Helping Businesses cut Costs, increase Productivity and drive Revenue: Yseop

“Founded in 2008, Yseop is a global leader trusted by companies across the Fortune Global 500.”

Yseop is an enterprise software company that provides an Artificial Intelligence platform which allows customers to develop AI applications autonomously. The company works predominantly in the Business Intelligence and Customer Experience markets. Yseop’s software automates reasoning, intelligent dialoging, and writing through two product lines: Yseop Smart BI and Yseop Customer Experience. Both products boost revenue, reduce costs, and increase productivity.

Yseop Smart Business Intelligence
In today’s real-time and Big Data-focused marketplace, manually writing reports to draw insight from data is too slow and too costly. Yseop Smart Business Intelligence automates written report generation, turning data into narrative, explaining not only what the data means but what actions to take and why.

Yseop’s unique, patented system is the only software on the market that can clearly explain its reasoning process in reports in multiple written languages (currently in English, Spanish, French & German) and in real time.

As a complement to a dashboard, to write business intelligence analytics, reports and more, Yseop Smart BI cuts costs, increases capacity and drives productivity. With this software, thousands of users across the Fortune 500 are already saving millions of dollars and making informed real-time decisions. Yseop Smart BI is increasingly used in Business Analytics and Report Writing.

Yseop Smart Customer Experience
Yseop’s Smart Customer Experience allows for expert customer service no matter the channel: online, on the phone, on mobile or face to face. It does this by turning any computer into a performance-enhancing smart machine that seamlessly deploys your company’s best practices at scale. It partners with sales teams, customer service representatives, and business advisors. It reasons, dialogs, and expresses its conclusions clearly in multiple languages, so the right customer gets the right advice at the right time.

With this smart machine, clients report sales soared by 20% overnight, as well as causing drastic reductions in customer churn. The company’s smart customer experience solutions include products such as Smart Sales Assistant, Yseop for Compliance, OmniChannel Smart Advisor and Smart Online Concierge.

Yseop Savvy
Savvy is a plug-in for Qlik, Excel and other dashboards and data visualization software. It automatically explains what the charts, data and analysis mean and writes insights like a human being. Before Savvy, BI Managers were not seeing the ROI they wanted because BI users didn’t have the time to draw insight from complex dashboards. Savvy saves users time and increases performance.

Geographies
The company’s headquarters is located in New York, USA. It also has other offices in Dallas, TX, USA; London, UK, Paris and Lyon in France; Las Candes, Chile; and Sydney, Australia.

Future Outlook
By the year 2020, Yseop envisages to transform every computer, smart phone, and tablet to a Smart Machine, able to reason, dialog intelligently, and express conclusions and recommendations in natural language.
