About this guide
This guide leads a system administrator through installing and configuring the Interactive Voice
Response (IVR) application on a Business Communications Manager (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:
