Knowledge management and the impact of COVID-19

As the U.S. and countries around the world begin to ease—or at least think about easing—restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, executives at leading knowledge management software and services organizations are reflecting on the lasting impact we can expect. Greater use of cloud services, accelerated digital transformation, a need for the latest and greatest technology, and a generally stronger appreciation for knowledge management are among the key changes being seen.

Building smarter robots: A new era combines content intelligence and RPA

For RPA to progress beyond automating simple repetitive tasks with fixed rules, enterprises will need to turn their RPA robots into "smarter" robots that can process a wide variety of unstructured content

Building Smarter Robots: New Era Combines Content Intelligence and RPA

Robotic process automation (RPA) has gained significant momentum this year. But for RPA to progress beyond automating simple repetitive tasks with fixed rules, enterprises will need to turn their RPA robots into "smarter" robots that can process a wide variety of unstructured content, effectively replacing employees from the manual work of processing information trapped within documents.

Knowledge and AI Augmentation: The Essential Complement to Agent Training in the Modern Contact Center

The answer lies in a modern knowledge management (KM) system, infused with AI, that can guide agents (and customers in the case of self-service) to the answer needle in a haystack of content and through customer conversations. Modern AI-infused KM also addresses all the other issues mentioned earlier: explosion of and constant changes to information, increasing query complexity, next-gen attention span, "all-gen" forgetting curve, "guided" lifestyle, and legacy customer service and knowledge tools.

Three advances in AI and ML: From Awareness to Action and Decision

The possibilities of AI and ML are numerous—we are already witnessing some of its disruptive potential through personalized healthcare, weather predictions, inventory management, smart city design and more. There is one constant that will accelerate these advancements in AI further—the desire to create machines that are domain fungible with the ability to self-learn.

Intelligent Capture Drives AI ROI
