NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IPsoft’s AI platform, Amelia, is recognized by industry analyst firm Forrester as a recommended product, in a new report published today1. Across ten evaluation criteria for virtual agents, IPsoft, the digital labor company, was the only company to achieve eight differentiated rankings.
IPsoft is strong in all core AI categories. These include machine learning, intent engine, dialogue management and natural language understanding (NLU). It is the only company to attain differentiated ranking in all four elements. The report explains that to truly meet a need for enterprise-grade customer service, solutions: “must be able to understand what a customer speaks or types, discern their intent, respond in a conversational manner, and act on a customer’s behalf.”
According to the report’s authors, IPsoft goes beyond providing FAQ assistance. “IPsoft fits companies looking to automate end-to-end customer-facing processes. IPsoft’s robust NLU and dialogue management, married to enterprise-grade security, make it a top pick for companies looking to do more than just answer questions,” says the report.
“Having received the highest number of differentiated rankings, we believe that Forrester’s evaluation singles out IPsoft’s strength in AI capabilities that deliver the highest impact on customer experience,” said Edwin van Bommel, IPsoft’s Chief Cognitive Officer. “With the recent launch of our latest evolution of Amelia, we are on track to build out our multichannel capabilities so that customers can continue the same conversation over a range of devices and media. In parallel, our new analytics capability will tap into huge reserves of company data to support better real time decisions.”
