How to Achieve the Ultimate User Experience

User Experience Design (UX) is more than an interface on an application. UX is intended to design and develop clear, efficient, user-friendly interactions between customers and companies through a variety of applications. It is more than just recording prompts for your IVR with someone from the motor pool that has a cool sounding voice or redesigning a call flow so that customers get to the agent they need to talk to even faster. An effective interaction interface is intuitive. It is efficient, saving customers time and frustration. And it communicates clearly and is easy to use, making the experience a customer has a positive one.
