TP will integrate agentic AI solutions from emerging tech leaders Ema and Parloa to help clients combine and scale agentic AI with human experts to advance intelligent orchestration of AI and emotional intelligence across customer experience and back-office services.
NEW YORK and PARIS, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global digital services leader TP today announced partnerships with emerging leaders in agentic artificial intelligence (AI), Ema and Parloa. These partnerships advance TP’s goal of delivering a steady pipeline of AI innovations that help clients accelerate AI adoption, enhance customer engagement, and realize value faster across their front-office and back-office activities.
The move underscores TP’s ongoing commitment to driving technological advancements that address evolving market demands. Earlier this year, TP launched a €100 million AI investment program designed to strengthen its leadership in scaling intelligent operations and deliver greater value for its clients. The company’s partnerships with Ema and Parloa mark a new milestone in this strategy, alongside TP’s recent partnership with real-time accent translation software provider Sanas.
Together, these investments focus on innovating the use of advanced AI tools alongside TP Experts to augment their work, enabling Experts to provide more personalized and empathetic customer support and more efficient professional services.
“More than adopting the latest technology, we are orchestrating innovation with a highly skilled team and rigorous standards and processes, all guided by strategic vision built on deep industry expertise,” said Thomas Mackenbrock, TP Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer. “Our mission: to deliver experiences that are smarter, faster, creating value and driving sustainable growth.”
“By blending human expertise and empathy with advanced agentic AI, we are not only transforming customer experience but also propelling our digital transformation forward as we expand beyond traditional CX into high-growth areas that are driving the future of business,” Mackenbrock continued. “In the process, we are also creating new professional opportunities within our company.”
Scaled, Agile and Personalized Voice Engagement and Back-Office Processes
Ema and TP will work jointly with dedicated teams to further enhance and implement Ema’s agentic systems to enterprise needs for a broad variety of tasks. In addition, TP becomes the exclusive global go-to-market partner and integrator of Ema’s AI Agents platforms and solutions for 400+ clients. Last year alone, TP saw double-digit growth in back-office services, a market that is expected to reach approximately $320 billion in the next four years1 driven by the rising demand for digital transformation, coupled with operational and cost efficiency.
“Our collaboration with TP marks a pivotal move toward building the future of work where intelligent, autonomous AI seamlessly integrates with human expertise to elevate both experience and performance,” said Surojit Chatterjee, CEO and co-founder of Ema. “By uniting Ema’s advanced AI agents with TP’s global reach and operational strength, we are enabling organizations to amplify human potential, spark real transformation, and create more agile, inventive, and resilient teams.”
Parloa’s platform seamlessly integrates AI agents with human experts, enabling TP to elevate, automate, and scale multilingual voice engagement for customer interactions. By delegating routine customer voice inquiries to AI, TP Experts can focus on solving more complex, high-impact challenges. Both companies are collaborating closely to further enhance and implement the Parloa suite of solutions and bring them to market. Initially, TP will be Parloa’s strategic go-to market partner for selected target companies.
In addition, TP has the right to invest up to US$15 million in the next financing round of Ema and $10 million in Parloa.
“Our partnership with TP advances how businesses integrate agentic AI with human expertise to drive superior outcomes,” said Malte Kosub, CEO & Founder of Parloa. “For years, the focus was on building faster, more efficient digital channels, often at the expense of more human, voice-based communications which customers prefer because it is naturally easier. With TP, we are enabling their Experts to seamlessly delegate routine customer voice inquiries to our AI agents, thereby unlocking greater capacity to address intricate, high-impact challenges. This collaboration exemplifies how AI can not only transform operational efficiency but also enhance the human touch in delivering forward-thinking solutions that create lasting value for clients.”
Parloa provides agentic AI voice engagement and support in 137 languages and dialects.
