Our take
Aisera is an intelligent process automation platform startup that automates tasks, actions, and workflows for customers using AI tech. Thus providing its users with cost-cutting opportunities, while boosting productivity.
With the increased interest in AI solutions, plenty of competitors are vying for a position in the lucrative and expanding workflow automation market. From startups like WorkFusion, and strong contender UiPath, to larger giants like Microsoft and IBM, Aisera is under pressure to distinguish itself. However, as it is the world's first AI-driven EX and CX service platform, the company has seen an unprecedented 300% YOY growth.
Aisera counts on a 75 million strong user base, including big-name enterprise clients like Zoom, McAfee, and Autodesk. This demonstrable success in helping large companies accommodate growth without compromising on customer service will prove vital in winning significant market share. Its accelerated focus on strategic partnerships, which currently include the likes of Microsoft, Salesforce, and Slack, and further product development is likely to see Aisera continue gaining momentum.
