New York, NY, USA, Sept. 23, 2020 -- LivePerson, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPSN), a global provider in Conversational AI, announced the launch of Performance Optimizer™, a new, AI-powered tool for brands to measure and manage the health of their conversational operations.

As brands adapt to changing consumer preferences and the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, they've increasingly turned to AI-powered messaging to connect with customers on the channels they already love using to communicate with family and friends. In the wake of these changes, a new set of KPIs has come to dominate reporting in contact centers worldwide, replacing outmoded metrics for voice calls and traditional chat sessions with ones that account for asynchronous conversational interactions, which take place when and where consumers want.

Performance Optimizer is designed for brands seeking to understand these critical KPIs and the overall health of their conversational operations, which has become even more difficult as contact centers continue to operate remotely or at reduced capacity.

"Drawing on our uniquely deep data moat and years of experience measuring and improving conversational performance, we created the 4Es to help contact center leaders more effectively design and optimize resource utilization, training, and bots and automation," said Melanie Longdon, Senior Vice President, Transformation at LivePerson. "By understanding and delivering on a simple framework like the 4Es, brands can create and improve the high-impact consumer experiences that drive loyalty."

Travel website Hotwire improved its conversational operations in using the 4E Framework. Not only was the team able to add a new messaging channel without any additional resources, but they were also able to achieve better Efficiency, Effectiveness, Effort, and Emotion results.

"We're always optimizing our conversational operations to make sure Hotwire customers get the most out of our faster, easier booking and exclusive deals," said Everett John Garcia, Director, Customer Service at Hotwire. "The 4E Framework has given us a better way to understand our most important metrics and achieve our customer service goals, then aim even higher."

"Just as we at LivePerson have analyzed our decades of conversational data to build and optimize our AI, brands that understand and use their conversational data to the fullest will be best positioned to deliver outstanding customer experiences," said Robert LoCascio, founder and CEO of LivePerson. "Performance Optimizer takes the guesswork out of contact center management and serves up everything you need to know to benchmark, measure, and improve — all in a simple-to-understand, self-service dashboard anyone can use."
