Too often, IVR technology is not used properly, which almost always leads to a poor customer experience. When will this cycle end? Perhaps even more frightening of a question is if it ever will.

Cloud telephony startup, KooKoo, is looking to extend its reach for increased customer satisfaction and overall experience, having recently revealed that its IVR solution can now support 10 Indian languages.

While science fiction enthusiasts have been waiting for our personal jet packs and food synthesizers for years, in the meantime, another one of our wishes may come true; we may soon have a virtual personal assistant who isn't limited to our phone (hello - or should we say goodbye - Siri!)
