Ozmo connects with telecom and emerging banking audiences
Ozmo exhibited throughout the four-day event, meeting with telecommunications providers, technology partners and industry leaders to demonstrate how its platform helps organizations deliver more effective support for devices, apps and connected services.
Visitors to the booth experienced Ozmo’s interactive support tools firsthand, including remote video capabilities that allow agents and customers to collaborate visually to troubleshoot issues in real time. Seeing the technology in action sparked strong interest from attendees looking for ways to improve digital support experiences and resolve complex issues faster.
While Ozmo has long worked with telecom providers, this year’s event also brought a new wave of conversations with banking and financial services organizations.
