Coveo announces record growth in 2014

Coveo today announced accelerated growth in 2014 via strong demand for its enterprise search-based applications that help employees upskill as they work, and driven in large part by its continued strategic partnerships with leading organizations such as Salesforce. The year was also marked by the best quarter in the history of the company and the 1,000th enterprise activation of its software, with new customer Sonus Networks.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Coveo recorded the highest number of customer transactions in a single quarter, nearly three times that of the same prior-year quarter, and the highest quarterly revenue bookings in company history, while maintaining a 93 percent renewal rate.

“The fourth quarter of 2014 was the best quarter in Coveo’s history for both new customers and revenue bookings and we’re very excited to have reached the 1,000-enterprise activation mark,” said Louis Tetu, chairman and CEO of Coveo. “Based on market adoption of cloud-based enterprise search solutions, particularly within customer service, and to help all employees upskill as they work, we’re expecting 2015 to be another record year for Coveo. It is fitting that our thousandth activation with Sonus exemplifies this type of application: using Coveo for Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities Editions to bring together cloud and on-premise data via a cloud index.”

1,000th Enterprise Activation Sonus Networks, a global leader in bringing intelligence and security to real-time communications, became the 1000th enterprise activation of Coveo’s Advanced Enterprise Search technology in Q4 2014. Thanks to a rapidly growing customer base, the company realized it needed to empower its service agents and customer community members with an enterprise search solution to meet the expected increase in customer service inquiries. The company activated Coveo for Salesforce – Service Cloud and Communities Editions to provide support agents, sales representatives, partners and customers with proactive insights into customer, product and solution information unified from across multiple sources, including Salesforce, Atlassian Confluence, multiple databases and SharePoint. Injecting highly relevant knowledge and experts into the context of Sonus service agents, sales reps and customers at the point of interaction is expected to improve call resolution times, increase call deflection rates and customer satisfaction, as well as facilitate sales success.

“We’re happy to be the 1,000th enterprise activation of Coveo technology,” said Bill Scudder, CIO, Sonus Networks. “In the technology world, it’s all about scalability and Coveo is clearly scaling quickly with these numbers. At this point in our company’s growth, we’ve transformed our business from serving the world’s largest phone carriers to selling through channels and on to thousands of businesses, so our case volume is growing exponentially as we scale. Coveo for Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities will help Sonus scale our operations as our business scales, while reducing overhead costs and at the same time increasing the satisfaction of our customers.”

“Sonus is focused on helping our customers enable intelligent and secure communications via the cloud,” Scudder said. “With the transformation of our business, we want to ensure our customers’ continued growth and success, with tools that can transform how we work and how we help our customers solve their own complex challenges. Security is paramount to Sonus, and Coveo is the only advanced search app we could find that could securely index Confluence directly within Salesforce, and coupled with the single sign-on tool, Service Rocket, is a complete solution that will help Sonus customers significantly increase their ability to solve their own challenges, which is their preference. It will also help our service agents solve the most complex cases faster and with proactive insights.”

Company Growth   2014 represented significant corporate growth for Coveo as it continues to expand its business globally and grow its cloud infrastructure and offerings:

• Grew subscription bookings by more than 300 percent as the company continued to expand its cloud-based applications, in addition to maintaining its license business in-line with the year prior.
• Named the most visionary leader in the 2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search.
• Opened a new European headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, due to increasing global demand for its Advanced Enterprise Search technology in Europe.
• Customers documented significant achievements with Coveo technology, among them a Fortune 50 healthcare company that upskilled its customer support team, reducing time to proficiency from two years to two months.

“We are very pleased with Coveo’s growth and momentum, particularly the exciting growth in the cloud applications,” said Trident Capital Managing Director J. Alberto Yépez, a Coveo board member and investor. “2014 was a year of significant growth and market recognition of Coveo’s important ability to bring diverse and relevant content into the user’s context, as evidenced by its being named the most innovative leader in the 2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search.”

Product Advancements

Coveo continued to evolve its existing product offerings with new enhancements to the Coveo for Salesforce applications, new cloud analytics, even more connectivity and relevance across its platform, and the debut of a new, free application in its Coveo for Sitecore business.

