About OvationCXM

OvationCXM provides an AI-powered customer experience management (CXM) platform tailored for businesses with complex partner ecosystems, particularly in the financial services sector. The company was founded in 2014, previously known as Boomtown, by Alfred 'Chip' Kahn IV, Tim Attinger, Alan Finlay, Guiseppi Marzelli, and Paul Wyer. Kahn, the CEO, has a background as a serial entrepreneur in technology and recognized a significant disconnect between customers and the ability of service organizations to meet their needs, which led to the creation of OvationCXM. Prior to this, he founded IP Commerce, a software development company that facilitated payment solutions for companies like Square and Intuit.

The company's core offering is the CXMEngine, a platform designed to orchestrate and automate customer journeys in real-time. It operates as an overlay that connects disparate internal systems (like CRMs) and third-party partner platforms without needing to replace existing infrastructure. The platform's main features include a no-code journey builder, ecosystem-wide visibility, AI-driven automation and insights, and knowledge delivery tools. This allows enterprises to design, deploy, and manage complex customer interactions, such as client onboarding and support, across multiple departments and external vendors. The system uses generative AI to summarize customer histories, personalize interactions, and automate routine tasks, with reported results of reducing manual tasks by up to 55% and speeding journey completions by a third.

OvationCXM operates on a B2B SaaS business model, targeting large enterprises, with a notable focus on banks and payment providers. Clients include prominent names such as KeyBank, Coca-Cola, and Nuvei. The company has secured significant funding to support its growth, raising over $40 million through multiple rounds, including a $20 million Series C and debt round in September 2022. This round was led by Telstra Ventures and included participation from investors like KeyBank, Capital One Ventures, and Nyca Partners. Headquartered in Tiburon, California, OvationCXM has a remote workforce and serves a global client base.
