In July of 2009, ethosIQ was launched and we received our first contract within thirty days by an American multinational banking firm that engages in global investment banking, investment management, securities, and other financial services, primarily with institutional clients. In 2010, ethosIQ launched the core product called “Customer Engagement Platform” (CEP) which allows for the collection of disparate data in real-time. This includes email, chat, Kiosk, time clocks, voice calls, mobility applications, backend solutions and Social Media applications. In 2011, ethosIQ released its analytics tool, ethosAnalytics. In 2015, the Customer Engagement Platform breaks the 100,000 agent that are monitored while processing billions of events daily.
