Nuance, IBM team-up on speech solutions
Nuance Communications and IBM entered into a Joint Initiative Agreement to “further accelerate innovation and advanced speech recognition solutions for enterprises, consumers and partners worldwide.”
As part of the deal, Nuance became IBM’s Preferred Business Partner for speech technologies and related professional services to complement IBM’s Industry Solutions portfolio; and the two companies will collaborate to address the needs of customers in ten industries: Automotive, Banking, Electronics, Energy and Utilities, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Insurance, Media and Entertainment, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel and Transportation.
The idea is to make it easier than ever for enterprises and individuals to “engage in commerce, access information and collaborate in broad application domains like customer care, unified messaging and mobile search.”
For the record, this new partnership builds upon the technology and IP collaboration between IBM and Nuance announced earlier this year.
