Traditional IVRs For a long time IVR technology seemed to stand still How many times do you find yourself still stuck in an endlessphone tree? Traditional IVR platforms were premise-based, expensive andcomplex and they lived for a very long time. A side effect of being complex is that no one wanted to touchthem The move to cloud telephony and the widespread availability ofcloud services has changed everythingS
