Dubber June 2021 Quarterly Activities Report

Dubber June 2021 Quarterly Activities Report

Dubber Corporation Limited (ASX: DUB) (‘Dubber’ or ‘the Company’), the leading global Unified Call Recording & Voice Intelligence cloud service designed for service providers and businesses of any size, today released an update on the Company’s operating focus along with the Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30 June 2021.

Highlights within the Quarter:

  • Revenue increased by 12% ($800k) to $7.4m
  • Dubber users now exceed 420,000
  • ARR increased 14% ($4.8m) to $39m
  • The Company has in excess of $32m cash at bank
  • Dubber now a standard feature for every subscriber on Cisco Webex Calling and Cisco UCM Cloud

Growth in all key metrics – Users and ARR

During the June quarter the Company continued to experience substantial growth across all key metrics.

User numbers grew at a record rate for Dubber’s SaaS monthly subscriptions. The Company announced the launch of its Foundation Partner Program, with Cisco’s Webex Calling and UCM Cloud platforms as the first such partner. Foundation Partners will embed Dubber services within their offering as a standard and in-built feature – from which both Dubber and the partner then benefit from upgrading users to richer functionality and product offerings. Accordingly, Dubber’s subscriber numbers have significantly expanded in this program, and for reasons of both consistency and commercial sensitivity, the Company has chosen not to include these numbers at the current time. The increase in subscriber numbers, therefore, relates to standard Dubber subscriptions.

As previously indicated, the key growth metric relating to short term growth is the Company’s Annualised Recurring Revenue (‘ARR’) which has grown by $4.8m, to approximately $39m, continuing a trend established in the March quarter, a milestone period relating to comparative ARR growth on a quarter on quarter basis.

Telecommunications Networks Growth and Yield

During the quarter, the Company continued to expand its footprint of service provider networks along with increasing penetration and revenue yield from its current telecommunication and UC platform partners.

Cisco as a Foundation Partner

During the quarter, the Company announced that it significantly expanded its commercial relationship with Cisco. Dubber is now a standard feature of every subscription for Cisco’s Global cloud telephony platforms Webex Calling and UCM Cloud. An entry level service ‘Dubber Go’ is included, at no extra charge, in every subscription enabling individual users to record calls which they alone manage. Customers can then upgrade to extended features such as extended storage, transcription and AI based features or expansion to compliance-based capabilities for the entire organization. Cisco provides Dubber a monthly license fee for this capability, which enhances its offering to their end customers.

The benefits for Dubber are significant:

  • An accretive revenue stream which enhances rather than competes with Dubber’s fundamental revenue models for Cisco users
  • 100% attachment to the network customer base with an increased propensity to uptake additional Dubber products and service subscriptions
  • Dubber has direct communication access to end customers for co-marketing as well as via Cisco and its global reseller network
  • Cisco Webex calling is re-sold by many of the world’s leading telecommunications carriers, providing Dubber with further opportunities to expand its network footprint
  • Inclusion in the world’s leading cloud telephony platform provides the opportunity for ‘network effect’ as both service providers and their customers seek to standardise their core infrastructure services
  • The deployment will see Dubber’s user base increase exponentially

Steve McGovern, CEO, Dubber: “Dubber and Cisco share a common vision of the way that voice data will become a critical resource for all businesses and users in the future. Our joint initiatives have significant ramifications for Dubber, notably in the Company’s two areas of primary focus: growing the Company’s ARR and expanding its telecommunications network footprint. Dubber is now a core feature on an important network for many Carriers, providing the opportunity to expand the same functionality to the Carrier’s other networks. This provides opportunities for Carriers to add an important value-added service horizontally throughout their networks, and also provides a standardized experience for users.

This marks a major milestone in increasing the ubiquity of Dubber as the Unified Call Recording and voice data layer for the world’s leading telecommunication and collaboration platforms. We believe that customers worldwide will continue to prepare for, and respond to, increased regulatory and compliance obligations for their businesses in many markets and industry verticals. Embedding Dubber cloud call recording as a standard service will allow customers to meet these requirements, while providing them access to a host of advanced voice data services.”

Foundation Partner Program

The Dubber platform has been designed specifically for large scale availability across telecommunication and cloud communication networks, as opposed to legacy bespoke recording products for enterprises, which have historically been tied to on-premise equipment, capital expenditure and complex call centre environments.

The Company is actively engaged in discussions with major service providers to become Foundation Partners and, as previously disclosed, the Company expects several of its service provider partners to deploy the Dubber platform as a standard feature across their network base as “Dubber Foundation Partners.”

This will provide Dubber large scale customer reach into end user accounts for jointly upselling additional services, including extended storage, transcription, AI insights and more.

