Unity Communications Leads Future with Bold Shift to Hybrid AI BPO
United States, August 11, 2025 -- Award-winning business process outsourcing (BPO) company Unity Communications has made its boldest move yet: a complete transition to a hybrid AI-integrated BPO provider —a first among midsize firms committed to leading and redefining the future of outsourcing.
During a short town hall on July 16, livestreamed from the Harton office to Unity's global teams, Founder and CEO Patrick Brown shared a clear and forward-looking message:
'We're going to be positioning ourselves as a hybrid, or an AI-enabled BPO [company], and we're going to be serving a segment of the market that is very much in need of these services.'
The Hybrid BPO Model
Unity Communications's transformation moves beyond AI-enabled to fully AI-embedded. From day one, delivery teams in the Philippines and Mexico will work alongside intelligent systems to drive speed, precision, and consistency without losing the human empathy that defines the company's service.
'Our future is layered—AI, automation, and people working together,' Brown said. 'Our ability to grow and move forward will largely depend on how we bring together human talent, human emotion, connection with AI, and automation. For us, it's going to be hybrid.'
To support this transformation, the BPO firm has launched a company-wide AI Certification Program led by its service delivery department. Employees will train in tools such as ChatGPT, develop prompt engineering skills, and apply automation to enhance their daily tasks.
AI is now a core skill, and Unity Communications is leading the way at scale.
Three-Phase AI Transformation Roadmap
Unity Communications's evolution is structured, ambitious, and already underway:
This roadmap sets the foundation for the company to lead the next era of BPO: intelligent, agile, and built for long-term growth.
New Roles and Emerging Expertise
With embedded automation into daily operations, Unity Communications creates new roles that define the future of BPO, such as:
Meanwhile, each department has appointed an AI champion, a leader responsible for driving internal adoption, testing, and cross-team collaboration.
Own the Market the Giants Missed
While larger BPO providers focus on enterprise-scale deals, Unity Communications is purpose-built for the underserved one- to 20-seat market of fast-growing businesses that need automation but lack the in-house expertise to implement it.
Unity Communications makes AI accessible by covering upfront development costs and using performance-based pricing to ensure value.
'We're agile, client-first, and built for speed,' the CEO said. 'We are positioned to lead this space. We don't need to replace revenue loss with AI. We're growing. We have the ability to rank as a top AI-augmented BPO [company].'
Yes, transformation can feel uncertain, but Unity Communications is moving forward. With a culture of learning, support, and shared leadership, the BPO company encourages its employees to grow with the company and participate in this 'once-in-a-generation opportunity,' the next bold chapter in the BPO company's journey of continuous growth.

Yahoo polls: How are Canadians responding to the latest U.S. Trump tariffs on the country?
Have your say: In this Yahoo News Canada poll, we ask Canadians to share how the Trump tariffs are shaping their travel and shopping choices This summer, Canadians find themselves grappling with a bit more than just the end-of-season and back-to-school rush. As trade discord with the U.S. continues to dominate headlines, changes in household habits abound. Escalating tensions over Trump tariffs have resulted in a surge of cultural and economic responses including impacts on travel, shopping and Labour Day long weekend plans. Yahoo News Canada wants to hear from you! How is the moment weighing on your pride and prudence? Are you boycotting U.S. products in favour of local businesses? We want you to have your say. Are you planning any U.S. travel this month? Canadian travel to the U.S. has seen a decline owing to the political tensions between the two nations, with trips plummeting dramatically and flight bookings cut significantly. Instead of flying down south, Canadians are picking Europe, Latin America or even opting for Canadian locales for their getaways. Flight bookings to Europe recently witnessed a surge while travel the U.S. continued to lag. Are you opting for products made in Canada over imported goods? Surveys from the last few months reveal Canadian attitudes toward the U.S. have only soured over time as Trump intensified his tariff attacks on Canada. By February 2025, approximately two-thirds of Canadians had reduced their purchases of American products, both in stores and online, according to a Leger poll. More than halfway through the year, that trend has only grown among Canadians, according to a July Ipsos poll. However, affordability continues to matter to Canadian shoppers looking to buy local goods. A recent report from PwC Canada found that while Canadian consumers are willing to pay a premium for locally produced food, a majority would ultimately choose a lower-priced imported product over a more expensive domestic equivalent. Canada and U.S. trade tariff jabs U.S. President Donald Trump's recent round of tariff increase saw Canada's share escalate to 35 per cent on various goods from Aug. 1. This came after Trump sharply raised tariffs on Canadian exports in the spring of 2025 — imposing 25 per cent duties on steel, aluminium and auto parts before slapping another increase in summer. Canada continues to have its retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods in place to defend its industries. Regardless of the ongoing friction, the USMCA continues to shield most of the Canadian exports from tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney's says. Damage from the trade standoff was strongly felt across Canada's manufacturing sector with the jobs market shedding 41,000 positions in July and analysts calling for an additional 10,000 jobs last month. Are you travelling this Labour Day weekend?

