Home - Contact Center - The Future of VoIP Contact Centers: AI and Machine Learning Trends
Reviewed by : Prasanta Raut
Customer service is undergoing a significant transformation, all thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). VoIP contact centers, which are cost-effective alternatives to traditional phone lines, are now utilizing the power of AI and ML.
This dynamic duo is elevating business communication by automating repetitive tasks to free up human agents and offer seamless customer experiences.
Today, we’ll be discussing AI and machine learning trends in VoIP contact centers in detail. So, let’s get started!

The call center technology encompasses a wide array of tools and software solutions for call centers. It is used by sales and agents to handle incoming and outgoing conversations with clients and prospects.
The goals of these solutions are to save operating costs, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance the productivity of call center staff. Also, to make daily operations more efficient.
Call center technologies assist in the uninterrupted functioning of call centers. The tools which are used are ACD, call routing systems, and IVR to help the inbound call center teams manage high call volumes.
It also plays a critical role in rapidly and efficiently resolving customer problems. Furthermore, predictive dialing tools help the outbound call center teams convert leads and generate sales.
Some technology may not be a must for your organization, depending on its size and nature.
The key technology that modern call centers rely on is VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), which allows companies to place and receive phone calls online instead of using analog landlines.
VoIP phone systems are a great way to run a contact center. They allow you to handle incoming and outgoing calls from any part of the world, with the help of an internet connection.
VoIP technology is the new trend in call centers not only because it can provide high-quality calls through the Internet but also because it is cheaper.
Most importantly, VoIP eliminates the rush to acquire old phone networks and traditional PBX telephony technology. Moreover, calls made online lead to cost reductions for companies both internationally and nationally.
One of the most essential technologies in contact centers that mainly handle incoming calls is Automatic Call Distribution or ACD. The ACD tool divides incoming calls among the available agents, and call routing criteria have already been established.
It sends or connects customers’ calls to the right teams or departments. The fair distribution of calls among agents leads to an equal workload and thus improves the agent experience.
The call routing rules vary as each call center provider has its own rules. On the other hand, your call routing software will distribute incoming calls based on the agents’ time zones or business hours using time-based routing.
This way of working is trendy in call centers located in different time zones, where calls are made in several time zones. Another example is the skills-based routing system, which routes client calls to agents with the necessary expertise.
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is the third essential technology for inbound call centers, along with ACD and call routing. Callers can use pre-recorded audio prompts and menu options to get the information they need or the agent group or department to contact.
Real-time call center operators can no longer be manually attached or transferred, saving them time and effort. It also minimizes the chance of human error and will make the entire inbound call-handling procedure more efficient.
IVR systems help callers reach the correct destination more accurately by collecting more information from them, such as the type of issue they are dealing with or the language they prefer. This automatically improves the First Call Resolution (FCR) rates.
Also, customer satisfaction and experience are improved when problems are solved at the beginning of the engagement. And that too without the customer having to switch departments or agents. Besides that, IVR self-service menus provide access to all the necessary information so that they can deal with their issues independently.
Call queuing is the most essential technology for the call center. It allows the call center to manage incoming calls better. Similarly, customers are also satisfied when the call volumes are less than the agent’s capacity.
When there are no agents to answer the calls the moment they come in, call queuing software comes into play. It automatically distributes the number of incoming calls by assigning them to the right call queues.
Call centers that include call queue management capabilities, IVR, and call routing can better and faster handle high call volumes. Call queue callback is a unique feature of call queue management that can improve the caller experience significantly.
Callers can use the queue callback option to request a follow-up call from an agent when they reach the front of the line.
Call recording is the most common feature of call centers. It allows you to record calls both in and out of the phone automatically or on demand.
By the way, you can always listen back to the recorded conversations to make sure the call information is correct. Also to figure out the exact words that the agent and the customer used during the call. Thus it can be helpful in preventing and solving customer complaints.
The agent training sessions can be improved by using call records. You can speed up and improve the onboarding and training of your new agents by giving them examples of the best call-handling sessions.
Besides the other way around, listening to call records enables you to assess agents’ performance and find out where your call center representatives need more in-depth training and where they can improve.
Through the real-time call monitoring equipment, you can listen to the conversations between customers and agents. And, thus, keep track of what is happening.
Contact center managers and supervisors can better understand their team members’ performance and professionalism when interacting with customers and prospects.
In addition, they can monitor calls in real-time, record them, and analyze agent performance metrics to check adherence to call scripts, quality standards, and best practices.
You can check the performance of your contact center by using call center reporting and analytics features of call center solutions.
Moreover, you can monitor your company’s vital metrics and KPIs (Key performance indicators) using real-time and historical reports.
There are many metrics to look at, such as call volumes, first-call resolution rates, average call duration, call transfer rates, abandoned calls, and many more.
This report is crucial for call center managers to evaluate team performance, determine whether operations are successful, and identify areas for improvement.
Computer telephony integration, or CTI, plays a crucial role in making call center solutions compatible with CRM systems and other business applications. Call centers and contact centers deploy it for various good reasons.
It provides agents easy access to all the customer data along with the history of past conversations. Through the CRM screen pops you can get to see customer data as the agents deal with the customer requests.
Since all customer information is available, agents can personalize each interaction and enhance customer satisfaction.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are certainly revolutionizing VoIP contact centers. Here’s how:
The combination of AI and ML in VoIP contact centers offers tremendous possibilities that will completely change how customers are treated. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect.
Intelligent AI will be more innovative than mere emotions in understanding customers’ journeys and goals. Imagine agents being equipped with a tool that could help them fix problems and complaints quickly.
Machine Learning (ML) can determine customer needs without the need for customers to speak up. Proactively contacting customers to share ideas or solutions will become routine.
With the help of voice recognition software, a person can be recognized and authenticated. It can also customize speech patterns to be aware of personality traits.
Based on AI agent interaction analysis, individuals will be offered one-on-one coaching to fill related knowledge gaps and improve their communication abilities.
Along with AR overlays, articles from the knowledge base can also be reflected in an agent’s workplace, supporting faster and more informed decisions.
In addition, artificial intelligence can generate and, in some instances, solve routine problems. Freeing up the agents’ time to engage in more complex cases and develop stronger customer relationships.
Agents will handle all customer contacts (phone, chat, and email) through a single platform, guaranteeing an uninterrupted experience for customers across all channels.
AI will create a seamless omnichannel experience, smoothly shifting client engagement from voice and chat. At the same time, preserving essential aspects, such as context, for the corresponding agent.
Chatbots with AI technologies will not only reply to questions but will also initiate interactive conversations. That will be based on user behavior and website activity.
And that’s a wrap! In this article, we’ve explored AI and machine learning trends in VoIP contact centers. We hope you found it insightful.
The culmination of VoIP technology with AI and machine learning brings out the best in contact centers. From automating regular tasks, routing calls smartly, and assisting agents, everything can be achieved with this fusion.
To sum up, AI-powered VoIP contact centers are all set and poised to offer a different dimension when it comes to customer service. And it provides a major boost to the business who are looking to thrive in this competitive landscape.
Machine learning algorithms help analyze customer data, which becomes critical in determining customer behavior and enhancing routing. Moreover, it also offers guidance to agents in real-time, personalized interactions, and automates regular tasks.
Here are some examples of AI applications in VoIP contact centers:
