Five9 Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Contact Center as a Service for the Ninth Time

Five9 Recognized for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five9 (NASDAQ: FIVN), provider of the Genius CX Platform, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) for its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Five9 has been recognized as a Leader in the CCaaS Magic Quadrant nine times.

"We believe being named a Leader for the ninth time reflects something we've been building toward for years: AI isn't replacing the contact center; it's expanding what it can do," said Amit Mathradas, Chief Executive Officer at Five9. "That's the idea behind Humantic CX, our vision for human and AI agents working together on one platform, each making the other better. That's smarter CX with every interaction."

The Five9 Genius CX Platform serves organizations of all sizes, from midsize contact centers to large enterprises with more than 10,000 agents. Over the past year, Five9 has expanded its platform with Voice AI Agents, built to autonomously handle customer conversations and bring in a human agent when needed; Agentic QM, which adds analysis and coaching to quality management; attribute- and AI-enabled routing; an open orchestration framework; and vertical integrations, including Epic. Advanced Campaign Manager, launched in early 2026 and built on the 2024 acquisition of Acqueon, extends Five9's long-standing outbound dialer capabilities with multichannel list and campaign management. Five9's technical account managers continue to help customers get value from the platform after go-live.
