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
