Award recognizes Jacada’s unique, hybrid approach to robot and human intelligent automation with its Smart Agent Assistant

ATLANTA, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jacada, Inc., provider of Autonomous CX solutions designed to automate customer service operations, and improve the customer experience, announced that it has been selected as the winner in the Automating Customer Support category of the 2019 UK National Innovation Awards for its Smart Agent Assistant solution for contact centers.  This cutting-edge virtual assistant for agents rounds out Jacada’s Intelligent Agent Engagement portfolio and strengthens their leadership position in the Customer Service Automation space.

"Bringing cognitive solutions to front line agents represents a long overdue paradigm shift that is changing the way our enterprise clients interact with their customers,” explains Scott Merritt, VP Global Head of Automation, "We are truly excited to see the early interest and adoption of this innovation and are honored to be recognized by the Directors’ Club for this award.”
