TTEC Completes Acquisition of VoiceFoundry, Cementing the Foundation for Significant Future Growth with Amazon Connect

SYDNEY, 9th November 2020 -- TTEC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC) a leading global Customer Experience as a Service (CXaaS) partner for many of the world’s most iconic and disruptive brands, announced it has completed the acquisition of VoiceFoundry, a global partner of Amazon Web Services, creating an end-to-end CX delivery solution for Amazon Connect. The Australian and ASEAN parts of the acquisition closed this week following the acquisition of VoiceFoundry’s U.S. and European operations in August.

The TTEC acquisition of VoiceFoundry:

• Adds Amazon Connect to TTEC’s HumanifyTM Cloud, providing TTEC’s current and future clients with the optionality of AWS’s contact centre capabilities using a unified per user per month (PUPM) offering for access to Humanify’s enhanced CX applications to complement AWS’s services.
• Extends TTEC’s HumanifyTM Cloud to Amazon Connect. Provides clients access to an enterprise-grade API integration and deployment platform, including Humanify’s intelligent administration, orchestration, analytics, and automation solutions, that enables rapid deployment, reduces risk and improves speed to value at global scale.
• Will leverage the global scale and enterprise client footprint of the TTEC Engage business to offer the enhanced CXaaS offering while TTEC Digital maintains separate and dedicated AWS and Cisco sales teams focused on driving client value through the Amazon’s and Cisco’s partner ecosystem.
• TTEC’s HumanifyTM Cloud will now seamlessly leverage the power of Salesforce’s Service Cloud + Amazon Connect to offer out-of-the-box contact centre solutions sold by Salesforce.

“There is a fundamental shift happening across the industry. Rather than relying directly on customer experience SaaS providers, clients are turning to CX orchestrators and journey partners to build end-to-end customer-centric solutions in the cloud,” says Jonathan Lerner, President of TTEC Digital. “VoiceFoundry’s addition to TTEC Digital provides speed, agility, and expands our CX Marketplace with AWS’s cloud-first solutions that can accelerate digital CX transformation for our clients.”

VoiceFoundry is an industry leader in deploying Amazon Connect as well as other AWS services that focus on creating intelligent interactions across all engagement channels. VoiceFoundry is uniquely focused on helping large enterprise clients improve customer engagement while maximizing the benefits of AWS at scale. The acquisition adds 50+ blue chip companies to TTEC’s global account base, primarily in the public sector, e-commerce, financial services, travel, healthcare, and insurance industries.

VoiceFoundry APAC CEO Sarel Roets, who will join TTEC as Vice President, Professional Services – VoiceFoundry Regional Lead, emphasised the strength of the combined platforms by stating, “In TTEC we found the perfect partner for delivering end-to-end CX solutions that allow us to better design, build and operate amazing customer and employee experiences for clients at large enterprise scale. Our combined strengths help enhance the overall offering to our customers. TTEC adds depth to our managed services accounts without slowing down the speed at which VoiceFoundry can implement Amazon Connect, which is one of AWS’s fastest-growing services.”

With locations in Australia, Singapore, the U.S. and U.K, VoiceFoundry’s expertise is focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language automation, chatbots, CTI/CRM, enterprise integration, user-experience design, analytics, omnichannel engagement, and workforce optimization.
