3 years of Cloud Telephony Blogs

Time certainly flies. Seems like yesterday, but when I saw the dates on my blog posts, I realized that its been 3 years since we introduced cloud telephony to India. So, I just thought I will summarize what I have been blogging for the last 3 years in this post.

In return of telephony apps, and free your voice, I explained the need for cloud telephony solutions and how our aim was to make telephony application development as mainstream as web development. This set the stage and people started noticing about KooKoo and cloud telephony.

The next step was to showcase some innovative apps which showcased the capability of cloud telephony. Phone use cases, telephony polls, Twitter voice, call to register, play order details, virtual receptionist, local search,integrating help desks, integrating sales force and CRMswedding IVR etc

I also documented our expansion(New circles,Gujarat, Rajasthan) and addition of an SMS channel. I covered our partnerships(Youth Ki Awaz, Apigee Hackathon, Desert Hack from BITS, Freshdesk, Akshar Speech, Startup Weekend, Ghar Pay)

We also developed some fun hacks which I covered in the blog. These include building call analytics, integrating OpenVBX, wedding IVR, IPL poll with speech, displaying social media footprint of callers, creating a graph dashboard of live callers.

All in all, its been a fun 3 years of blogging and its nice to look back and see what we have created and the relationships we have formed so far.

Lot more exciting things are in the offing and I will be writing our yearly report at the end of the month. Some big numbers are there for everyone.

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

Arborjs  is a cool graph visualization library. Angular  is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to get s

KooKoo Contact Center integration with WhatsApp

WhatsApp announced the launch of their business API yesterday. This is a big deal. A lot of businesses have been asking for WhatsApp integration and now its a possibility. Twilio has already launched an integration . Won't be long before we see a lot more integrations pop up. The most obvious use case is for support chat bots, alerts and reminders. But we at Ozonetel believe one other use case will become the dominant use case, WhatsApp as a support channel with human agents. We believe WhatsApp will become a dominant channel in contact centers world wide. There are multiple reasons for this: WhatsApp is ubiquitous. Everyone has the app. WhatsApp interface is well known to all customers. It is feature rich. You can share audio, video, location etc in the app itself. You can integrate bots for repetitive tasks. Being the leaders in cloud contact center solutions, we at Ozonetel knew that we had to integrate with the WhatsApp channel as early as possible.
