Summary

Twilio's Omni-Channel Approach: A Self-Service Win/Win is a concept where both businesses and customers benefit from self-service applications. This approach has finally been realized due to new capabilities, shifting customer preferences for omni communications, and an increased willingness to do-it-yourself. The traditional attempts at self-service in customer interactions, such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, have struggled to achieve reasonable customer satisfaction outcomes. However, with the advancements in technology, businesses are now looking to create intelligent and powerful experiences using chatbots and Artificial Intelligence. Twilio's approach creates value across multiple channels by providing cloud-based solutions that offer flexibility, software agility, and scalability. The framework allows for the deployment of live agent and self-service experiences, enabling customers to transform their communications and provide unique benefits to both their business and customers.
