France’s Teleperformance<\/a> signed a $185 million (roughly Rs. 697 crore) deal with Microsoft<\/a> to launch its proprietary TP GenAI, the outsourcing group said on Tuesday, ahead of its artificial intelligence investor day.<\/p>\n

Teleperformance will host on Wednesday a virtual meeting with its AI experts to let investors peek behind the curtains of its efforts in the AI race.<\/p>\n

The company claims generative AI \u2014 algorithms such as ChatGPT<\/a> that can be used to create new content including audio, text and simulations \u2014 will boost efficiency, accuracy and customer experience.<\/p>\n

Teleperformance, which employs 410,000 staff in 170 countries, hosts conference calls, maintains pay and salary accounts, and provides automated translations to clients.<\/p>\n

Using Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI, TP GenAI will “help automate simple, low-value tasks and enable our staff to focus on what matters most,” the firm said in a statement, adding that some of its existing AI-powered tools are already based on Azure technology.<\/p>\n

It said that a pilot of TP GenAI has seen up to a 25 percent reduction in call handling time, a 20 percent reduction in email response times, a 90 percent improvement in accurately addressing customer needs, a 35 percent increase in sales conversions, and near real-time insights on customer interactions.<\/p>\n

As digital developments are rapidly changing the call centre industry, Teleperformance appointed on Monday its president of transformation Bhupender Singh as deputy chief executive.<\/p>\n

This follows the agreement to buy rival Majorel for EUR 3 billion (roughly Rs. 26 crore) in April, which will make it the sector’s top actor with annual revenue of EUR 12 billion (roughly Rs. 1,07,514 crore).<\/p>\n

Teleperformance said at the time that it predicts that 20 percent to 30 percent of its processes will be automated within the next three years.<\/p>\n
