Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been changing the game for businesses for some time now. MSPs and BSPs are realizing the power of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) technologies to revolutionize how they provide services and generate more business.
But what are NLP and CV, you ask? I’m glad you asked!
Understanding NLP and CV
NLP, which stands for Natural Language Processing (not to be confused with National Lampoon’s Parody NLP), is a subfield of AI that deals with computers’ interactions with humans using natural language through speech and text. All those times you say, “Hey Siri, what’s the weather like today?” – that’s NLP at work.
CV stands for Computer Vision, not to be confused with ‘Computer Vampire’ – it’s a field of AI that deals with the analysis and interpretation of visual content (images and videos). For example, the ability of Facebook to check our faces while tagging, object detection in images, and much more.
Benefits for MSPs and BSPs
Now, you may be asking yourself, “Okay, cool, but how do NLP and CV help MSPs and BSPs?”
Improved Customer Support
MSPs and BSPs can use NLP to analyze customer interactions and improve service by providing quick and effective solutions to their inquiries. On the other hand, a CV can help identify patterns in customer behavior and preferences that businesses can use to optimize their store layouts and increase sales. That’s what we call killing two birds with one stone!
Did you know that businesses that prioritize customer service can generate up to 60% more profit than those that do not? This is where NLP and CV come in to help optimize customer support services. MSPs and BSPs can leverage NLP technology to analyze customer interactions and identify commonly faced issues to provide quick and effective solutions.
In addition, utilizing CV technology can help in analyzing customer behavior in a physical environment, such as retail stores. Analyzing patterns in customer traffic flow and preferences can assist businesses in optimizing store layouts, increasing conversion rates, and ultimately boosting sales. By utilizing both technologies, businesses can enhance their customer support services, improve their customer experience, and ultimately increase their profits.
Enhanced Security
Increasingly, data security is becoming a major concern for businesses. NLP and CV can help MSPs and BSPs improve their security measures by identifying potential threats and anomalies in data. For instance, NLP could be used to analyze feedback and identify potential fraud attempts, while CV can be used for facial recognition and access control.
Did you know that 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses? MSPs and BSPs must prioritize security measures to safeguard their client’s data, and that’s where NLP and CV come into play.
NLP can help analyze and identify fraudulent attempts by assessing customer feedback and support interactions, allowing MSPs and BSPs to quickly identify potential threats. On the other hand, a CV can be used for facial recognition and access control, providing enhanced security for restricted areas.
The combination of NLP and CV technologies can improve the security of businesses’ critical data, giving MSPs and BSPs the peace of mind that comes with knowing their clients are well protected. So don’t gamble with security – prioritize it with the power of NLP and CV!
Improved Marketing and Sales
MSPs and BSPs can utilize these tools to improve their marketing and sales efforts. NLP can be used to analyze customer sentiment and feedback, which can help understand customer needs better, combined with CV technology which could be used for visual search allowing customers to search for the product with ease.
Did you know that more than 75% of online shoppers consider product visuals important when making a purchase decision? MSPs and BSPs wanting to remain competitive must capitalize on the power of NLP and CV to stay ahead of the game.
By utilizing NLP technology to analyze customer sentiment and feedback on social media platforms and e-commerce websites, businesses can harness better customer insights and adjust their marketing and sales strategies accordingly. Additionally, a CV can be used for visual search, allowing customers to search for products using images instead of text, which can significantly enhance user experience and drive sales.
The combination of NLP and CV technologies can help businesses understand their customers’ needs better, tailor their marketing strategies, and ultimately drive sales revenue. Don’t fall behind in these ever-evolving times – stay in the game with NLP and CV!
Use Cases
Now you might be thinking, “Wow, that sounds amazing, but where will I come across these technologies?” Well, we have some real-life use cases for you.
Virtual Assistants
Companies could create their own virtual assistants using NLP, helping customers with their support and service needs.
Did you know that by 2021, there will be an estimated 1.8 billion users of virtual digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri worldwide? That’s a lot of people talking to devices!
By creating their own virtual assistants using NLP, MSPs, and BSPs can help customers with their support and service needs more efficiently than ever before. Customers can get the help they need around the clock, on any device, and businesses can save time and resources that would have been used on traditional customer service methods.
Whether it’s a complex issue or just a minor query, virtual assistants can save both the clients and the provider’s time and offer an elevated level of convenience. Say goodbye to long email chains and waiting on the phone – say hello to the future of customer service with virtual assistants powered by NLP!

Using a CV to analyze customer behavior in retail environments can help businesses identify popular products and frequently visited areas, which can be used to optimize store layouts and improve marketing strategies. By understanding customers’ preferences and needs, businesses can create personalized experiences that keep customers coming back for more.
Furthermore, with technologies such as facial recognition in place, businesses can personalize promotions by tailoring them to the customer’s attributes, their purchase history, or their browsing behavior. Maximizing sales and providing customers with a memorable experience is not solely based on the products in store but also on how businesses choose to interact with their customers.
Sentiment Analysis
NLP could be used to analyze customer feedback, reviews, and ratings on social media and e-commerce websites. Using NLP could help MSPs and BSPs improve their services by understanding customer needs and preferences.
