In recent years, spam and fraud calls have been on the rise, eroding consumer trust of the voice call. As a result, 94% of unidentified calls go unanswered. Join this session, led by Frank Pettitnato, CEO of Avantive Solutions, as he shares use cases of enterprises using Hiya Connect to brand outbound calls and provide performance metrics to increase answer rates, drive better performance of the voice channel, improve contact center productivity, and ultimately - drive happier better customer experiences.
