"All businesses can be disrupted, and Bluewolf AI Now(TM) gives CSPs an intelligent, end-to-end digital experience that completely transforms customer engagement."

Bluewolf AI Now(TM) for Telecommunications provides the following capabilities:

    --  Augmented Customer Intelligence Using IBM Watson APIs - The solution
        incorporates Watson Conversation and Personality Insights technologies
        to enhance customer engagement across multiple channels, including web,
        chat, mobile and social. Customers who engage online via chat will be
        able to interact with a chatbot designed to provide information on their
        current services, such as data usage, voice consumption, payment
        history; and deliver personalized offers and targeted promotions. When
        needed, Watson will equip agents with insights that can help them better
        interact with each customer, increasing satisfaction, helping reduce
        call resolution and order processing times, and boosting their
        cross-sell and upsell opportunities.
    --  Communications Industry Cloud CRM & BSS Applications, Powered by Vlocity
        and Salesforce Einstein - Built natively and additively on the
        Salesforce platform, Vlocity Communications delivers Enterprise Product
        Catalog, CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote), Contract Management, Order
        Management, and Retail Clienteling applications and pre-built business
        processes, that help CSPs deliver a differentiated customer experience
        and operate with increased business agility. Sales Cloud Einstein Lead
        Scoring and Opportunity Insights prioritize the highest value leads,
        giving CSPs the intelligence to determine which customers to call first
        and next. Service Cloud Einstein Supervisor Insights empowers call
        center agents with key insight to improve customer satisfaction,
        identifying the most timely cases to focus on based on customer profile,
        sentiment, or case escalation.
    --  Real-Time Charging and Billing with MATRIXX Digital Commerce Platform -
        MATRIXX enables always-on customer engagement and instant invoicing for
        any product or service. For example, if a CSP customer is traveling
        within multiple countries, where country-specific carrier charges apply,
        Bluewolf AI Now(TM) allows for billing through one carrier, regardless
        of how many new networks are being charged.
    --  Mobile First and Omni-channel Experience - Native iOS mobile
        applications provide CSPs the ability to tailor customer-facing apps,
        customer service and sales management, with full offline capabilities
        anytime, anywhere. Customers receive access to personalized offers,
        on-click purchasing, and access to on-demand content, directly from
        carriers.

Bluewolf and IBM have delivered end-to-end Salesforce innovation for telecommunication companies including T-Mobile, Vodafone Hutchison Australia, and TELUS Communications, a leading Canadian national telecommunications company.
