Verint has been awarded an eight-figure contract to increase CX automation for one of the “world’s largest retailers.”
With a remit to improve several business units within the retailer’s contact center, Verint revealed that its Open Platform and team of AI-powered bots were key to helping secure the deal.
In discussing the news, Verint’s Dan Bodner – Chairman and CEO– outlined how he believes his company was able to win over the retailer:
“Customers today are looking to increase CX automation in the contact center and across the enterprise, to elevate the customer experience, and to reduce labor costs. They require a platform that is completely open, centered on behavioral data, and offers AI-powered bots.
This win is another proof point of our CX automation leadership, and we continue to innovate at a very fast pace.
Listed as a bundled SaaS booking, the 39-month contract includes the implementation of Verint Open Platform as well as the delivery of the following AI-powered bots:
- Transcription Bot
- Quality Bot
- Data Insight Bot
- Data Redaction Bot
So, let’s take a more detailed look at the two major aspects of Verint’s contract win.
Verint Open Platform
Launched last summer at the company’s hallmark Engage 2023 event, Verint Open Platform is a CCaaS innovation with the ability to broaden contact centers' access to the wider business, facilitate greater integrations, and empower service teams to utilize a fresh partner ecosystem.
In addition, the open element of the platform means that it will be able to fit seamlessly into the retailer’s existing ecosystem.
Indeed, Verint has confirmed that the new contract will see the retailer utilizing the platform to gather behavioral data from numerous isolated sources into the Verint Data Hub, as well as supporting various AI and data projects.
However, what truly differentiates Verint’s Open platform from its contemporaries is the fact that it starts with workflows and then moves into other operational systems.
Liz Miller, VP & Principal Analyst at Constellation Research, explains why this is so unique, stating that “all other providers have started with the systems and tried to accommodate work.”
