WE SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF COGNITIVE PLATFORM FOR USIMINAS

Sophie, Stefanini’s cognitive intelligence platform used in the Usiminas project is now available in version 3.0, responding in 44 languages, and has been implemented in various segments such as industry, retail, insurance and government.

Being one of the first companies to adopt this tool, Usiminas’ call center is now able to act more assertively and strategically.

Since 2011, Stefanini has been working within Usiminas to provide specialized services and systems development. In 2017, the contract was upgraded to service desk, field, NOC (Network Operation Center) services, in the resource allocation part in the development area and with artificial intelligence. 

We partnered with Usiminas, a Brazilian leader in flat steel, to develop a cognitive platform to offer its customers and employees a virtual attendant named Bob Steel.

The virtual assistant is available on the site of the steelmaker to guide or clarify the doubts of those who visit the platforms. Talking with Bob is very easy; just access the icon in the right-hand corner of the screen or click on “Contact Us.” The modern and friendly virtual partner is also on the intranet, ensuring more agility and dynamism in the search of employee information.

According to Eduardo Sebastião de Carvalho, corporate manager of operations technology and information security in the steel industry, Usiminas was one of the first companies to adopt this tool. “The implementation of the project shows that we are tuned to new technologies and connected to all market trends,” he said.

Winy Siqueira de Melo, Usiminas information technology specialist responsible for the project explains that Bob Steel also allows the call center staff to be more focused on the demands that require more attention, with more complexity.

“For example, we used to receive many calls from people searching for extensions or addresses from our units. From now on, all this information can be answered by our virtual attendant, allowing the call center to act more assertively and strategically,” she said.

“We are happy to be able to help Usiminas with this project as well. The initiative aims to facilitate the contact between the user and the steel company, bringing more agility, dynamism and interactivity,” said Alexandre Winetzki, director of R&D at Stefanini.

Bob Steel

Another interesting point of the project is that the name of the virtual assistant was chosen by the employees through an intranet vote. Bob Steel, who brings references to steel coils – the company’s main business – was preferred. In all, there were about 1,900 votes, plus several creative comments, showing that the cybernetic partner has won the sympathy of all.

Sophie, Stefanini’s cognitive intelligence platform used in the Usiminas project is now available in version 3.0, responding in 44 languages, and has been implemented in various segments such as industry, retail, insurance and government. The platform can be added to all of Stefanini’s offerings in Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and call center, as well as to most major IT Service Management (ITMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) available in the market.
