The acquisition is a step for the company to further strengthen its newly launched Zoom Contact Center, which aims to redefine the industry using a unique combination of unified communications and customer experience, and Zoom believes that Solvvy’s team can help them achieve its goal.

Solvvy understands this shift and is the ideal platform to enhance our Zoom Contact Center offering.”

The AI-enabled tool can be used to analyze sales meanings and leads to generate actionable insights, helping sales teams to make better data-driven decisions.
United States-based machine learning startup Solvvy was founded by Justin Betteridge, Mahesh Ram, and Mehdi Samadi in 2013. It is best known for its Solvvy for Support solution that provides a superior self-service platform that boosts customer happiness while lowering expenses.