House Judiciary Committee requests briefings from NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB commissioners on broadcast blackouts
After decades of the four biggest professional leagues in the United States receiving a broadcasting antitrust exemption, the House Judiciary Committee may be looking to alter that law. The committee has formally requested briefings with the commissioners of four of the U.S.'s main professional leagues with the intention of discussing broadcasting markets and blackout exemptions. In a statement released Monday, the Judiciary Committee included the letters sent out to each of the four commissioners: Adam Silver (NBA), Roger Goodell (NFL), Gary Bettman (NHL) and Rob Manfred (MLB). Per the statement, the committee plans to meet with the commissioners to discuss the Sports Broadcasting Act (SBA), a law that gives sports leagues an antitrust exemption for broadcasting games on network television. The SBA, which was passed in 1961, was originally passed in order to help the NFL organize its broadcast rights as a collective, streamlining the process. But now, per the statement, the House is looking into "the sufficiency of existing law" in terms of the current broadcast landscape. "The current state of the sports broadcasting market has changed considerably since the 1960s. The majority of sports viewership now occurs outside of traditional network broadcasting," the committee writes in the statement. "As a result, most of the distribution agreements that a sports league enters into are subject to antitrust challenges, while a narrow subset are not, creating legal uncertainty, distorting the market, and effectively expanding the blind spot for potential antitrust violations." The request was made by two Republican representatives: Jim Jordan (R-OH), the House Judiciary Committee Chairman, and Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust. Two Democratic representatives, Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Jerry Nadley (D-NY) were also named in the letters; both are ranking members of the Judiciary Committee. In the letters, the committee requests that the commissioners speak on their individual league's "participation in the sports broadcasting market and related matters." Silvers, Goodell, Bettman and Manfred are asked to arrange for the briefing before Aug. 25.

State Street Seizes Back $317B ETF Empire After 26 Years--Here's Why It Matters Now
State Street Corp. (NYSE:STT) is moving to bring the sales and marketing of its flagship Select Sector SPDR Funds back in-house after more than two decades of outsourcing. Beginning in December, State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors will replace ALPS Inc. as the distributor for the 11-fund suite, which collectively manages about $317 billion in assets, according to a regulatory filing. This change means fees once paid to ALPS will now remain with State Street, though the bottom-line benefit will depend on sales and marketing expenses. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with STT. The shift marks a notable change for some of the most recognizable products in the $12 trillion ETF industry. Since 1998, when the S&P 500 sector-tracking ETFs debuted, State Street had outsourced distribution and later marketing of these funds to ALPS. Now, products like the $84 billion Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) and the $51 billion Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) will be sold directly under State Street's own umbrella. The firm has begun hiring dedicated ETF sales specialists, a move that follows its recent asset management rebrand and suggests a push to consolidate brand identity and investor outreach. This isn't happening in isolation. Other legacy ETF managers are also exploring ways to capture more economics from their largest funds. In July, Invesco Ltd. sought shareholder approval to change the structure of its Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 a step that could allow the firm to finally earn direct revenue from the massive vehicle. For State Street, reclaiming control over its Select Sector SPDR lineup could be more than an operational shift it may open the door to stronger alignment between product management, distribution strategy, and potential revenue growth.
