When well implemented - and when accepted by callers - such systems can have a hefty impact on operational costs (due to vast decreases in actual hold times). These apps can also dramatically enhance customer and employee satisfaction. Since callers are given a choice to either hold or wait for a prompt callback, they are less likely to be frustrated when they do reach an agent, thus less likely to open the call by venting to that agent."
