Evergy Incorporates Start-Service Functionality into IVA
In March 2023, Evergy began enabling customers to start or move service via its Interactive Voice Assistant (IVA) channel. Join this session to learn how Evergy’s scalable IVA allows customers to self-serve even in times of high volume, facilitating more than 40,000 start service transactions in the first year of operation.
