The call center industry is dynamic, highly competitive, and heavily dependent on efficiency. Every second lost on an unanswered call translates into wasted time, money, and productivity.
Answering Machine Detection (AMD) technology identifies whether an outbound call is answered by a real person or by a message or voicemail system.
AMD is becoming increasingly accurate, reliable, and fast. It cuts down on wasted time and boosts agent productivity by eliminating dead air on outbound calls. If your contact center aims to maximize the impact of its outbound campaigns, understanding AMD can make a significant difference.
Imagine a gatekeeper who only allows entry to people with tickets for an event—that’s how AMD works. It only “lets through” calls answered by humans, filtering out those picked up by voicemails or automated responses. The best AMD platforms, especially those powered by AI, analyze call audio in real time, detecting voice patterns, identifying tones and pauses to determine if a call has been answered by a person or a machine.
Audara’s integrated AMD technology uses advanced machine learning algorithms capable of detecting nuances in audio interactions. This improves agent productivity and ensures customers are connected more quickly to a live agent during outbound campaigns.
AMD analyzes multiple factors, such as:
When a call is identified as being answered by a machine, AMD can either end it automatically or redirect it based on your system settings. If it detects a real person, the call is immediately connected to an agent—optimizing both time and productivity for teams using an Automatic, Progressive, or Predictive Dialer. The same applies to a Blaster Dialer, which operates without human agents and relies solely on voicebots, improving both performance and speed.
More advanced systems, including those with integrated AI, go a step further by continuously adapting to new patterns in automated systems and improving accuracy over time. This not only cuts down on false positives (machines detected as humans) and false negatives (humans detected as machines), but also ensures call center operations remain agile and efficient.
Time Savings
With Audara’s AMD, unproductive calls going to voicemail are eliminated. Agents can focus on real interactions, significantly increasing connection rates and meaningful daily interactions. It also accelerates results for the BlasterBot dialer, which uses voicebots and IVRs instead of human agents.
Cost Savings
By enhancing call efficiency, costs per interaction decrease. This lets you handle higher volumes with fewer resources, optimizing staff allocation and reducing operational expenses.
Higher Productivity
AMD minimizes wasted time on unproductive calls, allowing agents to concentrate on revenue-generating conversations. This translates into more efficient workflows and higher sales, conversions, and successful interactions.
Improved Customer Experience (CX)
By prioritizing effective calls and filtering out voicemails, AMD reduces unwanted callbacks and late responses. Agents can focus on real conversations, providing a faster and more satisfying customer experience.
