After the pitches, the jury consisting of the Group’s members and invited experts, announced the winners - Zvonobot and iVoice. They will finalize their solutions together with FESCO's experts and launch them for implementation in FESCO.
"For us, participation in the contest was an experiment. Currently, we solve all our IT tasks using system integrators and enterprise solutions (development aimed at solving business problems). We needed a breath of fresh air and we got it thanks to all the participants", – said Michael Semin, Director of IT Department of FESCO.
The project Zvonobot is a call-centre robot-operator able to recognize answers in telephone conversations. The second winner, iVoice Platform, combines available solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, speech recognition, telecommunications for voice assistants and bots design without R&D or programming.
