Vymo Recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Sales Engagement Applications
BANGALORE, India, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vymo, the sales engagement platform of choice for financial institutions, has been recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Sales Engagement Applications report, for the third time.
Vymo’s innovative platform is rooted in its ability to resolve key industry-specific use cases in insurance and banking, with AI nudges and industry playbooks.
Vymo has been the preferred tech solution for financial institutions, by providing a mobile-first, data-led seller engagement experience to sellers by automating their work tasks, managing their activities, and providing granular insight to sales leaders to support their seller workforce for greater productivity. Combining rich data and the power of machine learning, the platform has been able to guide sellers with insights into outcome-driven sales and strategies of top-performing salespeople, transforming sales at an organizational level.
Vymo is a tailored solution for distributed sales organizations within the banking, financial services, and insurance sectors that are focused on delivering an exceptional remote-first experience.
Gartner notes, “Sales engagement applications (SEAs) streamline how sellers execute sales activities and deal workflows at scale. They optimize seller productivity, by combining three key capabilities into a single interface: multichannel engagement (e.g., email, voice, SMS, video, social media), outbound workflow execution and time-saving AI/automation. Sellers rely on SEAs to streamline guidance into whom to engage and when, and what messaging to use, while capturing sales activities back into sales force automation (SFA) platforms.”
“We’re happy that this will be the third time Vymo has been recognized by Gartner. We believe that this recognition validates our commitment to enhance sales orchestration and execution — for financial institutions, in acquiring new customers, strengthening relationships, and driving profits,” comments Yamini Bhat, CEO of Vymo.
Within just six weeks of launch, Vymo delivers substantial benefits to frontline agents, managers, and sales leaders, boasting a remarkable 75% Daily Active Usage (DAU) rate, on par with major consumer applications like Instagram and Slack. Vymo currently partners with over 70 of the world’s leading banks, insurance companies, and financial services companies.

Global AI Summit Calls for Global Action to Guarantee AI Innovation is for the “Good of Humanity”
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global AI Summit (GAIN) in Riyadh concluded on a high, after the summit welcomed more than 30,000 delegates from across the globe over three days. The live stream of the summit, organized by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), received 3.7m views.
Building on the success of previous editions, GAIN 2024 featured more than 450 speakers from 100 countries, participating in 150 sessions. It also witnessed over 25 launches and announcements, and facilitated the signing of over 80 agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).
The summit has grown exponentially since its inception in 2020. Its growing prominence reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s role in advancing AI capabilities as it positions itself as a global leader in this space.
The key output from the summit was the need for governments and policy makers to take global action to ensure that AI technology evolves for the good of humanity. Central to responsible evolution is an ethical framework and robust governance.
To support the advancement of AI ethics and governance, SDAIA announced the Riyadh Charter of Artificial Intelligence for the Islamic World in collaboration with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ICESCO). This promotes ethical AI grounded in Islamic values and principles, as well as sustainable development through international cooperation.
SDAIA has played a pivotal role in forging key collaborations to strengthen local and regional AI solutions, signing MoUs with Microsoft Arabia to develop Arabic language models, IBM for a Center of Excellence in Generative AI technologies, and NVIDIA to scale AI infrastructure across the Kingdom.
The summit also marked several major milestones. Alongside the unveiling of ALLaM, the world’s most advanced Arabic Language Model, other diverse initiatives such as the Global AI Community, the THAKAI Platform, and guidelines for addressing deepfake technology.
Furthermore, the launch of the Generative AI Center of Excellence by the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), the agreement to open an International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) as a UNESCO Category 2 Center, further underscored the impact of GAIN 2024.
The summit itself provided the platform for companies from all over the world to showcase the latest AI technologies and innovations, including AI generated avatars, AI generated artwork, and even Robotic bar staff serving beverages.
The summit closed with an inspirational speech from the Director of Saudi Arabia’s National Information Center, His Excellency Dr. Esam Alwagait, in which he thanked participants:
“Your candid perspectives have not only inspired us with the vision of what lies ahead, but have also grounded us in the realities we must face. Together, we have not only imagined the future of AI, but have also made it real by addressing the challenges and identifying the enablers needed to truly unlock its potential.”
He added:
“It has been incredibly inspiring to see the world come together here in Riyadh, united by momentum to make AI work for everyone. The commitment to collaborative action has been evident throughout the summit.”
The success of GAIN 2024 ensures that the Kingdom’s AI infrastructure will be significantly strengthened and has cemented Saudi Arabia position at the center of global AI.
