Advanced Digital Interactions Management with True To Interval (TTI)

NICE continues to innovate and maintain leadership as we bring workforce engagement management (WEM) to the Digital era.

NICE is the leading WEM provider that offers this level of accuracy. The new CXone dashboard improves visibility and ease of use, breaking down complex data into clear and digestible business insights.

Barry Cooper, President, CX Division, NICE, said, “AI is creating a ripple effect driving organizations to create full convergence of CX assets. As organizations adopt AI, they realize that the only way to do it is with an all-encompassing interaction centric platform. With the new fall release, CXone is now the only platform that can serve as the foundation for any organization’s CX AI strategy.”

“Every CX-oriented enterprise recognizes the need to incorporate AI in their customer and agent workflows for more personalized interactions and task completion,” said Derek Top, Research Director and Senior Analyst with Opus Research. “The latest CXone release allows them to modernize their CX infrastructure and augment their service offerings.
