Contact centers have invested a lot in their IVRs. While cloud contact centers as a service (CCaaS) are trending with leading contact centers, most businesses are struggling to decide what to do with their legacy infrastructure and asking what the ROI is of yet another tech overhaul.

The best contact centers have found a way around rip-and-replace: using conversational AI to automate calls and chats in the cloud through a simple SIP transfer. New cloud-based natural language understanding (NLU) technology allows businesses to purposefully automate calls, deflect calls to digital, or escalate calls to live agents based on conditions and context. Urgent, complex requests - like canceling an account - can be rapidly identified through an automated exchange and escalated to a live agent, whereas simple, routine requests like change of address can be automated, and other requests can be deflected to digital chat.
