This Guidance uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze speech and conversations in near real-time to improve agent key performance indicators (KPIs) and the customer experience. Data can be visualized through dashboards on Amazon QuickSight, increasing the visibility into agent effectiveness and improving the customer experience. Machine learning is used to capture intent and context from conversations and offer intelligent search features.

Well-Architected Pillars

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of the decisions you make when building systems in the cloud. The six pillars of the Framework allow you to learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable systems. Using the AWS Well-Architected Tool, available at no charge in the AWS Management Console, you can review your workloads against these best practices by answering a set of questions for each pillar.

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

  • Data, such as sentiment analysis of speakers and how well contact center agents meet a customer’s internal compliance rules, is used to identify how effective contact center agents are at handling customer calls. The same data also identifies the topics and entities discussed in the call. All of this data can be visualized in Amazon QuickSight to help business analysts identify trends from a customer’s perspective and potential training needs for agents. 

    Read the Operational Excellence whitepaper 

  • All data is encrypted both in motion and at rest, and can use customer-controlled AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys for this encryption. Although the solution is entirely serverless, the AWS Lambda components can optionally run within a customer’s VPC, accessing external services such as Amazon Transcribe and Amazon S3 only through a customer’s approved endpoints.

    Read the Security whitepaper 

  • The solution is entirely serverless, and each of those services (for example, Amazon Transcribe, Amazon S3) operate using multiple Availability Zones in a resilient fashion.

    Read the Reliability whitepaper 

  • The solution scales its usage of its serverless components as it needs to, both up and down, in order to handle the concurrent processing of potentially thousands of calls or those times when there are no pending calls to process.

    Read the Performance Efficiency whitepaper 

  • As in the Performance Efficiency pillar, the solution will only use serverless components when there is an active call audio file to process, minimizing the incurred costs as much as possible. If required, the original audio files can be archived to lower-cost long-term storage on a customer-specified schedule in order to minimize storage costs. 

    Read the Cost Optimization whitepaper 

  • By extensively using managed services and dynamic scaling, we minimize the environmental impact of the backend services.

Live call analytics and agent assist for your contact center with Amazon language AI services

Your contact center connects your business to your community, enabling customers to order products, callers to request support, clients to make appointments, and much more. When calls go well, callers retain a positive image of your brand, and are likely to return and recommend you to others. 

This post demonstrates how to use Amazon Machine Learning (ML) services to transcribe and extract insights from your contact center calls at scale.
