Telecommunications Sector is Expected to Occupy Significant Market Share
- Due to the huge volume of data generated by the introduction of the connected world idea, speech analytics has become increasingly popular in the telecom business. Initially, the recorded calls were assessed manually; however, as the number of calls has increased, so has the necessity for adequate and accurate assessment, resulting in speech analytics implementation.

- The goal of telecommunication firms' call centers is to enable these calls and gather information about consumer trends and behavior that can be gleaned from them. As data processing has become increasingly crucial for spotting opportunities, contact centers use technology based on more significant amounts of data.
- Various telecommunication companies are already using Speech Analytics solutions like Telefonica Brazil, the most vital telecommunication player in South America, which is taking complete advantage of Comdata's solution. The corporation uses IVR (interactive voice response) to manage an average of 40 million calls daily, with 9 million calls handled by humans. While those numbers are predicted to increase in the future, fewer human operators are anticipated to be employed in the following few years. Consequently, the problem is how to lower expenses while improving the quality of the client experience. Implementing a Speech Analytics solution is thus a crucial business solution.
