Collaboration Offers Access to AI-powered Virtual Solutions that Improve Chatbot Efficiency and the Customer Experience

[24]7.ai, a leader for intent-driven customer engagement solutions, announced that it is partnering with Blue Prism on a new joint offering that allows [24]7 AIVA customers to use Blue Prism’s Digital Workforce to efficiently automate hard-to-access back and front office systems. By combining [24]7.ai AI-powered virtual agents/chatbots with Blue Prism’s Digital Workforce, [24]7.ai users can automate processes faster, reduce response times and deliver a more satisfying customer experience.

“For enterprise-class chatbots and virtual agents to provide interactions that are truly meaningful, they need access to enterprise IT systems, including CRM data,” said Scott Horn, Chief Marketing Officer of [24]7.ai. “With this partnership, we’re dramatically reducing the time and cost to deploy the worlds most widely deployed conversational chatbot technology with the market leader in robotic process automation (RPA) software.”

Large enterprises possess a wealth of data on their clients, which holds enormous potential to be used to provide consumers with a better customer experience, however, that data is often difficult to access because it often resides in disparate, legacy systems. Through this partnership, it is now possible for enterprises to access this data and analyze it using artificial intelligence, making it now possible to anticipate consumers’ wants and needs.

The new joint offering enables [24]7 AIVA users to process a greater range of transactional capabilities, which results in faster resolution of complaints and inquiries, quick escalation to live agents when needed, better customer engagements and a boost to agent productivity.
