      'Siri, Boost My Sales' … Voice-Activated Tech to 'Revolutionize' Orgs

      Thanks to popular virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, voice-activated technology has emerged as mainstream in our homes. But top enterprise decision-makers are now looking closely at these solutions—as well as moving forward with significant adoption plans—to improve the customer experience and increase sales, according to a recent survey from Globant. The resulting “2018 Voice-Activated Technology Business Guide” report reveals that organizations expect voice-activated tech to improve customer service responsiveness and connections, in addition to searches. Nearly 680 U.S. senior-level decision-makers took part in the research. The following slide show features highlights from the survey, with charts provided courtesy of Globant.
