Enabling People and Organizations to Harness the Transformative Power of Technology

The latest innovations in speech technologies and strategies have heightened customer expectations and are transforming the role of the call center. Automated outbound calls are getting a great deal of attention for their ability to inform customers to pick up goods, reorder products, and notify customers about promotional opportunities. Outbound calls also notify citizens of location-specific news and emergencies, such as school and road closures, weather reports, and evacuation notices. However, the focus of new developments isn’t limited to one-way outbound messaging. Organizations must have the ability to listen and respond to customer wants and needs in a timely manner. Customers demand to be heard and they want organizations to respond.

Virtual Tracks: Listen to sequences of presentations devoted to specific topics, including multimodal applications, cross-channel applications, analytics, speaker identification and verification, and more across the traditional vertical conference tracks.

ATTEND THE WORLD’S LARGEST EVENT FOCUSED ON 4G AND THE MOBILE INTERNET!

Operator strategies for 4G network evolution will not be driven by technology, but by competition and market demand. As the Anywhere Network® takes hold in the mature markets of North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, operators are anticipating massive growth in broadband data usage and planning their network migration strategies and business models for monetizing mobile Internet services. 4G World offers you an opportunity to research state-of-the-practice business models and advanced mobile technologies, as well as learn from operators deploying 4G networks today about what works–and what doesn’t–as they migrate their networks to 4G.
