Since its inception, Easy On Hold® has focused on innovation in an industry that had become stale. We have replaced repetitive, unimaginative phone-on-hold messages with dynamically generated content.
Why The Technical Team Prefers Streaming MOH
- Messages are changed in the stream, not by handling files. The audio content no longer passes through your hands. In some cases, devices are not required, reducing maintenance.
- Streams automate the start and stop dates of each topic (individual announcement). No more out-of-date audio files being left on the system.
- Like it or not, someone at your company is responsible for the liability of licensing the content that is heard on your phones. Easy On Hold® assumes that responsibility.
- Bandwidth consumption is just 0.025 GB/hr. for the mono 128kbps stream (less than one employee listening to Pandora®).
- Streams provide real data that can be used in implementation and troubleshooting.
- Once installed, the URL does not change. No further maintenance is required.
Why The Business/Marketing Team Prefers Streaming MOH
- Scheduling automation allows high-value topics to be delivered with pinpoint timing. Relevant information reduces call abandonment and increases customer engagement.
- Changes are heard immediately. You’ll never wonder when topics will be played or if they were programmed at all.
- Dayparting, meaning “good morning” and “good afternoon” phrases surprise and delight callers. Unexpected positive moments activate the brain’s pleasure center.
- The predictable “audio loop” makes hold times feel longer than they really are. Instead, topics are played randomly in the stream.
- Easily manage content at multiple locations using any browser or device.
- All of your topics are not of equal importance, so Easy On Hold® streams let you set priority ratings for each topic. Your high-value, time-sensitive messages are heard more often.
