Examples of prior projects
Conversation computing
The Extreme Blue team developed a solution to facilitate how call center agents interact with a knowledge management system. The new system is able to "listen in" to calls and assist the helpdesk agent with finding solutions for callers' questions and problems.
The end result are a more transparent experience between an agent, the customer, and the system - improving the quality of calls, saving valuable call time, and increasing the likelihood of upselling products. The team has been working closely with the management of a Dutch banking client's call center during every phase of the program.
Context Aware Search
A problem with standard searching techniques (like google) is that they do not take the context of a search query into consideration. Context Aware Search is our solution for this problem. We use the concept of Context Aware Search to determine relevant aspects for a search query. Our solution takes a high level (and thus complex to answer) query, like "road construction A15 Rotterdam Maasvlakte", and determines relevant aspects to this query. The searching for the relevant aspects and information sources is done using intelligent agent solution. This agent solution uses a marketplace analogy to create context.
