Ties-up with Siemens Enterprise Communications to launch MIVRA- 'MetLife Integrated Voice Response Application'

MetLife India Insurance Company Limited (MetLife), one of the fastest growing Life Insurance companies in India (YoY), today announced the launch of MIVRA – MetLife Integrated Voice Response Application, an Advanced Telephony System that combines the cutting edge attributes of technology with the human resources. MIVRA was specially designed to expand the access opportunities to more customers, raise the efficiency bar of the service levels provided and at the same time reduce costs for the organization. With this, MetLife will have a 24/7 perspective on the customer requirements, which will further help improve customer responsiveness.

Speaking about this initiative, Mr. Rajesh Relan, Managing Director, MetLife, said "Customer centricity is a key differentiator in this competitive business environment."

"This can be achieved through better responsiveness to the customer's needs. MetLife is committed to enhancing the customer experience at every touch point," he added.

    Speaking about the new technology, Peter Gartenberg, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Siemens APAC Region, said, "This sort of a contact centre is amongst the first few deployments in the insurance sector in India allowing the customers fast and easy access to information around the clock. The built-in analytic model uses actual data trends to predict patterns and contact volumes in real-time, thus ensuring the caller has a rich user experience each and every time he/she calls up MetLife for information."

    The menu map of MIVRA has been designed to keep the interface simple and easy to understand. The Siemens solution encompasses the latest HiPath 3800 and the HiPath ProCentre Contact Centre solution. The solution can expand allowing users to dial in through a multi media interface and allows access from telephone and e-mail. The HiPath ProCenter offers unique presence and collaboration tools. These tools dramatically increase 'first contact' resolution rate. The built-in analytic model uses actual data trends to predict patterns and contact volumes in real-time, improving decision making regarding contact routing and staffing resources thus ensuring a rich user experience each and every time the customer calls into MetLife for assistance.
