American Fork’s Gideon Taylor Consulting LLC, a full-service consulting and staffing firm, has acquired IntraSee Inc. of Chicago, an enterprise user experience (UX) and conversational AI provider. The acquisition includes Ida Artificial Intelligence Inc., developer of Ida, an AI-driven digital assistant for the enterprise.

“The IntraSee team of artificial intelligence and UX innovators will help Gideon Taylor bring unprecedented usability to enterprise application suites like PeopleSoft and Oracle Cloud,” Gideon Taylor said in a release.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}

“Gideon Taylor has always been about extending the reach and relevance of enterprise systems, replacing manual data collection and approval processes with smart, workflow-enabled e-form applications that guide users through easy interactions with the system,” said Paul Taylor, president and CEO of Gideon Taylor. “Now with the AI wizardry of the IntraSee team, we can actually give the enterprise system a voice. Chatting with Ida as an employee or student is amazing; you just keep finding more things Ida knows how to do for you. This is what chatbots were always meant to be. Ida is going to build a whole new level of connection between organizations and the people they serve.”

“The future of enterprise software will be less about which applications you run and more about automation, AI and engaging with your users where they are. Joining Gideon Taylor uniquely positions us to take our clients into this future and help them capture new ROI,” said Andrew Bediz, IntraSee’s CEO.

Bediz will continue to lead IntraSee as a division of Gideon Taylor. The IntraSee and Ida brands will be retained. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. {/mprestriction}
