It has been an uncharacteristically warm start to fall here in Denver, Colorado. The temperatures have soared above 80 degrees, and occasionally even hit 90. However, just to the west of us, fall is in full swing, and all the leaves are changing to beautiful golden hues. I definitely want to take advantage of fall as much as possible, but how do I find the perfect location to visit? An interactive voice response system could come in handy. An IVR system could be constructed that would allow users to call in, enter their location nationwide, and receive recommendations based on the distance they wanted to drive, the types of trees they wanted to see, or whether they wanted to go hiking, biking, or rock climbing as well. Users could call into the IVR, store their personal preferences, and have access to information on great scenic views, hiking trails, and picnic areas. This type of IVR system could be employed nationwide, allowing users in all locations to glean information on great scenic drives. The IVR system could store preferences, and make outbound calls to subscribers when leaves were ready for viewing, also letting them know about special events or other opportunities. In next to no time, I could grab my camera, jump in the car, and be enjoying all the breathtaking scenic views that the Colorado Rockies have to offer!
