever-increasing digital transactions generate even greater data sets requiring surveillance and compliance monitoring.

Against this backdrop, compliance and surveillance leaders face a more familiar set of challenges – unravelling regulations, reducing costs and driving productivity. The answer – in part – doesn’t lay in yet another set of tools or applications but rather in establishing more robust data sets on which artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing can surface new levels of intelligence.

Conversation data is not just necessary – in many cases, it’s a regulatory requirement.

 

The role of AI and Machine Learning

Instead of relying on human analysis of trends to try and spot aberrant behaviours, true AI solutions are needed to create proactive signals of risk – and accelerate time to data and insights.

33% of financial institutions are increasing their AI capability over the past year, and 57% deployed, piloting, or planning to deploy AI & Machine Learning solutions for AML over the next 12-18 months.

Underpinning this is a shift from surfacing insights based on what happened to using behavioural insights to understand what might happen next. As workforces have become dislocated from the workplace, managerial insight based on day-to-day interactions has become more difficult. Conversational intelligence can signal behavioral shifts enabling managers to engage, coach and guide employees to the right practices.

Today, knowing your employee is as important and knowing your customer.

 

Modernising GRC: 3 actions compliance leaders must take

1. Record every conversation, across all channels

It’s not enough to just record conversations on one application, when interactions between employees and customers are occurring across call centres, mobile, and chat.

What is required today is a single window into all conversations – a Unified Conversational Recording platform and, if you want it to scale without barriers, it needs to live in the cloud – all compliantly, with inbuilt data security.

For example, Don Anderson, chief information officer (CIO) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, noted in 2019 that ignoring the cloud may even “introduce new security vulnerabilities as on-premises vendors discontinue support for their products.”

How you record is as important as what you record. Creating a comprehensive data set with rich conversational recordset to satisfy KYC and AML also has to be done in a way that satisfies GDRP and PCI.

2. Replay instantly when non-compliant calls come through

Can you capture non-compliance as it happens? With triggers on sentiment like an angry customer, or an alert that goes off when a representative mentions the word ‘cash’, you can quickly head off incidents before they escalate or wind up getting buried in an avalanche of data. This type of natural language processing is essential in modern compliance operations, where you are expected to be able to respond in real-time.

3. Reveal insights across the organisation

While every conversation has the potential to be powerful, or non-compliant – or hopefully just helpful and archivable – being able to glean not just individual Conversational Intelligence insights, but cumulative insights on this data will give key indicators on your organisational health.

For instance, you’ll be able to tell whether departments are sticking to their scripts. Whether staff are spending too long on certain topics that could be addressed by a knowledge base. If certain staff are bringing up topics again and again that seem out of the ordinary. There are infinite possibilities to mine the data for both proactive compliance and operational efficiency.

 

Beyond Compliance

Compliance and surveillance data sets are amongst the most trusted in any business – but they also can alleviate the pain felt across financial institutions.

KYC procedures are also straining relationships with customers; for instance, the time taken to bring a new client on board continues to increase. And employees are challenged to receive the same level of guidance, coaching and training that was once part of their daily interactions in the workplace.

Conversational data – recordings, insights and workflow automation provide a much needed answer for both. The big opportunity and key benefit is data quality, with multiple conversational sources contributing to a single, secure and compliant system of record.

At a time when risk management leaders are being asked to process greater amounts of data in shorter amounts of time—often amid budget and staff constraints—cloud computing could unlock considerable benefits. It can help risk teams react rapidly to changes in the external environment and dive deeper into the analytics life cycle to better understand the drivers of risk, all without major capital expenditures.” – Mckinsey

Dubber’s Compliance Editions put compliance teams in front of the right content, data insights, and actions for conversations across the entire organisation.

Virtual oversight can help with new internal dispute resolution RG 271 requirements

Virtual oversight can help finance companies preparing for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s Regulatory Guide 271 which comes into effect on October 5.

RG 271 explains what finance companies must do to create an internal dispute resolution system that ticks all the regulatory boxes. It is part of a suite of regulatory changes happening in October. Elsewhere we look at Anti-Hawking regulations.

 

What are the requirements?

DLA Piper partner Sophie Devitt says the new rules aim to see that every customer of the financial services industry is able to get “fair, timely and effective dispute resolution”. This covers consumers and small businesses.

“Part of this means capturing any expression of dissatisfaction from customers where there is a reasonable expectation that a response or resolution is expected.”.

There’s no need to trawl the internet for evidence of dissatisfaction. Yet there is an expectation that should something show up on a company’s Twitter feed or Facebook page then the company will respond to the complaint.

Likewise, if a company representative hears a verbal complaint, that also has to be acknowledged and given a response.

The company needs to let the complainer know staff have registered their grievance and will get back with a formal response. The idea is that the incoming communications channel is the best outgoing channel, so a complaint voiced on, say Facebook will get a notification on Facebook.

