Telefonica Tech broadens its AI offerings, introducing Perplexity to the B2B sector
Telefónica Tech, a commercial brand under Telefonica, has partnered with the US start-up Perplexity to offer the AI-based search engine service 'Perplexity Enterprise Pro' to businesses in Spain. This partnership is part of Telefonica's strategy to facilitate access to cutting-edge AI technologies in all markets it operates.
The key features and benefits of 'Perplexity Enterprise Pro' include:
- Streamlined Corporate Knowledge Discovery: Designed to enhance internal decision-making, this enterprise search tool analyses and synthesises data in real-time from various sources, including the internet, proprietary business data, and customer-specific internal information.
- Verifiable Responses: 'Perplexity Enterprise Pro' delivers accurate answers supported by source citations and multimedia content. It also offers unlimited query refinement, enabling users to fine-tune their questions for more tailored responses.
- Security and Privacy: Security and privacy are central to 'Perplexity Enterprise Pro'. The platform offers Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for secure and fast access to corporate systems. It is SOC2 certified, ensuring strong cloud data protection controls. The user management system allows for efficient access control, and customer data is not used to train Perplexity’s models. Queries are deleted after seven days to enhance data privacy, and the system sends alerts to customers to help maintain document control.
- Professional Services and Pilot Trial: Telefónica Tech offers professional services and a three-month pilot trial to assist companies in adopting and integrating this AI-powered search solution.
The partnership aims to help businesses accelerate decision-making by responding to complex queries in minutes while maintaining stringent security and privacy standards. This offering reflects Telefónica Tech’s strategy to expand its AI solution portfolio for the B2B market by providing a secure, reliable, and advanced AI search platform tailored to enterprise needs.
