What were the key takeaways from your discussions at FinTech LIVE? 

β€œWe primarily discussed real AI use cases. We explored the benefits and challenges of deploying AI, trying to bring these concepts to life. 

β€œWe examined how industries are using it, what results they're achieving, and where they're facing obstacles. 

β€œFor those unable to implement AI, we discussed why that might be, what problems they're encountering, and how they might overcome these challenges.”

Walk us through some of the projects Concentrix Catalyst is working on that leverage AI. 

β€œWe have approximately 180,000 advisers and 500 data engineers using AI daily to service our clients and customers. 

β€œWe're currently working on a product suite called IX. The first product, iXHello, is helping companies with an out-of-the-box solution for virtual assistants powered by generative AI. 

β€œWe're focused on making it easier for companies to get started by addressing security challenges, and we're bringing more products to market to support both customers and employees.”

What are some of Concentrix Catalyst's goals for the next 12-18 months? 

β€œIn the consulting division, our main aspirations centre on growth. While we currently support financial services and fintech extensively, we aim to expand deeper into other sectors such as healthcare and utilities. 

β€œWe want to ensure our clients understand how we can help them with various challenges, particularly from a customer journey perspective. Even with our AI initiatives, we're keen to anchor everything around customer experience and customer journeys.”