Unified Call Recording – the ‘Single Pane of Glass’

The Company has previously referenced Unified Call Recording (UCR) which defines Dubber’s unique value proposition of UCR and voice data at scale. UCR reflects how businesses and individuals work today, particularly through COVID-19 driven ‘work from home’ settings and hybrid work environments.

The Company has previously highlighted an industry trend whereby large global service providers are releasing their own network offerings in conjunction with cloud collaboration platforms like Zoom Phone, Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex Calling. The Company is experiencing significant demand for these services, driven by its Service Provider partners, particularly in the financial services and healthcare sectors, and primarily in markets like the UK, Europe and North America, where there are immediate needs for compliance solutions across distributed workforces.

The ability to capture recordings and voice data across multiple networks, and have them managed in a single environment, the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud, is a compelling proposition which should underpin and accelerate the Company’s growth.

Continued Integration of Acquired Companies:

Dubber has successfully integrated the acquisitions of Speik and Calln, both of which continue to demonstrate strong ARR retention and growth. These acquisitions have not only provided outstanding development staff but have provided Dubber with key additional technology capabilities as seen in the recent debut of Dubber PCI Comply, based on core Speik technology.

Financials

As required by LR 4.7C.1 to 4.7C.3, expenditure amounts for the quarter ended 30 June 2021 on the Company’s activities on R&D, operations, advertising and marketing, personnel and administration are as contained in the Appendix 4C accompanying this report. Operating costs include $1.869 million pre-paid for cloud services, a non-recurring expense, resulting in a significant discount to normal cost structures for such services. The amount disclosed in section 6.1 of the Appendix 4C is for executive and non-executive director remuneration for the quarter, including superannuation.

Cash receipts for the quarter were $6.7m, in line with expectations from the Company’s ARR and revenue recognized during the quarter. The Company’s ARR is calculated as the next 12 months of subscription revenue net of any incentives.

For example, an agreement signed in July may have a first billing date of September in which case the ARR would be 10x monthly subscription revenue. Dubber’s customers are predominantly service providers, which operate on varied payment terms, which can result in cash being received a further 60-90 days from billing. As a result, the ARR to revenue and cash receipt cycle can be across multiple quarters.

Steve McGovern, CEO, Dubber:

“The Company is very pleased to have continued its growth trajectory at a level established in the previous quarter. We are now one year into a five-year plan that is heavily focussed on expanding its network footprint, increasing ARR and developing revenue generating products and services which can be deployed at scale as a service directly from voice networks.

Our goal for the first year was to double the size of Dubber’s business – from a base of approximately $15m ARR and 190,000 subscribers, which the team has accomplished and exceeded. The opportunities for take up of the Dubber platform, both at a Service Provider and an end user level, have also been accelerated against a landscape where there are multiple key drivers.

The widespread movement to cloud infrastructure has been brought forward by the effects of the global social and economic requirement for working from home. Additionally, the communications sector has quickly expanded to meet these requirements, particularly with the prevalence of Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams and Zoom services. Traditional Service Providers in turn are seeking to enrich their cloud offerings both in line with, and competing against these offerings and, finally, there is an urgent need for the extension of compliance, and customer/employee experience capabilities by enterprises at all levels.

Service providers have both an incentive and the means to deliver these capabilities, and Dubber is uniquely positioned to provide unified call recording and voice data capture services as part of this transition. All of these trends reinforce our view that the ability to turn calls into AI-enriched data, will be a standard feature for every phone in the future.

Dubber is incredibly well placed to become the de facto global provider of voice data through its unique cloud platform, partnered with the world’s leading service providers and cloud team collaboration providers.”

This ASX release has been approved for release to ASX by Steve McGovern, CEO & Managing Director.

Listening when where we listen changes

Listening when where we listen changes

Ending not knowing in financial services

Two aspects of the 2020 pandemic lockdown transformed the way financial institutions handle compliance.

First, Bankers and others in the finance sector stopped interacting face-to-face with customers. An industry that relied on face-to-face interaction and in-person transactions had to find new ways of working.

Second, employers sent staff home to work. Within days employees equipped their home offices with suitable devices and fired up their broadband connections. Video conferencing tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex moved centre stage.

It took some doing. Before lockdown the finance sector had plenty of digital capability. Parts of the industry had been online for decades.

Yet most video interaction focused on internal use. If you could find video conferencing anywhere in a financial institution, chances are people were using it for internal meetings.

Despite no-one anticipating a worldwide pandemic, the sector pivoted. Those inward-looking cameras and microphones now face customers. Businesses moved further online. Like everyone else, compliance staff adapted to life where many people no longer work from an office.

