When to look beyond Luware

Rule it out if

  • Hard multi-client isolation/shared-agent economics are mandatory and two-client proof fails.

Be careful if

  • One native WFM/QM/recording control plane is mandatory.
  • All processing/support/AI/channel data must remain in one contractual jurisdiction.
  • Buyer cannot own Microsoft, carrier, digital, workflow and AI support boundaries.
  • Virtual Users/tools will execute consequential transactions without a mature action-integrity program.
  • Required concurrency/surge/topology exceeds published local limits without load proof.