The Coveo for Salesforce applications contributed to the company’s growth in subscription bookings by enabling a knowledge revolution within Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities. Coveo for Salesforce automatically brings contextually relevant information from across the enterprise and presents it to users within Salesforce via an advanced enterprise search solution, the benefits of which for service agents and customers we detail here.

The Coveo for Salesforce applications were enhanced throughout 2014 with a series of new capabilities that enhanced both the Service Cloud and Community Editions’ ability to consolidate information from third-party data sources, including:

• The Atlassian Confluence and Web Pages Connectors are now supported in the cloud, allowing Coveo for Salesforce users to index and consolidate customer information from these data sources and make them available to customer service agents and customers via the Salesforce Service Cloud and Salesforce Community interfaces. These are in addition to 11 connectors available via one-click access in the Coveo for Salesforce admin interface.
• Improved indexing configuration capabilities
• Enhanced relevance tuning
• An enhanced user interface for mobile devices that provides a device-agnostic experience across most mobile devices.

Coveo launched its cloud-based Usage Analytics Service. This allows Coveo customers to easily analyze search queries and results, faceted navigation trends and user behavior to identify content gaps, fine tune search relevance and increase overall user adoption.

In an industry-first, the company launched Coveo for Sitecore – Free Edition to empower Sitecore partners and customers with an enterprise-caliber website search solution that’s fully integrated with the Sitecore Experience Platform. The new offering allows marketers to configure and tune search relevance from within the Sitecore console and provides a JavaScript & HTML UI to enable Sitecore developers and partners to build fully customized search pages using the Coveo framework and toolkit. “Search plays an essential role in the customer experience,” said Darren Guarnaccia, Chief Strategy Officer of Sitecore. “Now a best-in-class, fully integrated solution is available free for all Sitecore developers and customers.”

Since its launch in September 2014, Coveo for Sitecore – Free Edition has been downloaded hundreds of times by Sitecore partners and customers worldwide.

Coveo expanded its Enterprise Search & Relevance Platform’s ability to securely index and consolidate information from third-party sources with the addition of several new connectors, including: Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Oracle Knowledge, Lithium, PTC Windchill, RSS, Dropbox, YouTube

Coveo also continued to enhance the market-leading transparency of its relevance engine, enabling administrators to more easily tune and rank relevance of results across the entire ecosystem of record.

Partners and Developers

Coveo expanded and deepened its strategic partnerships with new service offerings and additional partnerships with system integrators (SIs) in 2014. In support of its expanded partner and developer program, Coveo also launched several new resources for these communities. In 2014, Coveo:

• Signed agreements with more than 30 new SI partners
• Launched a new developer community where Coveo developers and its customer and partner developers share best practices and have questions addressed by experts
• The community has driven more than 50 percent self-service on support while enhancing customer satisfaction

Coveo predicts technology trends that increase employee and customer proficiency in 2015

Coveo, the leading advanced enterprise search provider, today announced the top five trends that it predicts will increase worker and customer proficiency in 2015. Identified by Gartner as the most innovative leader in the 2014 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search, and with more than 700 installations of its advanced enterprise search technology within mid-to large-size organizations globally, Coveo is in a singular position to predict trends that impact how we work, enabled by advanced enterprise search and relevance technology.

“In addition to our customer base, the analyst community and other technology innovations, we look to consumer Internet trends which today form one of the greatest drivers of technology trends in business,” said Laurent Simoneau, Coveo CTO and founder, “as we predict the trends we believe will be prevalent in 2015.”

The following are the top five organizational trends and their resulting “how we work” trends Coveo predicts for 2015:

1. Stop moving data: Enterprises will embrace the “ecosystem of record” over the system of record

Multiple forces are at play that accelerate data fragmentation and will require companies to recognize and embrace the ecosystem of record: applications will become even more fragmented and specialized, enterprises will favor best-of-breed technologies, the monolithic platform model will slowly die and companies will continue moving to the cloud at an accelerated clip. IT executives and business leaders will realize that the end-all-be-all “system of record” model has failed. IT organizations in 2015 will embrace the full “ecosystem of record,” defined as all of the rich legacy applications and cloud sources containing all of an organization’s work and mapping to organizational know-how. As a result they will stop trying to move data and enable dynamic information mash-up abilities, right at the point of need.

Organizations embracing the ecosystem of record will virtually consolidate information via secure, unified indexing technology, and success will require relevance, contextual accuracy, high levels of security and value for the end-user accomplishing a task.

