“We are witnessing a wave of innovation in the contact center,” said Jonathan Rosenberg, CTO, and Head of AI, Five9. “We’ve seen increased adoption of voice biometrics, agent assistants, sentiment analysis, and real-time speech analytics – all showing the need for the real-time audio content of calls.

“Customer-centric organizations have struggled to establish cost-effective and impactful methods to empower frontline employees. Traditional coaching techniques often rely on delayed feedback based on the analysis of a limited number of interactions, restricting value and objectivity,” states Marty Pitkow, VP of Growth, Channels, and Partners at Cogito. “Using the Five9 real-time VoiceStream API, Cogito systematically coaches agents in-the-moment on every call, improving agent-customer interactions; raising the bar for service excellence.”

“As leading experts in voice biometrics, we are always looking for breakthrough ways to bring new value to our customers,” states Pat Carroll, CEO, ValidSoft. “We are delighted and privileged to be one of the first partners to build apps with the Five9 VoiceStream API, whereby we can now deliver voice identity assurance to companies who wish to eliminate customer friction without any compromise on security. The customer only needs to speak, there is no need for any other additional authentication methods, all achieved with unparalleled real-time accuracy and precision.”
