Uptime SLA Maintained

A top US Bank runs millions of customer calls annually. English and Spanish. High expectations. Regulatory scrutiny at every layer. Their contact center was not keeping pace. Vivify 247 rebuilt it from the ground up on AWS, with AI doing the heavy lifting and their team doing what humans do best.


The Situation

Millions of inbound calls. An IVR that frustrated callers into hanging up. A bilingual customer base that was being underserved on every Spanish call. Average handle times that were eating into agent capacity. And a compliance team that needed every interaction logged, auditable, and immutable.

The bank knew voice AI was the answer. What they needed was someone who could architect it without creating a security liability, without violating their data governance posture, and without a long runway to prove it worked.

That is where Vivify 247 came in.


The Architecture

We built this system entirely on AWS infrastructure with Salesforce Financial Services Cloud as the CRM backbone. Every component earns its place. The architecture is designed so that the bank owns every layer and no data ever touches a third-party inference endpoint without tokenization upstream.

The nucleus is AWS Bedrock running Meta Llama 3.3, fine-tuned on the bank’s own vocabulary, product catalog, and bilingual customer interaction history. The model does not guess. It has been trained on the exact language this bank’s customers use, the exact compliance constraints the contact center operates under, and the exact escalation signals that matter.

How the Signal Flows

A caller dials in. Amazon Connect receives the call and routes the real-time audio stream to Amazon Transcribe. Transcribe converts speech to text in under 300 milliseconds. The text hits AWS Bedrock. Bedrock runs intent classification, sentiment scoring, and response generation simultaneously. ElevenLabs synthesizes the response in the caller's preferred language using a custom voice model trained specifically for this bank.

If the model detects distress, an escalation trigger fires. The call routes to the right human agent with a pre-loaded context card pulled from Salesforce FSC. The agent walks in briefed, not blind.

The Secure Data Perimeter sits completely outside the AI inference path. Consumer PII, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and account credentials, lives in an isolated vault managed by AWS Macie, Amazon S3 Object Lock, and customer-managed KMS keys. The AI never touches raw PII. It receives tokens. Every token exchange is logged by CloudTrail and retained per the bank's regulatory schedule.


The Results

Within 90 days of go-live, the numbers were unambiguous.

73%
Containment Rate
Nearly three out of four calls resolved fully by AI. No agent handoff required. Handle time eliminated at scale.
44s
Average Handle Time Drop
Agents walk into every escalated call with pre-loaded context. Zero cold handoffs. Time to resolution cut dramatically.
2x
Spanish Language Capacity
Bilingual AI handles the first mile. Spanish callers no longer wait for a specialist. Queue depth on the Spanish line cut in half.
99.9%
Uptime SLA
AWS infrastructure running inside a private VPC. No data egress. No third-party endpoint dependencies. SLA maintained every month.

What This Means for Regulated Enterprises

Most voice AI deployments in financial services fail at one of three points. The model hallucinates. The data perimeter is porous. The compliance team cannot audit the inference path. This system was designed to solve all three problems before deployment, not after.

Bedrock Guardrails enforce the model's behavior at the compliance layer. PrivateLink ensures no inference traffic ever leaves the private network. CloudTrail captures every token exchange between the AI and the Secure Data Perimeter and retains those logs on S3 Object Lock, which is tamper-proof by design.

The result is a system that a CTO can put in front of a compliance officer, a regulator, or an audit committee and walk through with confidence. Every decision point is traceable. Every data access is logged. The model is constrained. The vault is isolated.
