At the Engineering The Customer Experience Roadshow, a panel discussion between Matt Robinson of GoCardless and Andrew Peck of Citigroup explored the pros and cons of building vs buying a communications platform. Both companies opted for Twilio to power their customer experience, with Matt implementing a custom call queue system to improve support efficiency and Andrew highlighting the importance of flexibility in a contact center to accommodate growing customer bases.
