Mattersight Issued New Patent for Customized Call Search Capability

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2016) - For nearly a decade, personality-based SaaS software pioneer Mattersight Corporation (NASDAQ: MATR) has mined customer language to uncover the keys to shorter, more effective conversations. A new patent issued to Mattersight has further protected this unique capability.

Selecting and Navigating Call Examples for Playback and Analysis covers the invention known at Mattersight as the "personality search engine." This invention enables Mattersight's software to analyze customer phone calls, and then search through mountains of structured and unstructured data to isolate moments that illustrate specific personality matches and mismatches.

Mattersight COO David Gustafson, one of the solution's inventors, says that the ability to run a customized search on recorded calls gives users an unprecedented degree of insight into customer patterns and agent performance.

"When supervisors and trainers can quickly and easily identify customer personality patterns and emotional states, they can more effectively coach to the optimal customer outcomes," said Gustafson. "You're giving an agent extremely concrete feedback on why and where conversations go wrong, and what they can do to change that. The impact on customer experience is profound and in most cases, it's immediate."

The covered invention supports Mattersight's entire suite of Behavioral Analytics applications, including its Quality Assessment and Performance Coaching products, which are currently being used by Fortune 50 companies in a variety of industries.
