Our take
The volume of communications in the workplace is going up. Not only do people send emails, but now employees are communicating all day through internal chat platforms like Slack. Behavox helps companies make sense of the vast amount of data being produced from all of these messages.
The company uses AI and machine learning to aggregate and analyse large volumes of unstructured communications. The data produced can be used to create actionable insights on employees' performance and also help risk and compliance teams to identify bad actors.
Regulation is high for financial services companies, and it's likely to grow in other industries, increasing Behavox's potential addressable market. The company has continued to develop its offering, with a number of updates released over the years, keeping the platform up-to-date with developing tech.
