WHY YOUR CONTACT CENTER NEEDS A GATEWAY AND NOT JUST AN IVR.

STRATEGY VISION AND INDUSTRY VALIDATION
Vision
Introduce a " Customer Gateway " as the front door of your contact center system. It would function like an API gateway or AI gateway; it would identify, enrich, and route every participant before detecting customer intent( intent detection). This enables personalized IVR experiences and smarter automation.
