Adoption of ServiceNow-centric CCaaS provider highlights growing demand for voice-first AI engagement platform.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 3CLogic, the leading AI-powered contact center platform purpose-built for ServiceNow®, today announced its selection by Astreya Partners, a global IT managed services provider (MSP), to implement its Voice AI and contact center solution integrated with ServiceNow. The strategic partnership aims to enhance Astreya’s service delivery, ensuring efficient and effective communication for their diverse clientele, including six of the Magnificent Seven.

Meeting the Challenges of Modern IT Services
Dedicated to enhancing user experiences and driving digital transformation, Astreya, the company with over 2,400 IT professionals across more than 40 countries, identified key opportunities to optimize its service delivery. Priority among them was to provide a modern, conversational alternative to email, which, while preferred by many customers, was often inefficient for handling complex or time-sensitive requests. In addition, the organization sought to enable a unified customer experience (CX) for agents and administrators while enhancing operational efficiency and improving resolution times.

“Astreya is focused on staying ahead of the curve. With 3CLogic’s Voice AI and contact center solutions integrated into ServiceNow, we are strengthening our ability to deliver digital workplace services that scale, adapt, and continually raise the bar for service excellence.” – Romil Bahl, CEO, Astreya

Merging Contact Center and ITSM into one
Following a thorough evaluation process, 3CLogic was selected for its ability to complement Astreya’s existing investment in ServiceNow’s IT Service Management (ITSM) product. The integration will empower the organization to maximize its existing investment in the Now® platform while providing a seamless and consolidated workspace for each of its highly specialized service desk teams. The partnership is set to transform Astreya’s Digital Workplace Services and high-value customer interactions with the addition of several capabilities, including:

• Omnichannel Platform: By unifying 3CLogic Voice with ServiceNow ITSM’s existing digital channels, Astreya will eliminate the inefficiencies of agent swivel-chairing between systems and channels, streamlining daily operations and speed of resolution.
• Voice AI & Automation: The integration of Voice AI to deliver conversational and personalized voicebots integrated with ServiceNow data and agentic AI, will allow for the automation of responses to common inquiries, while intelligently escalating more complex requests to live agents.
• Real-time Transcription and Agent Optimization: Integrated directly into the ServiceNow agent workspace, real-time call transcripts will assist agents with next-best actions while accelerating post-call tasks with generative AI call summaries and resolution notes together with ServiceNow’s Now Assist®.
• AI Insights and Quality Assurance: Leveraging Speech Analytics and AI-powered Agent Performance and Coaching features, the organization will be able to analyze and train its service desk team at scale without having to sample and review calls.

“IT departments and services are the backbone to any modern organization,” explains Bob Doherty, VP of Sales at 3CLogic. “With IT overseeing the success of the enterprise, weaving this level of functionality into existing ServiceNow workflows to drive exponential ROI is a no-brainer.”

Future Expansion Plans
Together with the addition of 3CLogic, Astreya anticipates the ServiceNow-centric contact center enhancements will not only improve points of deflection but also empower their highly specialized live agents, maximizing their effectiveness in addressing customer needs, while reducing operating costs. 

Following the initial deployment of 3CLogic’s solutions, Astreya plans to extend its capabilities across additional divisions and managed service offerings. The partnership signifies a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in service delivery, positioning Astreya as a leader in the IT managed services space.

“We are teaming up with 3CLogic to revolutionize our ServiceDesk offerings with cutting-edge AI technology. This strategic partnership enables Astreya to deliver exceptional customer and employee experiences through intelligent self-service, conversational AI, and AI-powered sentiment analytics. By integrating 3CLogic’s innovative solutions, Astreya will drive operational efficiency, reduce costs, and provide personalized support to our clients. This collaboration marks a significant step in Astreya’s mission to harness AI-driven innovation and empower businesses to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.” – Jothiganesh Nagarajan, COO, Astreya.

3CLogic is a ServiceNow certified Technology and Advanced Platform Build partner with offerings available for ServiceNow’s IT Service Management, CRM and Industry Workflows, and HR Service Delivery products. The organization will be unveiling its latest set of Voice AI and contact center capabilities at a number of upcoming global events in Dallas, London, Chicago, New York, Munich, and Amsterdam.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (Nasdaq: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global workforce solutions and integrated facility management (IFM) platform provider, today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Obita, a Singapore-based, enterprise-level cross-border payment and digital financial network. Under the MOU, YY Group will integrate Obita’s enterprise-grade, stablecoin payment infrastructure into its global gig workforce platforms and corporate operations, equipping YY Group with scalable, compliant rails for receivables, payables and treasury management.

Obita shared that its infrastructure is designed to simplify cross-border settlements for enterprises while maintaining high compliance and security standards. Businesses require payment rails that are intuitive and regulatory-ready, alongside enterprise-grade controls such as role-based approvals and real-time monitoring. These capabilities, Obita emphasized, are what make stablecoin-powered infrastructure a credible foundation for serving both gig workers and enterprises at scale. Both Obita and YY Group are committed to leveraging this model to expand financial inclusion for gig workers worldwide, particularly in emerging markets

On the enterprise level, the integration will streamline YY Group’s cross-border capital flows, including intra-group financing and loan repayment, supporting efficiency and margin improvement as YY Group scales. For platform users, particularly international students and gig workers, Obita’s technology will offer faster, lower-cost payouts and the option to hold savings in fiat-backed stablecoins to mitigate local currency volatility, strengthening worker engagement and retention within YY’s ecosystem. Simplified cross-border settlement also underpins the Company’s international expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other growth markets, where the Company plans to launch regional pilots.

Mike Fu, Group Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, said, “Cross-border payments are a key operational lever for scaling our global platform. Partnering with Obita enables us to optimize enterprise costs while delivering faster, more transparent, lower-cost settlement options to the hundreds of thousands of workers and clients we support worldwide. This positions YY Group to scale more efficiently, strengthen our margins and accelerate our global expansion initiatives.”

Zhang Dayong, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Obita, commented, “YY Group represents exactly the type of large-scale, real-world ecosystem where compliant stablecoin infrastructure can deliver immediate impact. Our collaboration shows how technology and regulation can work hand in hand to make cross-border payouts efficient, secure and inclusive.”

Senior leaders from both companies recently participated in the PayFi Summit, TOKEN2049 Singapore’s most influential payment conference, to announce their collaboration and discuss how compliant stablecoin infrastructure can transform cross-border worker payments and accelerate the digitalization of the gig economy. Both companies emphasized this model’s potential to enhance financial inclusion for gig workers globally, particularly in underserved regions.
