    “Configuring and adjusting NAB’s legacy conversational Interactive Voice Response (IVR) was a time-consuming and inefficient exercise that always involved the vendor. Since migrating our IVR to Amazon Connect, NAB now independently runs reports identifying opportunities to improve the customer experience. We can now make changes in a timelier manner, providing constant iteration and innovation for our customers, while helping ensure all enquiries are directed to a self-service opportunity or the most appropriate banker. The IVR on NAB’s primary phone number receives around 18 million inbound calls per year. Today, thanks to the ability to continually improve our systems ourselves, 69% of those 18 million calls are directed to perform self-service transactions within the IVR, enabling 95% to be completed within channel.” - Mark Baylis, Executive Direct, National Australia Bank
