New investors include Amazon Alexa Fund, Comcast Ventures and Salesforce Ventures, with existing investors Accel Partners, M12 (formerly Microsoft Ventures), Redpoint Ventures and Upfront Ventures all participating in the oversubscribed round. Customer Momentum Primes Company for Next Stage of Growth A New System of Workflow for Sellers "Sales professionals can no longer afford to get stuck shuffling between different apps looking for the right combination of data and insights," said Luca Felli, Digital Experience and Analytics Leader at Cisco Systems. "Tact.ai's ability to meet sellers within their daily workflow of activities delivers a frictionless, 360-degree experience when most needed – at the 'edge' of customer interactions." Sales teams at Fortune 500 customers are using the Tact AI Assistant as their single pane of glass over customer data scattered across multiple enterprise applications such as CRM, email, calendar, and legacy databases. Tact AI Assistant is currently available on iOS and Android, voice services like Cortana and Alexa, and messaging platforms like Microsoft Teams, WebEx Teams and Slack. Now, Tact.ai is unveiling two new capabilities to its platform: Voice Intelligence™ and an Intelligent Workspace. Voice Intelligence Ushers in the Conersational Enterprise
"Just as people were quick to adopt voice technology in the home, we see an enormous opportunity for voice services in the enterprise," said Paul Bernard, Director of the Alexa Fund. "Tact was one of the first services to launch alongside Alexa for Business last fall, and we're excited to support them as they work toward their vision for a more natural, productive enterprise sales environment." The Intelligent Workspace Removes People Friction Throughout the Seller's Journey Tact.ai's new Intelligent Workspace offering for sales connects the dots across the people, processes, insights and deliverables associated with providing an ideal sales experience for the customer. The Intelligent Workspace acts as a deal room controlled by the seller, blending: persistent messaging, document collaboration, approvals, e-signature functionality, live meeting services and an AI assistant that connects to their application data. They can also rely on voice to coordinate with the people and information they need to productively navigate the seller's journey. "Building a shared understanding inside your company and with customers and partners while traveling can be difficult. Traditional office tools such as email and phone calls can be cumbersome," said Cate Gutowski, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Service at ?Panasonic Avionics Corporation. "You need to be able to quickly review multiple data sets, identify problems, agree on modifications and coordinate with multiple departments to get deals done -- all while on the go. Tact.ai's Voice Intelligence capabilities deliver this type of experience better than most." With increased headcount, expanded locations, new investor-support and a product portfolio built for the Intelligent Edge, Tact.ai is poised to meet the growing demand among Fortune 500 enterprises for its Voice Intelligence capabilities. "Sales professionals need a way to control their data and coordinate with people, whether on phone, smart speaker, or in-car," said Chuck Ganapathi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tact.ai. "We're pleased to work with world-class investors and global companies like Comcast, Amazon, and Salesforce to execute on our vision of a conversational and voice-driven enterprise for sales teams."
