Project Description:
The IVR system is accessible to all BSC constituents namely
Providers, Producers and Members. It is assumed that producers using the
system are appointed producers unless specifically called out. Members can
directly use the system to check on the status of their records or can
access the records of other members once they have provided enough
information to authorize access. Providers are given the option of
providing their Tax Identification (TIN) or National Provider
Identification Number (NPI) but can proceed to access self-service
functionality on the member they are calling about if the appropriate
member identification information is provided. Medicare data is also
accessible over the IVR. There is an implicit separation of Medicare
members and commercial members and between Medicare providers and
commercial providers

Project Description:
HSI is the main trouble ticket entry and customer records
lookup application for the DSL Repair CallHandling Center (RCHC) and
Broadband RCHC, and for the Enhanced Service Center (ESC) for voice-mail
services on the Next Generation Mail Platform. The Qwest Repair Portal
Service is called by the IVR(Interactive Voice Response) to determine
customer service information, product information, modem diagnostic and
health check, any known outages, any open trouble tickets that may affect
the customer. It is used by Tier 1 screening agents in both internal Qwest
call centers and in outsourced call centers to track the important details
of a trouble call and to assist the agents in gathering information from
various backend legacy systems. Some of the major backend systems which Rx
integrates are WFA/C and WFADO (Work Force Administration / Control),
Clarify, TMS (Ticket Management System), Poll DSLAM, SOM (Service Order
Manager), SAFE Information Access (SIA) BOSS/CARS information, LOSDB
(Location Operational Shared Database), MSN/DSL Workflow, ACP, and OAS. Rx
will continue to grow in responsibility (per plan) as the months go by, so
the list of integration points will continue to grow

Project Description:
Speech Recognition enables customers to call one of the Qwest
customer support toll-free numbers and use voice rather than touch-tone to
route their calls to the appropriate support group. The Call Handling
Speech application (also known as Speech Recognition IVR) is currently
deployed for Consumer and Small Business (SBG) customers for Sales, Care
and Collections. Release 1.0 consisted of a front facing "Say anything
Application" for Consumer Markets where a customer will be greeted and
asked how we may help them. Based upon the customer's response, the
application will either ask subsequent questions to refine the need, or
direct the customer to another self-help application, or route the customer
into the call center. The four business transactions migrated to Speech
were: . DSL Option . Credit Card Payment Option . Electronic Funds Transfer
. Pending Order Status Release 2.0 adds in SBG main call router and
enhanced functionality to include the following business transactions for
both Consumer and SBG: . Obtain full payment with Credit Card Payment
Options/Electronic Funds Transfer on disconnect notice . Restore process
for SNP'd (suspended for non payment) customers, if paid in full (Consumer
only) . Report a payment . Product & Feature instructions . Payment
Locations . Billing Explanation - high level . Map Entered Telephone Number
to Billing Telephone Number . Agent Locator (Small Business only), Wireless
Minutes of Use (Small Business only) The main router experience helps to
identify why callers are contacting Qwest so that they can be routed to the
appropriate call center for their inquiry. The self help functions allow
customers to complete their stated purpose via the IVR, but use of customer
data collection and validation through Legacy system access for data
retrieval. Program identifies Verizon/Sprint Wireless customers and we are
providing different flows for the within the same speech system

Qwest: CallHandling-IVR (Touch Tone)
Environment : Windows 2000, Windows XP, .Net, Test Complete, XML,
InterVoice, VRU, MTC(Media telephony Core), TTS(Text To
Speech), SQL Server 2000, IIS
Duration : Aug 2005 - July 2009
Role : Test Lead.
Organization : Qwest
Client : Qwest.
Team Size : 10
Tools : HP Quality Center, MS Project, VISIO, MS Office, Dimension,
caliber, LMOS, Hammer Call Analyzer, WFADO, WFAC
Project Description:
When Qwest customers, or potential customers, call into one of the
Qwest Call centers, the IVR script answers the telephone, collects data
related to the call and then allows the customer to either choose to
process transactions in a "self help" fashion or have human intervention.
When a customer uses the "self help" menu, they are able to order copies of
their bill, check their bill balance, pay their bill, arrange payments,
report trouble on their line, check the status of a service order, and
perform many other transactions without the assistance of a service
representative. When a service representative is requested, or required by
the system, the IVR routes the caller to the call center that will able to
handle the call in an efficient manner. The IVR uses web services to
determine workflow, check customer account activity, check status of
service orders, create trouble tickets, and transfer customers to the
appropriate agent based on rules defined in the Front End Screen and Route
(FESR) system. IVR applications are being installed and supported as new
InterVoice software on all in-region IVR production clusters. Part of the
installation and support is also for new Web Services. These web services
are to be maintained on the dotnet1 web farm. Both IVR and web services
software contain alarms.
Some of the Projects using this service: Consumer Repair (Residential
Customers), Business Repair, Voice Messaging, HSI (High Speed Internet),
Wireless Minutes used, Self-help router, Credit card payment, Electronic
Fund Transfer, Priority Queue Router, Agent Locator, Payment Arrangements,
Pending Order, Payment Locations, HotLined, Bill Balance, Alternate Service
Provider, Consumer Collections, Business Collections, Wireless, Spanish
Customers, Trouble Ticket, Pending Trouble ticket, Transfers