Unsurprisingly this switch brought new compliance challenges.

How do you authenticate a client who wants to give transactional instructions in a Zoom call? How do you know what is being said when it is being said outside of your traditional call center and phone connections? What does quality assurance look like in this new world? Is it possible to reconstruct a transaction from end-to-end across multiple end-points? How will you prove your KYC obligations?

At the same time, customers started to assert their preferred means of communication more strongly. For some that’s Wechat. For others it’s Teams. And others use Whatsapp.

And, while customer confidence in transacting digitally grew exponentially, the primacy of voice remained unchanged. Today, voice remains the preferred means of communicating for any crucial transaction or conversation.

This is where unified voice recording shines. It captures and records any conversation that takes place over any network or channel. It works with telephony, messaging or video conferencing technology.

Because it lives in the cloud and captures voice at the network level, financial services professionals can use unified call recording anywhere.

Unified voice captures working from home calls in the same way it captures calls made at the office. Best of all, it pulls together data from multiple conversations made through multiple channels.

Once captured the information sits in a single central repository that is accessible from anywhere. There’s a clear trail for managers and compliance professionals to follow.

While technology connected us, it didn’t end not knowing. Our ability to listen and collect data was further limited, amplifying an existing problem: not knowing.

Not knowing what someone said and when they said it. Not knowing if the people concerned fulfilled all their obligations.

As we continue to connect in new ways, we also need to learn to listen in new ways. And Unified Call Recording fueling Voice Intelligence is a critical part of the answer.

End not knowing what was said with Automatic Language Detection

End not knowing what was said with Automatic Language Detection

Your customers, suppliers, partners and people can be and are often dispersed across countries, time zones, markets and currencies.

At Dubber, we’re acutely aware of this, operating globally, working with businesses of all sizes across 50+ countries. We serve a plethora of product markets ranging from multinational FSI customers to local veterinarian groups.

After listening to the needs of our diverse customers, a common challenge emerged. How do we solve the problem of multiple languages being spoken on a call recording?

The value of solving this pain point is the difference between success or failure because the difference between a churning customer or an upgrading one can be seconds. According to a 2020 report U.S. companies lose $136.8 billion per year due to avoidable consumer switching (Forrester).

Enabling automatic language detection

Today, we’re launching another first – Dubber Automatic Language Detection!

Automatic language detection automagically verifies, recognises, and validates the primary speaker in the recorded call and effectively resolves the dominant language spoken to the Dubber Voice-AI dynamically.

This means transcriptions, sentiment, tone and alerts align to the detected language – and are then dynamically updated within the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud to appear in your Dubber portal and app instantly after the call.

Try it now!

Automatic language detection is empowering one of our customers operating in the global financial markets to dramatically improve their customer and people experiences and meet compliance mandates. Across 13 different spoken languages, their people now focus on driving value from engagements aligned to their customers desired spoken language.

Exetel partners with Dubber to revolutionise customer experience with unique AI capabilities

Exetel partners with Dubber to revolutionise customer experience with unique AI capabilities

Exetel today announced a game-changing partnership with Dubber, a global leader in Unified Call Recording and Voice Intelligence solutions.

Integrating Dubber’s voice data and artificial intelligence into Banter, its own scalable cloud PBX, unified communications and collaboration platform for business customers, Exetel announced the Australian-first functionality was available as a standard and in-built feature of its VOIP services for business customers. Dubber’s Unified Call Recording will automatically record and transform every conversation on Banter into rich voice data for compliance, customer experience, call sentiment, evidence and performance improvement. Dubber will allow Exetel clients to eliminate the cost, complexity and risk of legacy call recording and unlock the benefits of voice data at scale.

Richard Purdy, Exetel Chief Executive Officer, said he was excited about the potential for business customers. “Bringing the power and intelligence of Dubber’s industry-leading solutions together with Banter’s intuitive and collaborative enterprise platform will drive a step-change in customer service levels not available on any other network in the country.

Steve McGovern, CEO, Dubber, said:

“We are delighted to be working with Exetel to bring the power of Dubber’s unified call recording services to customers on their Banter product suite.

Purdy noted Banter was developed to provide all the functionality its business customers needed into a fully hosted business-grade collaboration platform. “It is fast to install, easy to use, fully flexible and will evolve and grow with a customer’s business. It has been a particularly attractive tool for our customers grappling with the evolving needs of working from home during the COVID period. Integrating Dubber’s Unified Call Recording and Voice Intelligence Solution into Banter takes the offering to another level altogether.”

“Voice sentiment identification is at the cutting edge of complaint resolution and Exetel is proud to partner with Dubber in bringing this service to market.

