PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cresta, a leading provider of generative AI for modern contact centers, today announced that it has expanded its voice platform integrations to include hardphone functionality, enabling legacy, on-premise contact centers to access the benefits of the cloud, without fully committing to a cloud transformation.

  • This technology enables organizations to improve CSAT (customer satisfaction), reduce AHT (average handle time), and improve conversions and sales.
  • "The latest breakthroughs in generative AI and LLMs have undoubtedly most benefited companies who have migrated to the cloud," said Tim Shi, CTO and co-founder of Cresta.
