The new partnership solution is focused on driving business outcomes for clients – growth in sales and revenue, improvements in customer service Net Promoter Scores (NPS) and resolution rate, as well as cost transformation.

"We are excited to join forces with Conversable to provide AI-powered messaging technology to transform customer experiences driven by digital innovations and key design principles," said Partha DeSarkar, Global CEO, HGS. "HGS's approach has always been to create win-win solutions by optimizing the customer experience for consumers and delivering positive business impact for our clients.

This turnkey solution mitigates the need for maintaining licenses and software, or for managing human resources, allowing bots and brains to work together for better outcomes.
