The 2022 Opus Research “Decision Makers’ Guide to Enterprise Intelligent Assistants” presents a comprehensive assessment of 21 enterprise-grade Intelligent Assistant solution providers bringing Conversational AI to support customer care, self-service, employee assistance, messaging and device control.

Callan Schebella, EVP of Product Management, Five9 said, “We believe companies will see the biggest performance gains when humans and machines collaborate and complement each other’s capabilities. To help businesses move beyond simple, siloed automation and harness this ‘collaborative intelligence,’ Five9 is delivering solutions that make AI persistent throughout the customer and agent experience, along with tools that make it easier for contact center teams to build, deploy, train and derive insights from the AI. We are honored to be recognized by Opus Research for our approach.”
