Aviso Files 4 New Patents and Bolsters Executive Leadership

Aviso, the only AI Revenue Intelligence platform that closes the loop from predictive forecasting to turn-by-turn deal guidance, has filed for four new patents in its third quarter, and expanded its leadership team with a new slate of Board Advisors, a Senior Vice President of Product, and Chief of Staff to CEO/Vice President of Special Projects, as it enters Q4 with a blockbuster pipeline for its AI guided virtual selling platform.

Aviso’s four new patents focus on advanced machine learning technologies that drastically improve modern revenue teams’ ability to manage deal-level and aggregate-level forecasting during current and future “black swan” scenarios. These recently filed patents also instantiate new ways to automate updates to CRM, ERP, and other database systems with Next Best Actions and personalized user interactions using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. During COVID-19, it has become imperative for businesses to incorporate new signals and algorithms to manage their forecasts, while identifying at-risk and upside deals.

Aviso’s new additions to the leadership team come on the heels of record growth in Q3, expansions across its global customer base including Fortune 500 leaders like Honeywell, key new customer wins including Launch Darkly, a Cloud 100 leader and a leading global Private Equity firm’s portfolio, and increased market awareness among Chief Revenue and Financial Officers on the need for digital revenue intelligence solutions in the new normal.
