LiveTiles Limited (ASX:LVT) (LiveTiles or the Company)
A global software company that empowers its users to create their own intelligent workplace experiences, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Search365, a leading IT service provider to the Australian Government and Financial Services clients. Search365 formed from the base engineering team that built the FAST Search capability for Microsoft.
Under the partnership, LiveTiles will combine its technology with the Search365 Knowledge Miner to create the most sophisticated information discovery tool, capable of real-time file search and response. The AI-powered Knowledge Miner will enable LiveTiles’ Bots to deliver real-time, personalised and actionable responses to a user’s request by directly pulling the relevant information from documents, policies and procedures and other relevant data sources. Knowledge Miner’s ability to deliver responses that reflect the most recent changes to source data ensures that users will be able to rely on Bots to provide the right answers from the right documents at any point in time.
The addressable market for a product that combines LiveTiles’ intelligent workplace offering with Search365’s Knowledge Miner is extremely large and spans any industry that has a core focus on Compliance and Risk Management.
The strategic partnership expands the opportunity for both parties to grow their existing global customer footprint and pursue more commercially significant opportunities. Both parties will jointly pursue opportunities within government, financial services and other highly regulated industries under the partnership. Already, the partnership is experiencing early success with pilots underway with leading Australian Financial Services and Government clients.
