Australian Military Bank improves member experience, meets compliance needs and saves significantly with Dubber

Australian Military Bank improves member experience, meets compliance needs and saves significantly with Dubber

Voice calls are the main point of contact for Australian Military Bank members. The Bank uses Dubber call recording as an essential part of improving the member experience and compliance.

Here’s the backstory

Australian Military Bank is a member-owned mutual bank. Open to everyone, however, it provides specialist banking and finance services to Defence personnel and their families.

There are 14 branch locations across Australia and 11 internal Departments connected to Dubber CallN.

Head of Marketing Penelope Killick says the bank’s membership differs from other financial institutions. Many members serve in the Defence Force, they get deployed across Australia and may find themselves posted overseas.

She says: “We’ve got members who are always on the move. That’s why contacting via phone is so important. Our members may be deployed in places where they don’t have access to a branch. For these reasons, voice calls are the main point of contact for many members. It’s vital that we get it right.”

While the Bank has a central call centre in Sydney, many calls are either directed to branches or routed to them. The system can transfer after-hours calls in Eastern Australia to a branch in Perth. The contact centre team are able to handle many enquiries that might otherwise be a branch’s job.

Customer Experience is everything

Rizwan Dean, the Bank’s IT manager, says the Bank uses Dubber CallN for quality assurance, call recording and analytics. It allows staff to go back into calls, review a conversation, understand what members are talking about and identify their pain points.

He says: “We get a lot of information by listening to calls. Our conversations with our members tells us a lot about what they really want from us as their bank. We find Dubber is a very useful application.”

Killick says improving the member experience is a key priority for the Bank. “We can provide them with services to meet their requirements. We can help members particularly at the moment when Covid can mean circumstances may change”.

“Being able to log-in, and look at what is happening with member enquiries is important. We like having the ability to coach our staff in how to better respond to what are often unique requirements. And we find the tool useful when it comes to handling complaints, which is part of improving the member experience.”

Proactive Fraud Detection and Compliance

Dean says the Bank also uses voice recordings to detect and deal with fraud. Calls are easily checked if the fraud team suspects there is an issue or if a customer asks a staff member to do something fraudulent.

Another important related use is bank compliance. Australian regulators require the Bank to keep customer recordings for seven years. The recordings provide immutable evidence of every customer conversation.

As part of that process, auditors have the opportunity to review sample recordings and their own quality assurance checks. They provide reports to the Board and to regulators, to demonstrate they are meeting compliance requirements.

Cost Savings, Reliability and Productivity in the Cloud

Australia Military Bank’s dispersed network uses unified communications and that’s a natural partner for Dubber’s unified voice recording.

Dean says it means the Bank can use a single solution for all its recordings.

He says; “When I joined the Australian Military Bank one of the biggest pain points was that the Bank had to put physical computers and hardware at each site. These connect to our network and sit listening to voice traffic.

“The recordings were then uploaded back into the CallN portal. That was a problem because our branches are located at Defence sites. When there was maintenance, security work or patches on the Defence network, our branches would lose their connectivity. That meant we would have gaps in our quality assurance and compliance.

“Going to Dubber CallN cloud made our lives so much easier. That’s because it no longer matters where someone is dialling in from, even from mobiles, the recording happens at the Telstra gateway, not the branch.

“It means the gap is now closed. We don’t miss anything. It also means the overall hardware footprint and the capex is significantly reduced.”

The cost and productivity savings to the Bank are considerable. Previously every time a computer broke down, they’d have to replace it and send it out to the site and all machines required constant patching and upgrades to stay compliant.

As a result of the move to the cloud solution, they’ve eliminated the huge number of hours spent every month building and patching computers and guiding staff how to set them up on site.

4 Things You Might’ve Missed in Dubber in 2021

4 Things You Might’ve Missed in Dubber in 2021

1. More Service Providers discover the value in adding data to their voice services

More service providers are adding Dubber to their networks and solutions than ever, with Dubber now on over 160 service provider networks. New partnerships this year include BT and AT&T, two of the largest leading service and solutions providers in the world, in moves that speak to the value of adding Dubber’s unified voice data service across the full suite of service provider endpoints and UC solutions.

“More service providers are driving revenue, retention and differentiation through voice services. Where the dominant revenue stream stemmed from making connections, the future will be based on creating value for themselves and their customers from the content on those connections.” – Russell Evans, Chief Revenue Officer, Dubber.

