ACT and Tethr announce the signing of a multi-year agreement for Tethr’s communications intelligence platform to improve business performance for ACT and its clients
Berwyn, PA, February 15, 2018 – The new agreement will help ACT transform its contact centers into insight centers with Tethr’s distinctive combination of machine learning and a decade of Fortune 2000 best practice research on customer loyalty. Tethr will provide a deeper understanding of the context and value of conversations between customers and agents, improving ACT’s own operational effectiveness, as well as driving top and bottom-line performance improvements for its clients.
“Tethr has taken an age-old problem and solved it. Until now, contact centers could listen to only 1-2% of call traffic due to high effort and cost restraints. Now, with Tethr, organizations can understand not only what, but why customers feel the way they do,” said Hunter Croft, Executive Vice President for ACT. “The platform unlocks the context of each conversation and how behaviors that are present – or absent – drive economic and customer experience outcomes. The speed and simplicity of gaining these insights is what really sets the platform apart from anything we’ve seen.”
ACT serves a variety of leading brands and agencies in the private and public sectors through its network of over 6,500 agents within 15+ global contact centers.
“ACT has a tremendous reputation in the market and recognized the need and opportunity to differentiate its core services through the use of emerging technologies like machine learning,” said Rick Tober, President and Chief Operating Officer of Tethr. “BPO firms around the globe are trying to deal with commoditization, and the economic and competitive pressures that accompany that trend. We are thrilled to partner with ACT to spearhead the movement toward solving these issues through AI-enabled communication intelligence.”