“The costs of cloud storage and bandwidth decrease substantially year over year,” said Simoneau, “and we know that cloud adoption by businesses is growing exponentially. Yet there remain on-premise systems that may never move, or at least not until the issues of security are resolved to a standard not yet conceived. With the large platform players losing the consolidation battle, companies will virtually consolidate their ecosystem of record utilizing the secure, unified index which scales at a fraction of the cost that was possible in the past.”

How We Work Trend 1: We will stop reinventing the wheel because we can easily use information from every system, at our fingertips, and know what everyone in our organization knows.

2. Upskilling the end-user: Advanced search-based apps will make people more proficient as they work.

Skills and talent continue to be the primary constraints to organizational growth as global employment hovers close to or above the 2007, pre-downturn levels in major global economies, the rate at which skills must change continues to accelerate, and as baby-boomers continue their exodus from the workplace. Search-based apps that can inject contextually relevant information and experts into workflows at the point of need will become prevalent as they help employees become more proficient as they work and able to quickly change gears and tackle ever higher-level work. Research shows that knowledge workers currently spend most of their time redoing work and re-solving the same challenges rather than solving new challenges or working on new projects, largely because they cannot access prior work or relevant experts, or gain better insights through richer views of information as they are working.

“More proficient employees are able to address higher-level work, leaving repetitive tasks to automation,” said Louis Tetu, CEO, Coveo. “This trend will take off in 2015 as organizations enable the ecosystem of record and make all of this knowledge relevant to the individual situation and available to workers at the point of need. These apps will also be mobile in nature as browsing via mobile devices will continue to overtake traditional computer use.”

How We Work Trend 2: We will enhance our skills as we work by gaining the right knowledge exactly when we need it.

3. Tapping into the competent customer: self-service outpaces agent-assisted service.

Companies will offload support capacity to today’s more competent and digitally native customer. Customers will solve even complex challenges on their own, as they prefer. Several studies have documented self-service to be a primary desire of customers; however, customers often cannot easily find the answer via self-service channels (58 percent of calls to assisted support occur after a customer tries to self-serve and fails). Companies will turn to advanced enterprise search-based apps to provide contextual, real-time assistance to customers seeking to solve issues on their own.

“More sophisticated customers, many of whom are digital natives, prefer self-service but cannot find what they need on company portals. In 2015, companies will solve this “low hanging fruit” problem with advanced search for their customer communities and portals,” said Tetu. “Enabling advanced search to provide the personal experience customers prefer will be a double win for companies because it will reduce costs and offload support capacity by tapping into the latent competence of customers, and for customers, because their satisfaction will increase when they are able to solve complex challenges when and how they want.”

How We Work Trend 3: We will empower our customers with the knowledge they need, when they need it, to solve even their toughest issues.

4. Mobile first: World-class mobile user experience will be ubiquitous.

Mobile browsing will outpace classic computer use, creating significant accessibility gains, increasing data creation (from sensors, the Internet of Things, and smart machines) and creating challenges for traditional applications. For Enterprise Search, this trend will drive new and ubiquitous interfaces that will provide a contextually relevant experience within smaller real estate. The right information will be proactively pushed to mobile devices based on what the individual is doing or where they are located. This will require enterprise search vendors to enable knowledge graphs, where information is stored in the form of interrelated graphs around different data entities. In order to scale, such knowledge graphs will need to be stored within an index.

“2015 will be a year when mobile interfaces will be thought of first for many applications, and advanced search apps will provide proactive knowledge and information based on both the individual’s past interaction with information and her or his current data and signals: Interest, location, etcetera,” said Simoneau.

How We Work Trend 4: We will work smarter on our smartphones and tablets, with personalized information always at our fingertips, in our context.

5. The primary security concern for information access through cloud indexes will be solved.

While security has always been a key concern of enterprise search installations on-premise, cybersecurity will become a critical concern and will be the primary gating factor for cloud-based search adoption and hybrid on-premise/cloud implementations. The threat will be magnified by mobility and the migration to cloud-based business models. Enterprise search in the cloud and hybrid strategies will only be widely adopted with high levels of proven security. Moreover, this will fix the challenge of many enterprise search installations. Without the proper security, companies will not open all of their data stores to the search application, and employees will not be able to find what they know exists.

