SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

NICE inContact, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) business, today announced that Govolution, a leader in multichannel payment technology including contact center payments, has selected and is implementing NICE inContact CXone^TM Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for over 50 Govolution clients, in industries including healthcare, government, insurance and others, to power fast and secure consumer credit card payments and to reduce agent-assisted call handle time by an estimated 20 to 50 percent. CXone was chosen to provide a cloud IVR solution that protects consumer financial data, provides compliance for financial security and privacy and improves productivity in the contact center.

By integrating the Govolution Call Center Payments module with NICE inContact CXone Omnichannel Routing and Interactive Voice Response, contact centers can accept credit card payments via both self-service and agent-assisted interactions. If consumers choose to work with a contact center agent, their data is securely transferred in a screen pop up – without showing the full set of data – and the agent is able to accept payment quickly and securely.

“With Govolution available to companies using CXone, contact centers can continue to streamline the customer experience for making credit card payments,” said Paul Jarman CEO of NICE inContact. “Consumers get a choice of how to make their payments and contact centers get improved productivity by increasing self-service interactions and reducing call handle time for agent-assisted calls. We look forward to our continued partnership with Govolution to help contact centers of all sizes take advantage of these features while improving business results.”

“We are delighted to partner with NICE inContact, and to deploy CXone IVR to our contact center customers in order to provide a secure and scalable cloud solution for those accepting credit card payments across many industries,” said Gregory Gentile, Govolution President. “Contact centers in government, healthcare, insurance and more can provide their customers with a faster and more secure method to make payments with our joint solution.”

Govolution started as a DEVone partner of NICE inContact and over time has enhanced the relationship through technology integration, joint marketing efforts, and now deployment of over 50 customers to NICE inContact CXone Interactive Voice Response.
