VirtuOz - fully automatic customer service chat bots

VirtuOz, a company that develops virtual support agents, has closed a $11.4 million Series B funding round led by Mohr Davidow Ventures, with Galileo Partners and Eric Hahn with Inventures Group also participating.

Virtual Agents generally appear as chat avatars (you can see one below), and are apparently so realistic that the company says that 69% of customers end their conversation with a “Goodbye”.

Call centers leaving India, coming back to America

"We really believe that our customer satisfaction saves us more money in the long term than off shoring," said Jitterbug CEO David Inns. The move from overseas back to the States isn't just about ending years of customer complaints about not being able to reach an operator stateside. "Over the last few years wages have been rising in India at a pretty rapid rate," Loynd said. Also, lawmakers are trying to make it even less attractive for companies to send calls overseas by trying to pass a new law that would mandate customer service reps identify where they are handling calls from.