How to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace?

How to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace?

Practical strategies and steps from the MS – Dubber webinar

Is the hybrid workplace here to stay? How do you meet post-pandemic demands for regaining compliance? And what role does technology play in enabling hybrid work flexibility, improving productivity and lifting CX and EX, all while minimizing risk?

In a recent webinar, Leon Wright, Microsoft’s Advanced Workloads Lead in Australia, together with Andy Lark, Chief Marketing Officer, Dubber, outlined the new hybrid work challenges, from siloed teams – to difficulties in accessing data for compliance insights.

Drawing from the webinar, we highlighted essential strategies to regain compliance in a hybrid workplace. We summarised for you ways organisations can now leverage voice technology to lift compliance and derive critical insights from customer conversations in the hybrid workplace.

The good, the bad and the promise of the hybrid paradox

Microsoft’s Leon Wright believes Covid is just the beginning of the disruption:

“Over a year into the pandemic, digital adoption curves are accelerating and the evidence is in the data: 80% of managers expect more flexible work from home policies post-pandemic. 73% of employees want flexible remote work options to stay and 67% of employees want more remote in-person and collaboration work.”

So how do you embrace flexible workplaces and processes and thrive?

You could start by creating a new work model that prioritizes social, knowledge and human capital. And you could embrace the Employee Experience (EX) and create more listening systems.

“If Covid has taught one thing, it is that managers were not listening… We need to get those listening systems working really well. It’s about configuring those systems for your best productivity,” Leon Wright, Microsoft.

Meeting recordings is fast becoming the new content channel

Leon Wright believes meeting recordings is going to be one of the fastest growing content types at Microsoft. “Recording has become the new champion of knowledge management. It’s a vital tool for continuous learning about customers and employees in a hybrid workplace. It’s not only the employee expectations that fundamentally changed; customer’s expectations have changed too, and we need to listen more to what they have to say.”

Organisations that embrace the seismic hybrid shift and explore ways to tune into their employees and customers may have more of a chance to succeed in this complex reality.

Are you listening? Overcoming distance in a connected world

As the workforce becomes more distant, it is more challenging to get our message across and understand correctly what’s been said between teams and customers.

There is a growing dependence on BYODs and rising use of BYOAs – Bring Your Own Applications. As a result, there is a growing difficulty to manage the Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) across multiple end-points, like mobile, messaging applications, VOIP applications, video meetings, and more. Employees are often switching between these multiple communications methods, and customers are demanding to be met where and how they communicate.

Voice is the largest untapped source of data and insights

Fortunately, cloud-based voice technologies evolved as one of the tools for managing this new complex hybrid workplace. Voice AI, in particular, is playing a vital role in improving CX, EX, compliance, and more. The ability to use AI to automate the otherwise impossible task of understanding sentiment and behavior during calls has become crucial.

“There has never been a more important time to establish a system of record… Many of us have forgotten just how many conversations are voice-based. Today more than 80% of crucial conversations are still voice and the value of that conversation ends as soon as it is over, ” Andy Lark, Dubber “If companies are not allowing compliance breaches to occur in email, they shouldn’t be happening in voice conversations.

The power of Unified Call Recording (UCR) and customer intelligence

The advantage of Dubber on video and call meeting platforms, such as MS Teams, Cisco’s Webex and Zoom, is you have all your conference calls, mobile conversations, SIP trunk connections, messaging, chat and more stored and retrieved from one secure and compliant place.

In the past, a single query, and there are hundreds of them a day, could take hours. Now you can drill down in seconds into conversation sets, pick up troubling keywords and easily review insightful transcriptions.

This impacts dispute resolution, contact centre calls tracking, employee training, sales revenue intelligence, and more.

In sum:

In this hybrid world, the upside of voice technology is the rise of new business performance, sales and productivity opportunities.

The ability to capture crucial conversations across remote and in-office environments and derive insights is paving the way to; improved employee engagement, boosted productivity, better outcomes in sales and compliance.

Cisco and Dubber have you covered with today’s announcement that Dubber is powering call recording on Cisco Webex Calling and UCM Cloud. Your customers can compliantly record, store, share and replay any conversation. This critical new functionality turns on with a click at zero cost and is included in your Cisco subscription.

It’s on with a click

So here’s all you need to do. Whether a new or existing customer, simply turn on call recording in Cisco Control Hub. Your customer will need to accept the Dubber terms and conditions when doing so. That’s it.

From there, our customer success team will be available to assist with onboarding, training and more as you need it.

We’ve partnered with Cisco to reach out to all customers to ensure they are aware of how to compliantly record on Cisco and how to turn it on.