Devitt says dealing with disputes can get challenging with the required timeframes and the manner in which the complaint arrives. A complaint has to be documented and acknowledged within 24 hours, and in most cases, a substantive response is needed in 30 days. This can be challenging when complaints are received by staff who are not sitting behind desks, say, an insurance assessor working in the field.

 

Demonstrate compliance

Devitt says the industry has had more than 12 months to prepare. Which means by now their plans are likely to be well advanced.

She says; “They need to think about how they can meet their obligations. It means putting the right structures in place, setting up internal processes and deciding on the frequency of reviewing the processes. There is a reporting requirement.”

“You have to demonstrate to the regulator through your reporting and data collection how you are going to comply. Producing the data is now a significant element of compliance.’

 

Speed and clarity is the essence

The key is getting the complaint into the system as fast as possible, wherever it comes from. And then making sure the key people are alerted immediately.

Data collection is essential. Companies need to classify complaints for later analysis to help identify problem areas, it could be the customer service department or the nature of transactions.

‘Expression of dissatisfaction’ is a broad term. Devitt says lawyers are working with clients on how to do this; a good starting place would be to look at customer expectations and whether they are being met. This can also mean work for companies on setting those expectations.

 

Call recording, AI – a digital backstop

All of this puts obligations on teams to monitor every customer interaction across every channel. Virtual oversight is using unified call recording and AI technology to provide an extra layer of support to teams looking for potential complaints.

There’s always a possibility companies will miss ‘expressions of dissatisfaction, especially during conversations. For companies using modern call recording technologies, AI has the potential to scan calls looking for, say, a tone of voice or keywords. It can then point out potential problems.

Unified call recording and AI technologies can also automatically alert the right people when a customer is unhappy. It can feed that data into existing IDR processes and workflows to ensure fast responses. Conversational data can also be integrated into reporting data sets – vital to meet ASIC’s expectations on data.

Sophie Devitt is a partner with DLA Piper. She works from the global law firm’s Brisbane office and specializes in insurance regulatory law, which has wider application across the entire finance sector.

Now record video on Webex Meetings

Now record video on Webex Meetings

Record, replay, reveal AI-enriched insights. Buy now and get the first six months of video recording on us!

We recently announced our global first Foundation Partnership with Cisco, which saw Dubber personal and confidential cloud call recording embedded as a standard feature for Cisco Webex Calling and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Cloud (UCM).

As of today, you’ll be able to compliantly capture video conversations on Webex Meetings. You’re now able to record, replay and reveal insights from every crucial business conversation across voice and video calls.

 

Comply & end not knowing

How often have you had a team or customer meeting and wished you could go back and review key points? Or share it with your team for coaching or training? That’s one use case for recording video.

Clearly, nobody is going to do this all the time so having real-time search and scalable storage is critical.

But what if that same content sent you signals – alerts and notifications when key phrases or words were used? Instantly managers would know they needed to dive into a conversation and check what was being said. Compliance leaders would have instant visibility to the businesses compliance standing and evidence requirements were being met. HR managers could easily check in on issues and get instant employee sentiment data.

Dubber makes all of this possible for the first time with nearly endless use cases. In simple terms, this means everyone in the business benefits. Take customer dispute resolution. Now with an instantly available record of the conversation, it’s easy to know what was said. And with Dubber you’ll be able to see phone calls, video and more in one place.

 

You need more than a basic recorder

The alternative is basic personal call recording solutions sometimes included with applications. These solutions are limited in capturing, authorising, managing, and facilitating compliant call recording. And they don’t enable all your calls – including those outside of Cisco Webex, to be recorded, replayed and analysed in one place.

Dubber delivers meaningful transcriptions, analytics, legal hold, and intelligent keyword search, saving time on investigations, discovery, as well as prompting actionable intelligence, effectively designed to solve business-critical outcomes.

We already see substantial early demand around video dominant use cases like telehealth, video-based customer support services, HR, recruiting, and live event streaming.

 

What’s included in Dubber on Webex Meetings?

For an add-on price of $25 (USD) per user/month, the Dubber platform now enables capturing every video conversation stored in the Voice Intelligence Cloud. The Video add-on pack comes with 100GB storage as standard for each user. In addition, for power users who need augmented storage, businesses can purchase the Video Storage add-on, which comes in 1TB packs for only $100 (USD) per account/month.

 

The first six months of video recording on us!

For a limited time, all Webex Meetings Dubber Premier subscription plans will get the video add-on pack free for 6months with every 12-month subscription! Easily capture video recordings and data revealing instant insights, analytics, transcriptions, sentiment and tone analysis, with all Dubber’s platform capabilities unleashed.

End not knowing what was said with Automatic Language Detection

End not knowing what was said with Automatic Language Detection

Your customers, suppliers, partners and people can be and are often dispersed across countries, time zones, markets and currencies.

At Dubber, we’re acutely aware of this, operating globally, working with businesses of all sizes across 50+ countries. We serve a plethora of product markets ranging from multinational FSI customers to local veterinarian groups.

