Good points. A few things that actually move the needle:
- IVR + call queues handle the bulk of routing without agent intervention - Callback options alone can cut abandonment rate significantly - Analytics matters more than most people realize, you can't fix what you don't measure
For scaling, a cloud phone system is the right foundation since you can add capacity without touching hardware. AI bots are useful but work best for simple, repetitive queries, not complex issues.
