Doha, Qatar
Ooredoo, Qatar’s leading telecommunications provider, announced the launch of an AI-powered outbound sales calling capability built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, leveraging real-time GPT voice technology to enhance customer engagement, improve telesales productivity, and accelerate revenue growth.
The new solution enables intelligent, natural-language conversations with customers through real-time AI voice agents, supporting outbound sales campaigns with dynamic, personalised interactions that adapt to customer intent, preferences, and responses, all while operating securely within Ooredoo’s enterprise environment.
By integrating Azure OpenAI’s real-time voice capabilities into its outbound contact centre ecosystem, Ooredoo aims to significantly improve key performance indicators, including agent productivity, conversion rates, and campaign scalability, while maintaining consistent service quality.
The AI voice solution supports:
- Automated yet human-like conversations across customer touchpoints
- Real-time intent detection and adaptive dialogue for improved engagement
- Instant access to products, pricing, and offer intelligence
- Seamless transition to human agents when required
- Continuous learning from call outcomes to optimise future campaigns
This enables Ooredoo to run high-volume outbound campaigns more efficiently, while freeing human agents to focus on complex, high-value customer interactions.
Through this deployment, Ooredoo expects to deliver measurable benefits across multiple dimensions:
- Higher contact rates and conversion ratios through personalised AI conversations
- Reduced operational costs per call via intelligent automation
- Faster campaign launch cycles with AI-driven scripting and optimisation
- Improved customer experience consistency across all outbound engagements
- Scalable growth without proportional headcount increases
The platform is designed with enterprise-grade security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance, ensuring customer data remains protected within Ooredoo’s trusted cloud environment.