After listening to the needs of our diverse customers, a common challenge emerged. How do we solve the problem of multiple languages being spoken on a call recording?

The value of solving this pain point is the difference between success or failure because the difference between a churning customer or an upgrading one can be seconds. According to a 2020 report U.S. companies lose $136.8 billion per year due to avoidable consumer switching (Forrester).

Enabling automatic language detection

Today, we’re launching another first – Dubber Automatic Language Detection!

Automatic language detection automagically verifies, recognises, and validates the primary speaker in the recorded call and effectively resolves the dominant language spoken to the Dubber Voice-AI dynamically.

This means transcriptions, sentiment, tone and alerts align to the detected language – and are then dynamically updated within the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud to appear in your Dubber portal and app instantly after the call.

Try it now!

Automatic language detection is empowering one of our customers operating in the global financial markets to dramatically improve their customer and people experiences and meet compliance mandates. Across 13 different spoken languages, their people now focus on driving value from engagements aligned to their customers desired spoken language.

How to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace?

How to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace?

Practical strategies and steps from the MS – Dubber webinar

Is the hybrid workplace here to stay? How do you meet post-pandemic demands for regaining compliance? And what role does technology play in enabling hybrid work flexibility, improving productivity and lifting CX and EX, all while minimizing risk?

In a recent webinar, Leon Wright, Microsoft’s Advanced Workloads Lead in Australia, together with Andy Lark, Chief Marketing Officer, Dubber, outlined the new hybrid work challenges, from siloed teams – to difficulties in accessing data for compliance insights.

Drawing from the webinar, we highlighted essential strategies to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace. We summarised for you ways organisations can now leverage voice technology to lift compliance and derive critical insights from customer conversations in the hybrid workplace.

The good, the bad and the promise of the hybrid paradox

Microsoft’s Leon Wright believes Covid is just the beginning of the disruption:

“Over a year into the pandemic, digital adoption curves are accelerating and the evidence is in the data: 80% of managers expect more flexible work from home policies post-pandemic. 73% of employees want flexible remote work options to stay and 67% of employees want more remote in-person and collaboration work.”

So how do you embrace flexible workplaces and processes and thrive?

You could start by creating a new work model that prioritizes social, knowledge and human capital. And you could embrace the Employee Experience (EX) and create more listening systems.

“If Covid has taught one thing, it is that managers were not listening… We need to get those listening systems working really well. It’s about configuring those systems for your best productivity,” Leon Wright, Microsoft.

Meeting recordings is fast becoming the new content channel

Leon Wright believes meeting recordings is going to be one of the fastest growing content types at Microsoft. “Recording has become the new champion of knowledge management. It’s a vital tool for continuous learning about customers and employees in a hybrid workplace. It’s not only the employee expectations that fundamentally changed; customer’s expectations have changed too, and we need to listen more to what they have to say.”

Organisations that embrace the seismic hybrid shift and explore ways to tune into their employees and customers may have more of a chance to succeed in this complex reality.

Are you listening? Overcoming distance in a connected world

As the workforce becomes more distant, it is more challenging to get our message across and understand correctly what’s been said between teams and customers.

There is a growing dependence on BYODs and rising use of BYOAs – Bring Your Own Applications. As a result, there is a growing difficulty to manage the Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) across multiple end-points, like mobile, messaging applications, VOIP applications, video meetings, and more. Employees are often switching between these multiple communications methods, and customers are demanding to be met where and how they communicate.

Voice is the largest untapped source of data and insights

Fortunately, cloud-based voice technologies evolved as one of the tools for managing this new complex hybrid workplace. Voice AI, in particular, is playing a vital role in improving CX, EX, compliance, and more. The ability to use AI to automate the otherwise impossible task of understanding sentiment and behavior during calls has become crucial.

“There has never been a more important time to establish a system of record… Many of us have forgotten just how many conversations are voice-based. Today more than 80% of crucial conversations are still voice and the value of that conversation ends as soon as it is over, ” Andy Lark, Dubber “If companies are not allowing compliance breaches to occur in email, they shouldn’t be happening in voice conversations.

The power of Unified Call Recording (UCR) and customer intelligence

The advantage of Dubber on video and call meeting platforms, such as MS Teams, Cisco’s Webex and Zoom, is you have all your conference calls, mobile conversations, SIP trunk connections, messaging, chat and more stored and retrieved from one secure and compliant place.

In the past, a single query, and there are hundreds of them a day, could take hours. Now you can drill down in seconds into conversation sets, pick up troubling keywords and easily review insightful transcriptions.

This impacts dispute resolution, contact centre calls tracking, employee training, sales revenue intelligence, and more.

In sum:

In this hybrid world, the upside of voice technology is the rise of new business performance, sales and productivity opportunities.

The ability to capture crucial conversations across remote and in-office environments and derive insights is paving the way to; improved employee engagement, boosted productivity, better outcomes in sales and compliance.
