Automated call surveys are processing using IVR (Interactive Voice Response) technology. Database Systems Corp. (DSC) has been developing computer related technology products since 1978. These products are specific to the call center and telecommunications industry and DSC specializes in call center phone systems and services.

Our outbound IVR phone systems contact call survey prospects and play an introductory message. The potential call survey respondent is given several options to select from using an IVR prompting system. One of the options is to take this telephone survey. Others may include the option to leave a voice message or talk with one of your representatives. Finally the respondent is given an option to simply decline to participate in the phone survey.

The telephone survey can accept touch phone response or can record each question response for later analysis

What Is IVR Technology?

"Interactive voice response, or IVR, is an automated phone system and software that allows an individual to conduct transactions by phone without the assistance of a live operator. Typically a individual caller will interact with an IVR by making selections from voice menus. The menu selections are made using touch phone keypad entries or by speaking words or phrases into the phone. This interaction allows the individual to conduct transactions with the phone system as well as the computer system which is linked with phone.

The phone system plays pre-recorded voice prompts and the person typically presses a number on a telephone keypad to select the option associated with the voice prompt."

The phone survey can be programmed to accept phone keypad responses or can simply record each question response for later transcription and analysis.
