Benefit programs like unemployment insurance are complex and time-sensitive, with weekly eligibility requirements that create ongoing demand for contact center support. During economic downturns, this demand surges exponentially, leaving agencies scrambling to maintain service levels. For many constituents, contact centers serve as the only bridge to critical answers while navigating job searches.
InterVision’s ConnectIV CXTM, powered by Amazon Connect, empowers agencies to scale operations efficiently with AI and automation, easing call volume, expanding self-service, and boosting staff productivity. This proactive approach ensures agencies are equipped to manage daily operations while responding to unexpected surges in demand.
Addressing Service Gaps and Constituent Barriers
Contact centers are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of inquiries from constituents facing various barriers. Callers with limited English proficiency, low literacy, or without access to web applications are disproportionately impacted when systems are stretched thin. These constituents frequently rely on live agents, leading to prolonged wait times and increased frustration.
ConnectIV CX leverages AI-powered self-service tools and automated workflows to address these gaps. Multilingual virtual assistants, chatbots, and proactive communication channels engage diverse populations, guide users through inquiries, and deliver timely updates, ensuring equitable access, while freeing agents to handle more complex issues.

- Enhancing IVR with AI Integration: Real-time integration with back-end systems enables claim status, payment updates, and eligibility information directly through IVR, reducing call duration and deflecting inquiries.
- Optimizing Load Management: Virtual assistants and chatbots ensure 24/7 service continuity, while scheduled callbacks allow constituents to select convenient follow-up times. Machine learning forecasts call volume and aligns staffing to meet demand.