“Today’s secure connectors, such as Coveo’s, can consolidate security models, and this will become the norm for search adoption in the cloud” said Simoneau. “Moreover, search applications will become HIPAA/PCI compliant, as are Coveo’s cloud-based analytics.”

How We Work Trend 5: We will engage with search because it shows us what we know exists—and can recommend what we didn’t know existed but matters to our work.

Harris Corporation division embraces next generation knowledge management with Search & Relevance Technology from Coveo

Today, Coveo announced that Harris Government Communications Systems, a division of Harris Corporation, a leading government and commercial information technology and communications company, has embraced Coveo’s Search & Relevance Technology to increase productivity by unlocking value from collective enterprise knowledge.

With Coveo, more than 5,000 Harris employees – including 3,500 R&D engineers – are able to quickly and easily access consolidated, contextually relevant knowledge from a wide variety of disparate systems. By transforming knowledge management with Coveo, Harris enables all engineers to understand who knows what, who’s working on what projects, and how to leverage past innovation, avoiding duplicate work and increasing new innovation and productivity. The solution enables knowledge access while respecting the company’s existing and complex security architecture and active directory configuration.

With its focus on continuous improvement and dedication to innovation, Harris Government Communications Systems decided to leapfrog the competition by reengineering its approach to knowledge management. The division gave all of its employees contextual access to the collective knowledge created by –and known by—its division employees, including thousands of engineers. Rather than relying on commodity search engines, which often lack sophisticated security and also lead to less “findability” and connectivity, which then results in duplicate work and lost productivity, Harris chose to go with Coveo Search and Relevance Technology, which presents relevant, collective knowledge within the context of each and every user. Security was a prime consideration, as Harris works with government contracts and its access to privileged information must be carefully controlled.

As a result, Harris has achieved significant return through increased innovation and more collaboration among employees, all supported by significant time savings for even more nimble and customer-responsive operations. Colleen Yoh, Group Leader, Engineering Information Technology Department, Harris Corporation, said “we’ve found Coveo to be a valuable tool to harness our collective knowledge and generate a high return on our investment.”

In implementing search and relevance technology, Harris has embraced the “Long Tail” theory. Developed by Chris Anderson, this theory describes the retail strategy of making available a large number of unique items in small quantities—unconfined by the boundaries of physical systems, departments, or immediate relationships. Traditional knowledge management initiatives fail to cope effectively with the broad variety of knowledge—messaging and email, databases, social media, collaboration tools etc.—generated within the informal organization. Diane Berry, Chief Knowledge Evangelist, Coveo, said “An organization’s most important asset is its collective knowledge – especially for innovation-driven organizations such as Harris. Coveo is happy to help them harness and leverage this asset to generate even greater returns across the business.”

Coveo technology allows Harris to apply the “Long Tail” theory to knowledge, based on human interaction with information residing among systems, repositories, people and situations unknown to the user.

About Coveo

Coveo provides search solutions that deliver actionable, personalized knowledge to every employee, support agent, customer, and website visitor. Recognized as the Most Visionary Leader in Enterprise Search by Gartner in 2014, Coveo’s Search & Relevance technology unlocks the full value of intranets, customer service applications, and websites by securely connecting, consolidating, and analyzing in real-time an organization’s diverse knowledge streams, and providing users with unified search, dynamic 360-degree views of information, contextual content recommendations, and automated expertise finding.

Interset named a top emerging cybersecurity company of 2014 by Security Innovators Network (SINET)

Security innovator Interset has been selected a winner of the annual Security Innovation Network™ (SINET) 16 Innovators competition, a prestigious technical award for cutting-edge technology companies addressing cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. The competition is supported by the Department of Homeland Security, Science & Technology Directorate. Interset was selected from a pool of 180 applicants worldwide and will showcase its highly intelligent and accurate enterprise threat detection solution at the SINET Showcase to be held Dec. 3–4 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

Interset has developed a cutting edge approach to security behavior analytics using multi-level, predictive mathematical models and unsupervised machine learning integrated across a big data neural network. This approach reduces noise and removes false positives, while increasing accuracy and timeliness of threat detection. Unlike first generation analytics tools, Interset not only extracts metadata from security, network and SIEM products, but uses standalone, lightweight end point sensors and revolutionary enterprise layer application connectors to offer greater visibility into where high risk events occur. This combination of risk visibility and advanced math delivers early and accurate detection of high risk threats, insider attacks, compromised systems and account takeovers, coupled with actionable forensic data giving even small security teams the tools to stop data compromises.

