Turning CX Data into Competitive Advantages with AI

3 Takeaways from RAISE Summit Paris 2025 

This July, the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris was the place to be for AI innovation. RAISE Summit 2025 brought together over 5,000 global leaders, founders, and tech experts to shape the future of enterprise AI. With 250+ speakers covering everything from infrastructure to real-world AI applications, RAISE is Europe's biggest AI event where ideas don't just get talked about, they get built.  

For Alorica, a pioneer in AI-driven customer experience (CX) solutions, being a part of RAISE was a defining moment: we were the only CX company presenting, showcasing how we are not just adopting AI but leading its transformation to deliver tangible business outcomes.  I had the opportunity to show just how far ahead we are during my panel discussion, "Turning Data Overload into Actionable Gold: AI's Rescue Mission for Enterprises Drowning in Unstructured Data." The big takeaway? 

Every enterprise is sitting on a goldmine of untapped, unstructured CX data. The ones who come out on top are those who transform this complexity into competitive advantage.

Creating CX Momentum: From Data Overload to AI-Driven Action 

Figuring out how to get the most out of your data is a daunting challenge faced by modern businesses For Alorica, with 100,000+ agents handling millions of customer conversations every day, the opportunity is massive. The key takeaway from RAISE: unstructured data isn't a problem, it's a goldmine. Too often, companies oversimplify this data prematurely, discarding the nuance essential for exceptional CX. 

True innovation lies in AI-powered solutions that preserve and leverage this complexity. Our approach at Alorica is grounded in human-centered AI. We don’t just transcribe or categorize customer conversations; we analyze language at scale with emotional intelligence, real-time sentiment detection, and contextual awareness. This enables us to identify root causes of customer issues and deliver proactive resolutions that drive measurable business impact, like achieving a 75% escalation reduction for a leading sportswear brand using deep analytics or boosting operational efficiency by 20% for a client with Alorica ReVoLT™.

At RAISE, one thing was crystal clear: the future belongs to companies that can understand the full spectrum of customer interactions (voice, chat, email, video etc.) at scale and not just record and process them. The winners will be those who can find meaning in the data chaos and translate into personalized, empathetic experiences.  

Identifying High-Value CX Use Cases for AI: Where to Start for Maximum ROI 

With the sheer volume of available data, enterprises face a paradox of choice. Where should they begin? The answer from RAISE and our own experience: start where unstructured data and business impact intersect. Our panel underscored that AI solutions must continuously learn from real-world interactions, and evaluation metrics need to run in production environments to ensure relevance and accuracy. 

For Alorica's clients, this means prioritizing: 

• Intent Detection and Process Optimization: Moving beyond simple keyword matching to truly understand customer intent, enabling more intelligent routing and faster resolution times. 
• Sentiment Analysis at Scale: Real-time emotional intelligence that can detect frustration, satisfaction, or confusion across voice and text interactions, allowing for proactive intervention. 
• Predictive Issue Resolution: Using pattern recognition to anticipate potential problems before they escalate or become widespread, enabling proactive customer outreach and issue prevention. 

While many are still experimenting, digital CX leaders are building, testing, and iterating in production now. The organizations that will dominate tomorrow’s CX landscape are those partnering with innovators who can deploy AI solutions that evolve with real customer data and deliver exceptional performance.

The Human-AI Partnership: Augmentation Over Replacement 

One of the most nuanced discussions at RAISE centered on the role of human specialists in an AI-driven CX ecosystem. The paradigm has shifted decisively from AI as a replacement to AI as an augmentation of human expertise. 

At Alorica, our philosophy centers on keeping human specialists and exceptional customer experience at the heart of every solution we develop. Through our Alorica IQ suite of digital products and services, we leverage advanced data analytics and AI to identify the best tasks for automation, freeing human specialists to focus on the complex, emotionally nuanced interactions that require empathy and critical thinking. This balance between experience and efficiency is foundational to how we design and deploy technology.  This human-AI partnership creates a multiplier effect where the combined capability exceeds what either could achieve alone. 

The most successful AI implementations seen at the RAISE Summit amplify human expertise rather than replace it.  

The Opportunity 

RAISE Summit 2025 reinforced that the AI revolution in customer experience is well underway, and for those willing to act decisively, the goldmine of CX data is within reach.

The window for competitive advantage is narrowing. Every day an organization delays implementing AI-driven CX solutions is a day competitors gain ground. The question isn't whether to embrace AI in customer experience, but how quickly and effectively to deploy it. Equally critical is partnering with the right collaborator, one who leads within the ecosystem and understands how to scale AI solutions for real impact. Organizations that align with these partners, shift the dynamic from low-impact pilots to execution at scale with measurable business outcomes.

In today’s fast-evolving landscape, the right partnership is not just an advantage, it’s a necessity to accelerate transformation and secure lasting competitive differentiation. At Alorica, we don’t just observe this transformation, we’re leading it.

Our participation at RAISE as the sole CX organization presenting underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI-driven customer experience while delivering scalable, impactful solutions that set new industry standards. We fuse leading technology with our 25+ years of CX expertise to go beyond simple deployment —we reimagine what’s possible for your business then make it a reality.

Your goldmine of customer data isn't just waiting to be discovered, it's ready to be refined into competitive gold. The only question is: will you be mining it or watching others strike first?
