New York, NY, April 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Edison Awards, celebrating 30 years of honoring the best in innovation and excellence in the development of new products and services, announced last week that VoiceBase Predictive Insights , an industry leading, cloud-based speech analytics solution was voted a Bronze Winner for innovation at the April 20th event at The Capitale in New York City.

Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest honors a company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the world, garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents, and made him a household name around the world. In the last seven years, Edison Achievement Awards have been granted to individuals such as Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.
VoiceBase Predictive Insights enables customers to surface a deeper understanding of spoken information. By leveraging machine learning and big data within the voice channel, VoiceBase automatically detects complex events from what is said, such as the client’s intent or an agent’s behavior. Automatically scoring every sales call for example as a “hot lead”, “first-time caller” and “non-prospect”, or detecting “potential churn” and “rude agent” in support calls will save businesses billions.
“Our judges recognized VoiceBase Predictive Insights as a true innovator out of the many products in its category,” said Frank Bonafilia, executive director of the Edison Awards.

These were chosen as the “best of the best” by 3,000 of the world’s top senior business executives, academics, and innovation professionals.
