SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five9, (NASDAQ: FIVN), provider of the Intelligent CX Platform, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Contact Center-as-a-Service (CCaaS) Applications Software 2024 Vendor Assessment.

The integration combines Salesforce Einstein with Five9’s suite of AI solutions to empower agents to better service customer requests, improve contact center management’s understanding of the overall health of operations, and help to provide customer resolutions that exceed expectations.

“As part of the IDC MarketScape research, IDC found that Five9 is a good fit for companies looking to leverage AI and real-time insights to drive operational efficiencies, agent performance, and customer satisfaction,” said Mary Wardley, program vice president, Customer Service and Contact Center at IDC. “Five9 delivers effective AI capabilities across channels and its AI suite of offerings is in a continuous development cycle, emphasizing its ongoing commitment to innovation.”
