Interactive Voice Response Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 1

Getting started

About this guide

This guide leads a system administrator through installing and configuring the Interactive Voice

Response (IVR) application on an Avaya Business Communications Manager (Avaya BCM)

system.

IVR is an automated telephony application that prompts callers with a combination of recorded

menus and prompts, and provides callers with real-time data from databases. Users enter digits

from their touchtone keypad that direct the IVR application to access databases and play

information back to the caller.

IVR is a call-handling system that allows employees to perform their jobs, and agents to make

sales, rather than answer frequently asked questions. IVR can distribute calls, make

announcements, and give callers access to relevant information from dynamic databases 24 hours a

day, 7 days a week. This chapter contains:
