According to Gartner,

“By 2025, 30% of major enterprises will have selected a single, enterprisewide, conversational platform that is leveraged as a front end by business applications, both for customer service and to improve employee effectiveness."

Evolving IVRs to Conversational Platforms

• “Business leaders are uncertain how to define and prioritize a self-service strategy for digital, web and voice channels."

• “Cultural and organizational differences and conflicting interests between groups responsible for various self-service channels make technology and service prioritization challenging"

• “There are multiple technology options for converging IVRs and conversational solutions. There may also be significant existing investments in both technologies, and often there is no single right answer, but rather trade-offs that include both strengths and weaknesses."
