“Chatbots are the future”, however cliché it may sound but they are! While they can add enormous value to the business, there are factors if not considered OR implemented well, could danger the whole objective of having them at work!

Legacy Backends and Databases

Lot of us are familiar with one of the most popular responses Chatbots give: “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand your request.” – Even before training your bot for the right responses, key is integrating them with the backends – which would draw these responses (In this case, not that response)!

Bots can only be of a real value if the conversation is actionable!  More the backends, more tedious would be to integrate them with the Bot by writing those lengthy lines of code. Look for those ‘Low OR No Code development platforms’ which can shorten the overall development time and bring the ease while integrating with multiple backends.

Unified Interface and Experience

With its intuitive feel, unified experience and ease of onboarding customers through any channels makes Chatbots more preferred way to converse and transact than web OR mobile app. However, more the flexibility bigger is the challenge to create and manage these multiple interfaces. Enterprise need to adopt the platform and technologies which would facilitate faster deployment and management.

Select a platform that asks minimal codes and hence minimal management. Even if team are managing web, mobile app OR bots – all should be managed via single code and deployment across multiple platforms such as; Web, WhatsApp OR Messenger should be easy.

IT Dependency  

Gone are those days when deploying the newer technologies would also ask for deploying resources with varied technical skills. Significance of chatbot relies on how soon one can react to customer queries and most importantly on changing market dynamics (or competition).

As a business leader the priority should always be to reduce the dependency on IT. Line of business has to collaborate and contribute to the changes get the most optimum ROI on Chatbot deployments.