What’s included

Dubber is the global leader in unified call recording and voice AI solutions for compliance, revenue, customer and people intelligence. Basic call recording within Cisco will get you started on the path to ending not knowing, offering:

  • Unlimited recordings of calls
  • Cloud capture and storage
  • Basic Enterprise controls and policy enforcement

Discover the benefits of unified call recording

Users that have compliance or regulatory requirements can easily ensure recording, replay and data storage on Cisco will meet their compliance obligations, regardless of the employee work location. A major concern and need for businesses as a result of the significant shift to remote and hybrid workforce arrangements.

“Expanding our relationship with Cisco marks a major milestone in increasing the ubiquity of Dubber as the Unified Call Recording and voice data layer for the world’s leading collaboration platforms,” said Steve McGovern, CEO, Dubber. “Our strong relationship with Cisco has been a critical part of our growth as a company and we share a common vision of the way that voice data will become a critical resource for all businesses and users in the future.”

A better way to hit replay

Unlike other embedded recording solutions, Dubber addresses critical data, privacy and regulatory requirements while providing a simple and easy pathway to richer functionality as it is required. Dubber recordings and AI-enriched data can easily be unified in the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud alongside conversations from other end-points such as landlines and mobile.

While other solutions offer the ability to record – something we call personal call recording – it’s the kind of recording ideal for an individual but not suitable for business or government. Here are a few of the reasons why:

  1. Secure cloud storage that can be managed centrally – avoiding privacy, data sovereignty and information leakage risks associated with recording to hardware
  2. Easily manage who can record and what can be recorded – implementing data and communications policies is made easy
  3. Controlled provisioning – via the Cisco Control Hub to ensure recordings are only available to eligible employees

Dubber also offers a range of Compliance-specific editions designed to meet the needs of highly regulated organisations and compliance teams.

“Business and Government require more than personal call recording,” said James Slaney, chief operating officer, Dubber. “They need conversations to be captured in a way that is compliant and converted to data for revenue intelligence, dispute resolution, proactive compliance and customer service. Today’s announcement is proof not only of the scalability of Dubber, but the potential we and Cisco see in tapping voice data to improve the performance of businesses and governments worldwide.”

How to start doing more with every conversation

Business users that have compliance or regulatory requirements to record and store calls can easily ensure recording, replay and data storage via the Cisco Webex platform, meeting their compliance obligations, regardless of the employee work location – a major concern for businesses as a result of the significant shift to remote and hybrid workforce arrangements.

“Cisco and Dubber share a common vision of the way that voice data will become a critical resource for all businesses and users in the future. This marks a major milestone in increasing the ubiquity of Dubber as the Unified Call Recording and voice data layer for the world’s leading collaboration platforms,” said Steve McGovern, CEO, Dubber

Cisco as a Foundation Partner

Additionally, Cisco will become Dubber’s first major Foundation Partner. The Dubber Foundation Partner Program utilises the scale and native cloud capability of the Dubber platform, enabling a service provider to embed Dubber within their core service and make basic call recording available for every user as a standard feature. Dubber and its Foundation Partners are then able to cross and upsell richer functionality for compliance, AI services, additional storage, insights and more.

McGovern added: “Dubber Foundation benefits Cisco and Dubber customers with a required capability as a standard feature while providing for the broader journey whereby the content of calls can be transformed into rich, usable data for compliance, productivity, insights and customer engagement.

“Customers worldwide are responding to increased regulatory and compliance obligations for their businesses. Embedding tools, like Dubber call recording, as a standard service that is available to Webex users will help customers meet those requirements while enabling easy access to powerful advanced voice data services,” said Lorrissa Horton, Vice President and General Manager of Webex Calling and Online.

“The Foundation Partner Program provides Dubber with a significant additional revenue stream while preserving our current revenue models and creating the opportunity to accelerate growth in our core products. Having 100% of a customer base enabled provides Dubber and Cisco the opportunity to significantly drive consumption and uptake of call recording and voice data services on the platform,” said McGovern.

As well as being an embedded solution, Dubber addresses critical data, privacy and regulatory requirements while providing a simple and easy pathway to richer functionality as it is required. Dubber recordings and AI-enriched data can easily be unified in the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud alongside conversations from other end-points such as land-lines and mobile.

“Business and Government require more than personal call recording,” said James Slaney, COO, Dubber. “They need conversations to be captured in a way that is compliant and converted to data for revenue intelligence, dispute resolution, proactive compliance and customer service. Today’s announcement is proof not only of the scalability of Dubber, but the potential we and Cisco see in tapping voice data to improve the performance of businesses and governments worldwide.”
