Evercontact introduces the first app for crowdsourced address book updates

 

Paris, February 11 2016, Evercontact, the cloud service that automatically keeps address books up-to-date, has launched a new and totally unique service: Evercontact+. This makes Evercontact’s original service even more powerful by improving the quality of contact updates and therefore the reliability of address books.

 

Evercontact +: The power of crowdsourcing

Evercontact+ harnesses of the power of networks to generate and share even timelier address book updates.  Specifically, Evercontact users will now be able to access contact updates immediately when a new public signature is detected anywhere in the network, without having to wait to receive an email directly.  Initial tests show that Evercontact+ detects up to 400% more contact updates as compared to the classic service. These updates are shared with other Evercontact users provided they are already in contact.

 

How does it work?

  • Ellen is in contact with John. Both of them are Evercontact users.
  • Ellen and John are both in contact with Ben.
  • Ben gets a new mobile number and adds it to his email signature.
  • Ben and Ellen exchange emails. Ellen’s address book is automatically updated with Ben’s new number.
  • And the magic of Evercontact+ means John will also get Ben’s new number.

 

Evercontact+: Artificial Intelligence meets Crowdsourcing

Since its inception, Evercontact has used semantic technology to provide users with a powerful virtual personal assistant, allowing them to benefit from an always up-to-date address book, automatically. To better meet the needs of its users, Evercontact wanted to go further by combining its advances in AI technology with crowdsourcing to offer a unique solution and even more timely updates. Evercontact + is the result of several years of R&D.

R&D is part of Evercontact’s DNA since the beginning. We have worked hard to evolve our service and meet the expectations of our users: the latest updates even faster. Quite naturally Evercontact+ was born. We are proud to present this new service, which is the most significant change in our offer since its launch. Early user feedback is more than positive and we are confident about the future. Since the launch of Evercontact+, 1 of 5 new users is the direct result of an invitation from an existing user.

Philippe Laval, CEO Evercontact