2. Business productivity in remote-first interactions got a significant boost

While the Dubber feature set continues to evolve to help end-users become more productive, of note this year was our acquisition of meeting force multiplier, Notiv. The AI-driven note-taking and action-item-generating software that sits in on meetings is hyper-focused on making meetings more effective and productive.

2022 will mark the year that Notiv becomes a key offering of service provider networks. Embedded as a service, capturing every conversation, and transforming it into meaningful insights. Note Taking will finally be automated, simple, and affordable. And an incredible source of differentiation for every service provider.

“AI can now touch every endpoint on a network – UC calls, mobile, and video. Every conversation has the potential to be augmented and enriched by AI unlocking insights and providing the data to power workflows and enrich other data sets. For too long conversations have been untapped and isolated to specific applications. By enabling AI to run, as a service, on every conversation service providers and businesses can tap one of the most important data sources in the world.” – Steve Wilson, Chief Technology Officer, Dubber.

3. Major Unified Communications platforms branch into new territory

Call recording was once a feature based on complex integration, high-cost storage, siloed applications, and management overhead. Today it is being delivered as a service at the core of major communications platforms.

Today, Webex Calling and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Cloud (Cisco’s enterprise cloud communications infrastructure solution) customers obtain Dubber basic cloud call recording solution for free – with enriched services available as an upgrade. Critically, this same service surfaces recordings, data, and insights from calls and conversations on other networks, such as mobile, providing customers with a single window into their conversational data, recordings and insights.

“Customers worldwide are responding to increased regulatory and compliance obligations for their businesses. Embedding tools, like Dubber call recording, as a standard service that is available to Webex users will help customers meet those requirements while enabling easy access to powerful advanced voice data services.” – Lorrissa Horton, Vice President and General Manager of Webex Calling and Online.

4. Hybrid-work staples gain a new service to help companies do business more effectively

Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams and Zoom became dominant parts of every worker’s lives over the past year. And, a key offering from every service provider globally. Call recording as a feature was supplanted by call recording as a service – always on, requiring no management overhead or storage costs, and driving visibility into recordings and data across all services through a single window.

With hybrid work, employees still need to work compliantly, under the umbrella of management-sanctioned Unified Communications and enterprise mobility solutions. The recent fine of $200m metered out to JP Morgan – for violating record-keeping laws for employees using WhatsApp and personal devices for communications – speaks to the necessity of holistic solutions like Dubber for hybrid workplace control and compliance.

With a big 2021, it’s set to be an even bigger 2022 for Dubber, as we continue our mission to help service providers and end-users get the most out of every conversation.

The race to offer call recording as a service in telco mobile networks

The race to offer call recording as a service in telco mobile networks

With revenue streams and retention under pressure like never before, and customers demanding solutions for compliance, productivity and intelligence – the race is on to offer call recording and AI as a service in the mobile network.

Hybrid working has increased usage of mobile and rapid adoption of unified communications, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Cisco Webex, for crucial customer interactions. This has made it more challenging for businesses to meet regulatory and legal requirements – and for service providers to address those needs.

Behind the use cases that mandate call recording is the broader need to enhance productivity and harness the power of AI and data from a once untappable data source, conversations.

Applications such as Dubber’s automated note-taking – fuelled by native and cloud call recording – now make it possible to enhance the productivity of every worker through automated note-taking, AI-enriched insights, and connectivity to critical enterprise apps. Now an action spoken of in a meeting can be instantly captured, translated, and added to Asana as a task.

Mobile service providers are set to benefit from the drive to record. With Gartner indicating that by 2025, 75% of conversations at work will be recorded and analyzed, mobile call recording provides a significant market opportunity for service providers who already provide the network infrastructure for these conversations.

Service providers instantly get access to a high-value recurring revenue stream that can well exceed $100m per annum. They achieve differentiation not just from the service but also from the new services they can deliver based on AI-enriched data sets. And, retention increased as the value of the service moves beyond just connections to how the service provider delivers value from the content on those connections. 5G in of itself, as an example won’t be enough to accelerate service provider growth. It’s the new ways in which 5G can be used – such as unified call recording – that will make the difference in 2022” – James Slaney, chief operating officer, Dubber.

The days of legacy call recording are over and don’t scale to record mobile and UC conversations. Hardware, services, siloed data and ever-increasing storage costs are being replaced with call recording and AI solutions delivered as a service, by Service Providers.

Dubber has recently partnered with Optus to deliver mobile voice recording and AI, an Australia-first, as a native feature of the Optus mobile network. As a result, Optus Enterprise customers have access to a cost-effective and complete recording and conversational insights solution across virtually any form of communication – including transcriptions, sentiment analysis, real-time search and more.

