Five9

At the Goldman Sachs Communacopia+Tech conference, Five9 announced the shift to an integrated “Humantic CX Platform” that unites AI agents, human agents and digital orchestration. The AI business reached an annualized run rate of more than USD 150 million in Q2/2024 and grew 78% year over year; AI now represents 15% of subscription revenue and shows very high gross margins. The company reported a large contract worth USD 100 million, organizational restructuring to support the platform strategy, and expects AI to grow faster than the core CCaaS business going forward. Five9 sees substantial market potential in cloud- and AI-driven customer experience solutions but warned of near-term restructuring costs and longer-term automation pressure on human jobs. » Mais em de.investing.com
