AUTOMATED INFORMATION SERVICES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
CentraNet (Centrex) Automated Information Services (AIS) is a group of
voice-processing service features that allow a caller to interact with
information through a touch-tone telephone. The caller can navigate
through one or more menus to choose a desired destination. The destinations
include individual extensions, voice mailboxes, and pre-recorded voice
narratives. Specific services to be rolled out initially are Automated
Attendant (AA) and Information Bulletin Board (IBB).
AA transfers incoming calls to a person, a department, or a voice-messaging
system. A caller receives a recorded greeting and then navigates through one
or more menus, with the AIS system monitoring the progression and, finally,
transferring the caller to the desired destination.
Similarly, the IBB directs the caller through one or more menus to a
selection of pre-recorded messages. Voice information may be provided by
tape or can be updated by telephone.
