CVP as a Powerful and Flexible Self Service Solution
From a self service perspective, CVP offers a much more flexible and scalable solution for more sophisticated, dynamically personalized applications that can be integrated with a customer’s existing web infrastructure. IP-IVR is usually a better fit for smaller, single site IVR and CVP is much better if you have a larger/more complex IVR and also if you have a distributed self service requirement e.g multiple branch locations. CVP also leverages Java and Eclipse and other open standard technologies such as web services etc. which may be important to the customer.

- Choose CVP if there are any legacy PBX's
- Choose CVP if queuing at the edge would be beneficial (multiple sites)
