Verint®
Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT), The Customer Engagement Company™,
today announced the launch of AI Blueprint™, a
patent-protected conversation analysis system that identifies
intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) use cases and accelerates
automation. AI Blueprint unlocks the power of conversational data and
returns specific insights for achieving an organization’s unique
business goals. The system then delivers a “blueprint” of precisely how
and where businesses can get started with AI or continue to grow their
AI capabilities, reducing risk and leading to improved operational
efficiency and faster ROI.
“Businesses today need a well-defined roadmap of the resources required
to implement an intelligent assistant successfully. AI Blueprint fills
this need,” said analyst Dan Miller, founder of Opus Research. “This
unique conversation analysis system offers organizations a package of
key elements and resources to speed the time to value today and in the
future.”
While AI adoption across the enterprise continues
to grow, HFS Research* projects that, by 2020, more
than 50% of enterprise adopters will face AI fatigue. Making
informed decisions about how to leverage AI effectively remains
challenging, costly, and time consuming. Many businesses invest in AI
systems that don’t serve their underlying business needs, and these
systems are soon abandoned.
“Understanding precisely how AI can be leveraged to support specific
business goals is an ongoing industry challenge,” said Tracy Malingo,
SVP of product strategy at Verint. “At Verint, our chief goal is
enabling organizations to effectively automate areas in the business
with the greatest potential for ROI. AI Blueprint helps businesses
understand the right place to start when it comes to implementing AI.”
The AI Blueprint contains a simple yet effective two-factor analysis:
1. Leveraging AI and machine learning for analysis, classification, and
labeling of any company’s structured and unstructured conversational
data.
2. Determining whether the organization could benefit from deploying AI.
If AI Blueprint identifies that there is a business need for AI, the
analysis system returns comprehensive and customized recommendations. It
identifies which use cases will generate the most business value,
develops a range of measurable key performance indicators adapted to the
business goals, and generates a roadmap for implementing and/or further
developing AI-powered IVAs in ways that ensure long-term success.
Thirty-one
percent of business executives believe that IVAs are the AI-powered
solutions likely to have the largest impact on their business. The
results that AI Blueprint has seen with initial pilot customers further
validates this finding.
Through AI Blueprint’s unique two-factor analysis approach, enterprises
have seen:
- 83% deflection in live chat volume.
- 44% cost reduction in the first year.
- $1 million saved in customer service email costs in a single year.
-
50% decrease in the amount of time it takes a customer to reset a
password. - 27% reduction in live-chat costs.
In total, these benefits can accelerate the ROI of the IVA platform from
months to weeks.
“IVAs are the future of customer engagement,” said Verint’s Michael
Southworth, general manager, intelligent self-service. “Yet delivering
exceptional customer experience is like hitting a moving target because
every business is unique. AI Blueprint helps ensure that an IVA strategy
is consistently delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving
operational efficiencies.”