“Through our strategic partnership with Dubber we can now boost our customers productivity, visibility, and effectiveness. Optus’ Australian first native integration of Dubber into our mobile network allows participating enterprise customers the ability to unlock the power of conversational AI to push the frontier of how they care for customers, train and coach employees, resolve disputes and meet crucial compliance mandates.” 

Zorawar Singh, Head of Core Product, Optus Enterprise

It’s time to do more with every conversation on mobile networks.

Melbourne, Australia – 2 December 2021 — Dubber Corporation Limited (ASX: DUB) today announced that the RegTech Association has awarded Dubber the 2021 RegTech of the Year (Australian-founded).

James Slaney, COO, Dubber: “Unified conversational recording and intelligence unlock a significant opportunity for Service Providers to meet the compliance and surveillance needs of businesses globally. With a record number of applications and supported by a cross-industry judging panel, this award acknowledges the work of our teams and customers.

Recognition such as this furthers our ability to attract new service providers onto the world’s leading conversational recording platform. The days of legacy call recording are over.

Where legacy call recording solutions were tied to a specific application or service, we can near-instantaneously create compliance certainty with our Service Provider partners across all the services they provide – Cisco Webex Calling, Microsoft Teams, traditional unified communication and mobile services through a single pane.

This provides a win for all parties.  Service providers create compelling differentiation and revenue and their customers eliminate the cost, complexity and lack of visibility legacy solutions create. Businesses can now enable their employees to work the way they want to work, and for customers to communicate the way they want to communicate, without compromising compliance or security.”

Until now, the need for hybrid working and rapid adoption of unified communications solutions has made it more challenging for businesses to meet regulatory and legal requirements – and for service providers to address those needs.

Dubber’s Unified Conversational Recording and Intelligence platform is a foundational service for Service Providers to deliver compliance and surveillance solutions. It enables conversations to be captured in real-time – voice, video and chat – and transformed into data on which AI surfaces insights, alerts and more. From a single platform, data from any number of communications services can be viewed and shared with big data sets and other applications. Businesses can demonstrate they know customers and employees and meet compliance mandates such as MiFID, FINRA, AML & KYCRG 271Anti-hawking and more.

Unified Call Recording and Intelligence is now at the centre of modernising compliance and surveillance in industries ranging from financial services to entertainment and travel. By unifying conversations and AI-enriching data, organizations can address critical needs for legal hold and discovery, data retention, auditing, internal dispute resolution, monitoring, alerting and reporting, and more.

How AI is unlocking insights in our conversations for new business intelligence

How AI is unlocking insights in our conversations for new business intelligence

We’re doing AI on business conversations. But what exactly does that mean? How are we going about it? Most importantly – what do organisations and individuals stand to gain from it?

Read our whitepaper, Unlock intelligence from every conversation with Dubber AI.

What is AI?

“Artificial intelligence leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind.” – IBM]

Artificial Intelligence is a bit of a catch-all phrase, covering anything a machine can do that ‘feels’ human, processing data and performing actions that a human would. For example, a machine could scan inbound emails for invoices from valid vendors and pay them, just like an assistant would.

But ‘true’ Artificial Intelligence is something deeper.

And that’s when we tend towards Machine Learning.

“A program or system that builds (trains) a predictive model from input data. The system uses the learned model to make useful predictions from new (never-before-seen) data drawn from the same distribution as the one used to train the model.” – Google

Machine Learning is when machines process great reams of data, becoming able to learn from data points what some human-defined object or concept is – and what it is not.

For example, when you go through ReCaptcha activities, clicking on fire hydrants, it’s to check whether a machine came up with the same answers for the hydrants – a machine that’s currently doing Machine Learning. Down the line, this will be applied in your self-driving car, so that it knows to swerve to avoid said hydrant – giving it ‘intelligence’ that seems human.

Since machines have a far greater collective processing speed than the human collective processing speed, it’s allowing us to classify objects or concepts far more quickly than an office of 100 analysts. This is combined with infinite, non-degradable storage – which far outperforms the capabilities of our human memory.

What does AI have to do with business conversations?

You likely already use Business Intelligence tools in your organisational analytics capacity, perhaps pulling financial information into slick dashboards in Power BI. Augmented Analytics is a step further, beyond statistical analysis to integrated machine-learning capabilities within your analytics processes and apps.

“Augmented analytics uses machine learning to automate data preparation, insight discovery, data science, and machine learning model development and insight sharing for a broad range of business users, operational workers and citizen data scientists.” – Gartner

Augmented analytics, with the help of Natural Language Processing, a form of machine learning, is what Dubber does – for business conversations.

