Together, Cogito and Five9 offer Aviva Canada unparalleled live guidance and deep insights into customer and employee behavior. In today’s remote work environment, this relationship provides the unique ability to scale empathy and offers guidance quickly and easily, no matter where employees are working. By enhancing the employee experience and offering them the tools to be successful, organizations like Aviva Canada can expect to experience increased customer loyalty and advocacy – because engaged and happy employees make for happier customers.

“Over the last year, my leadership team and I have spent a lot of time to understand how we can better support our people and to determine what tools they need to be successful. And they’ve told us they want technology to help guide conversations with customers,” said Bryant Vernon, Chief Claims Officer at Aviva Canada. “Cogito, integrated with Five9, will not only help us maintain and build employee culture in a remote world, but also enable us to improve customer experience with more empathic and personalized interactions. This is perfectly aligned to our customer-centric strategy and will ultimately help us adapt to evolving customer and employee needs more quickly.”

During the moments that matter, such as during a claim, where customers are particularly vulnerable and looking for a knowledgeable representative to help resolve their issues, the smallest nuances in vocabulary, tone, pace and cadence of the employee’s voice can impact the customer’s experience and perception of the call. Cogito’s AI Coaching System will provide Aviva Canada’s claims team with consistent coaching, empowering them to make these moments more positive.

This innovative and differentiated offering will set a new standard for the use of cloud AI in the modern contact center.”

To develop and integrate the offering, Cogito leveraged Five9 VoiceStream, a developer-friendly, modern cloud-to-cloud real-time media streaming API enabling frictionless integrations with partners and securely protecting customers’ voice data. Five9 VoiceStream helps customers, partners and system integrators leverage the power of real-time voice and add a broad range of value-added applications on top of the Five9 platform.

“We are thrilled to be working alongside Cogito to improve customer engagement at Aviva Canada,” said Dan Burkland, President of Five9. “Our integrated intelligent cloud contact center software and Cogito’s AI Coaching System will drive empathy in every interaction and elevate the capabilities of all representatives.”
