New Offering Makes Delivering Automation Easier to Design, Create, and Deploy

CARY, NC April 7, 2015 - Cicero Inc. (BB: CICN), a leading provider of activity intelligence and improvement software for the back office and contact center, today announced the public availability of Cicero Discovery Automation, delivering the benefits of our integration technology, using 20% to 30% less effort and time to design, create, and deploy them. Leveraging the features of Cicero's desktop analytics technology, the new offering adds automation capabilities that allow organizations to quickly and easily remove barriers to employee productivity and deliver a better customer experience.

Cicero Discovery Automation quickly reduces redundant, manual activity by eliminating copy and paste within and between applications, automating common tasks such as customer look-up and search, and delivering single sign-on. These improvements streamline processes and reduce the employee effort and time it takes to handle each customer interaction in the contact center and each transaction in the back office.

Easy-to-Collect Activity Intelligence + Automation

Desktop activity intelligence provides a unique set of data by capturing, storing, and reporting activities and events across applications to map employee effort and highlight areas of improvement in business processes, compliance, training, and application utilization. Cicero Discovery Automation starts with this same insight and then adds automation based on intelligence.

Easy-to-See Results

Cicero Discovery Automation provides an iterative automation approach, allowing organizations to prioritize improvements, analyze the results based on real-world usage data, make adjustments and then roll out changes.

Easier to Use for Developers and Business Analysts

The new Discovery Automation Studio enables you to examine an application interface and selectively access specific information at a meta-level without requiring a deep knowledge of that application's internal code. Once you have selected the information of interest and created your automated process definitions, you automatically deploy the solution to end users. The new Studio:

  • Does not require additional investment in third party tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Abstracts data allowing the loose coupling of applications
  • Allows you to transform and federate data between applications as well as the ability to set conditions
  • Provides an easy-to-use interface to configure and deploy a solution.

"Cicero has pioneered technology that has streamlined business process and increased efficiency and efficacy for enterprise-level organizations," stated John Broderick, CEO at Cicero. "The launch of Cicero Discovery Automation reflects a big leap forward in making process intelligence and automation initiatives easier than ever to design and deploy for our clients and partners alike."
