The ATO is committed to delivering a contemporary digital experience for clients and excellent customer service to Australian taxpayers. As a result, the organization sought to improve the customer experience across its contact center, online and mobile channels by introducing Nuance’s voice biometrics solutions. The ATO is the first‑ever organization to offer multi‑channel voice biometrics, providing the ability to authenticate by voice within its call centre and mobile application.
Prior to implementing Nuance’s voice biometric technologies, the ATO received approximately 8 million calls per year from the community, with the majority of these calls requiring an ATO agent to verify the caller’s identity. The existing authentication process required customers to provide personal details or have the correct documentation details in front of them when they called the ATO. This process was time consuming for the ATO’s contact center agents, taking agents a combined total of 75,000 hours annually. In addition, it meant regular callers needed to be continuously verified.
To solve this, the ATO set out to improve the customer experience across its contact center and mobile channels through the deployment of voice biometrics, a core technology capability available from Nuance.
