Key Findings & Highlights:
Jacada is an older name within the RPA sector, as the firm was founded in 1990, and one that has its roots deep in the automation of information technology. To give a sense of perspective on this, at one point its primary focus was on automating and 'Web-ifying' green-screen mainframe applications on AS/400s.Today, the Jacada roadmap is verymuch about shared services and enabling a single instance of automation technology, to serve the client 'front to back', from the contact center through to the back-office.
Jacada has tended to target those sectors with the most evolved customer interaction management levels. As such, telecommunications is a top pursuit vertical for Jacada, along with BFSI, retail, utilities, healthcare, and logistics.
Jacada's offerings span multiple task areas within the contact center, but its automation-relevant products include Jacada Digital Customer Experience, its CX offering (including chatbot capability); Jacada Intelligent Assistant; and Jacada Enterprise Automation, its broader RPA offering.
