Complimentary webcast explains how data and AI can be leveraged to improve customer engagement

Parks Associates announced it will co-host the webcast “Support Strategies for an IoT World” with SUTHERLAND today, Thursday, June 8, at 1 p.m. CT. The complimentary webcast will examine support strategies to leverage consumer data, analytics, and innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) to create optimal and personalized user experiences (UX).

“The IoT creates innumerable business benefits, including long-term efficiencies in operations, customer support, product development, and marketing, but the consumer experience is key to driving adoption and evolution of IoT,” said Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. “To realize these benefits, companies must provide high-level experiences that respond to user expectations and demands.”

The webcast features experts from Parks Associates and SUTHERLAND addressing how advanced analytics can help optimize business processes to ultimately drive improvements in product development and customer service. Webcast participants include:

• Ted Kassiotis, Sr. Director, Solutions – Technology Vertical, Sutherland
• Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates
