The banking community is increasingly looking to get closer to the needs of its customers by personalizing their experience and quickly benefiting from their feedback, whether it’s negative or positive.
“Today, thanks to machine learning (ML) and automated language processing (NLP), it is now possible to predict the needs of the customer; to detect irony, the root causes of complaints, or the real needs and desires of the customer, without even asking them a question,” explained Eric de Gheldere, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Semeon Analytics.
“After years of training on more than 5 billion unique text patterns, Semeon’s technology can easily generate detailed automated classification of irritants and areas of improvement from any data outset with accuracy that goes far beyond the simple list of topics to watch for,” added de Gheldere.
Before Semeon, it literally took weeks or months of work to identify root causes and classify important topics by importance in a customer experience journey. Now, all this can be done with disconcerting simplicity in a matter of hours or minutes.
Semeon Analytics helps stand out faster in today’s market, where financial services’ differentiation is limited and customer expectations are higher than ever, providing a frictionless customer experience is essential for financial institutions if they are to build strong long-term relationships with their customers and generate sustainable value.
Semeon’s platform helps data analysts, marketers, product development teams, PR and analytic units to glance at large data sets of free-form text feedback from various data points to quickly grasp what is meaningful, threatening or to detect new opportunities.

Insights
In the face of a challenging economic climate due to Covid-19, which remains as of the date hereof, the year 2020 was a milestone year in which the Company made progress on multiple levels. The Company was able to secure important transactions that strengthened its balance sheet, improved its outlook, and pursued its growth strategy to maximize shareholder value.
While its operations have declined since the onset of the crisis and, consequently, its revenues, the Company has responded quickly to the situation by implementing many targeted measures, such as tighter expense management, obtaining the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (« CEWS »), reducing the number of management of its expenses, obtaining the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (« CEWS »), the Canada Emergency Rent Grant (CERG) and the emergency loan. All of these measures have allowed the Corporation to limit the impact of this crisis on its cash flow.
During Q1 2020, the Company proceeded with the conversion of its convertible debenture, allowing the elimination of this debt from its balance sheet and saving $200,000 in interest per annum. This conversion has significantly improved our financial position and provided us with more financial flexibility for new development and acquisition projects.
In addition, 2020 marked the finalization and launch of its premium Option.vote platform (www.option.vote.com), which started generating revenues in the last quarter. Option.vote offers a multi-method voting system designed for unions, political parties, professional associations, and others seeking a secure way to reduce their voting costs and improve their voter participation. Marketing efforts will be deployed during 2021 to drive revenue growth for the Company and improve profitability as these services offer higher profit margins.
Last but not least, in November 2020, the Company closed a private placement of $1.5M and acquired Seméon Analytique Inc. The proceeds of the private placement allowed the Company to considerably reduce its indebtedness and the acquisition of Seméon (www.semeon.com), an artificial intelligence (A.I.) company, which will increase the Company’s ability to offer its clients services in a synergistic manner with Option.vote in SaaS mode, thus allowing us to have access to international markets
The year 2020 has been marked by ongoing innovation and has brought our intellectual property (IP) portfolio to a new plateau, thus allowing us to pursue our growth initiatives through organic development and future acquisitions” said Michel Guay, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATW Tech Inc.