Consider this: What are the ‘things’ in your business conversations that fall down the cracks? Whether it’s just two people on a phone call, or a boardroom full of people, there will be ‘things’ that are missed.

It’s why we take notes. It’s why we replay key conversations over in our heads. It’s why our most important action items come from a stern tone from a stakeholder.

But, as humans, we’re fallible and we fluctuate in effectiveness. And we’re only as useful as the collective on the conversation.

Putting machine learning to work on our conversations allows us to focus on the importnant things.

With a machine on the call, suddenly, these thought and manual process-consumptive tasks are off-loaded to a large degree to a machine brain that’s far faster at processing, and far better at remembering than our own collective intelligence. Dubber Notiv can automatically create action items for us instead of having to scribble them down.

We still need to think on our feet during the conversation, but we now have access to a post-conversational database and insights we may have missed. It’s a more effective, less error-prone memory bank. It can process and recall all the information in a conversation near-perfectly – and it gets better over time, as is the beauty of machine learning capabilities.

And when you start to combine all the conversations across your business? And being able to have a machine dig into combined insights across these conversations? Well, now you are getting to the crux of your biggest people-based business assets, your new and missed opportunities, your unsurfaced areas of improvement.

It’s Conversational Intelligence. And it’s what we do at Dubber.

Four ways service providers globally are winning with conversational data

Four ways service providers globally are winning with conversational data

Service and solution providers globally are capturing conversations and monetizing voice connections using unified call recording and AI.

Here are the four ways that they are benefiting.

1. Delivering connections and content

Network-native unified conversational recording and AI can be deployed with minimal cost and deployment effort. It means service providers can quickly provide valuable content and intelligence, such as compliance, customer and people insights to customers.

While bundling is traditionally a calling, internet, and video service package, operators can leverage service/content bundling, together with conversational recording and data insights, to help reduce subscriber churn by up to 50%. (S&P Global Insights)

“Customers worldwide are responding to increased regulatory and compliance obligations for their businesses. Embedding tools, like Dubber call recording, as a standard service that is available to Webex users will help customers meet those requirements while enabling easy access to powerful advanced voice data services.”

– Lorrissa Horton Vice President and General Manager of Webex Calling and Online

2. Accelerated and increased revenue

Service providers are building new and differentiated services with unified call recording and AI that answer customer needs (for compliance, customer and people intelligence) and create a pathway to increased revenue, retention and new customer acquisition.

During COVID-19 recovery, service providers are expected to see new levels of demand across revenue streams in IaaS/SaaS, Cybersecurity, Unified comms, Managed services, and IoT/Industry solutions. (PwC’s Where next for telecommunications?)

“The addition of Dubber into our portfolio has allowed us to unlock new revenue streams in call recording. We share with Dubber a passion to help customers realise the full power of their voice data and achieve compliant communications. The Dubber team provides us with all the support we need to effectively offer this with their Unified Call Recording and Voice AI platform.”

– Paul Harrison Managing Director – Evolve IP

3. AI-Driven Competitive advantage

Service providers are unlocking the power of voice data, AI and NLP as a source of competitive differentiation in every deal and customer account to deliver significant value.

“Dubber has become a crucial partner for Redcentric, we lead with their unified call recording technology but their developments around AI-enriched conversational intelligence really give us the ability to differentiate ourselves and expand the conversation with our customers to add further value.”

– Alex Wilmot, Solutions Director, Redcentric

4. Winning the transition to cloud and work from anywhere

Demand for conversational data has never been stronger, driven by compliance mandates, the need to reduce costs, and a rapidly dispersed workforce working across multiple IP connections.

Growth in unified communications continues to accelerate. Microsoft now has over 280 million monthly active users on Microsoft Teams and over 80 million on Microsoft calling. And UCaaS is following a similar trend with Gartner forecasting it to grow from $46bn in 2020 to $140bn in 2025.

“The collaboration between the M247 and Dubber teams has been excellent. Dubber is changing the field of play when it comes to cloud call recording and conversational intelligence – in-turn this is key value we’re able to provide to our customers.” 

– Steve Briant, Head of Enterprise Sales, M247

Moving beyond simply selling connections to monetizing the value of content on the network is a key service provider growth strategy.

Network native conversational recording creates differentiation from day one that only grows as the insights in data are unlocked. Creating a large addressable opportunity from a broad user base creates significant ARR upside. It’s why leading providers from AT&T to Cisco and Telstra are deploying Dubber today.
