In this episode, the Hallway Conversations team sits down with Devin Rader of Twilio to discuss the myriad of ways that companies are leveraging voice, SMS, and other telephony techniques to extend their engagement with their customers and users.  Whether its building your own IVR system or just pushing notifications to your users via SMS, the tools and technologies available to enrich your software with telephony capabilities have never been more accessible!

Not everyone has a computer, but (nearly) everyone has a phone — don’t miss this chance to hear about some of the powerful scenarios for extending your software’s capabilities into this exciting area of communications!