“Organizations simply cannot protect the sensitive data within their businesses — headlines prove that almost every week. DLP and SIEM tools may detect evidence of an attack, but lack the intelligence to surface and connect that evidence, so it remains lost in the noise of thousands of alerts. Gateway and network systems detect only a limited threat surface, and when bypassed, offer no defense in depth across an organization,” said Interset CEO and President Dale Quayle. “By applying predictive math and the science of behavioral analytics to the events captured by these systems and our own specialized sensors, we capture more data and use computing intelligence to analyze, connect and surface actual attack events across an organization quickly and accurately. With big data, greater context is available so surfaced attack events include actionable forensic information. We’re very pleased to be recognized for our contribution in this important area.”

iPerceptions launches Active Recognition™ for Retargeting

iPerceptions, the leader in digital customer research, today unveiled its latest application for Active Recognition, a patent protected technology. Active Recognition for Retargeting improves behavioral retargeting by enriching campaigns with stated visitor intent. For the first time, digital marketers can accurately distinguish between purchase intenders, researchers and support seekers to create relevant messages aligned to a visitor’s intent, ultimately improving engagement and campaign performance.

“Trying to recognize user intent from behavior alone is challenging,” said Duff Anderson, Senior Vice President at iPerceptions. “A visit to the cart is often considered to be an indication of purchase intent, yet when asked directly, more than half of people who visit the cart say they have no immediate intent to purchase. Furthermore, labeling them as purchasers is essentially misclassifying a majority of these visitors and neglecting the fact that more than two thirds of purchasers never make it to the cart. It is only by aligning to stated visitor intent that campaigns will perform better and leverage the full opportunity.”

“The advertising landscape is evolving,” said Audry Larocque, President and CEO of iPerceptions. “Increasingly, companies are looking for quality first party data to increase the performance of their retargeting campaigns. iPerceptions Active Recognition for Retargeting is a key innovation as it leverages feedback from actual website visitors to align campaigns and bidding strategies to visitors’ stated intent.”

Active Recognition Technology uses a representative survey to engage a small portion of a website’s visitors to determine their purpose of visit. This representative sample of stated intent is combined with the site’s behavioral data and iPerceptions 20+ million standardized data points which allows for robust pattern analysis and learning. When an anonymous visitor arrives on the site, the technology monitors their session and recognizes the intent state in real-time. This intent intelligence is then shared with a Demand-Side Platform (DSP) where specific campaigns are associated to recognized intent states and delivered to the visitor.

“Leveraging real customer intent when creating retargeting campaigns improves performance and engagement,” said Vlad Stesin, Co-founder & VP Product at AdGear. “Integrating this capability into our AdGear Trader demand-side platform enables advertisers to create highly relevant campaigns aligned to visitor intent.”

Key Benefits of iPerceptions Active Recognition for Retargeting include:

• Increase conversion – Recognize visitors most likely to purchase and close the deal faster by displaying content that will drive conversion such as a promo code.
• Effective lead nurturing – Distinguish researchers from purchase intenders to strategically retarget them with a series of ads increasing brand exposure or product awareness, ultimately, leading this prospect to conversion.
• Increase retention – Recognize support seekers and eliminate their frustrations by displaying ads that provide support such as community support forums, help desk information and FAQs.
• Optimize campaign spend – Align bid strategies to specific intent states and maximize campaign ROI such as allocating more of the budget to those more likely to convert.

Active Recognition for Retargeting is flexible as it can also recognize a number of additional industry specific qualifiers including purchase horizon, in-store vs. online shopping, business vs. leisure, seller vs. buyer, demographics and others. This provides a higher level of relevance to retargeting campaigns reaching sub-sets of defined intent segments.

About iPerceptions

iPerceptions is a leading digital customer research company that enriches marketing technologies with the Voice of the Customer. The company’s solutions are powered by the Active Research™ SaaS Platform, which captures visitors’ intent, needs, and experiences in the moment of truth using advanced engagement technologies. iPerceptions is revolutionizing market research with Active Recognition™ which recognizes the intent of anonymous website visitors in real-time to provide personalized experiences.
