AOK PLUS Goes Live on NiCE’s Unified CX AI Platform

Leading German health insurer brings NiCE Cognigy AI agents and CXone together to support more than 5 million annual member interactions

HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that AOK PLUS is now live on NiCE Cognigy and CXone, making it one of the first customers to bring AI agents and member service operations together on NiCE’s unified CX AI platform. The deployment unites AI-powered self-service, intelligent orchestration, workflows and employee expertise to support more than 5 million annual member interactions.

AOK PLUS began its AI transformation with NiCE Cognigy in 2025, introducing AI-powered voice self-service to identify member needs and direct inquiries to the appropriate teams. With CXone, AOK PLUS is extending that intelligence across its broader member service operation, connecting AI-powered interactions with 2,400 employees and 120 skills that intelligently route inquiries based on employee competencies. Together, NiCE Cognigy and CXone create one foundation for orchestrating automated and employee-assisted service from interaction to resolution.

The unified approach is already operating at significant scale. AOK PLUS is supporting more than 5 million annual member interactions on CXone and has achieved a call acceptance rate above 95%. The organization also migrated more than 1,400 telephone numbers with zero downtime. The implementation was delivered by NiCE in collaboration with long-standing Platinum partner CCT Solutions.

Trust and data sovereignty are central to AOK PLUS’s approach. The organization is among the first public health insurers in Germany to move member service operations to the cloud and the first insurer in Saxony and Thuringia to deploy AI-powered voice automation in a sovereign cloud environment. Deployed in NiCE’s EU Sovereign Cloud, CXone provides the security, governance and data sovereignty required to scale AI while meeting stringent German and European healthcare requirements.

“Our members are getting faster, more personalized support without ever losing the security and trust they expect,” said Sebastian Reichenbach, Project Lead Customer Experience & Contact Center, AOK PLUS. “That’s what happens when AI agents and our 2,400 employees work from the same platform, so no matter who or what responds, the experience feels seamless.”

“AOK PLUS is turning millions of member interactions into personalized, trusted experiences at scale, and that’s the real payoff of bringing AI agents and member service together on one platform,” said Darren Rushworth, President, NiCE International. “And they’re doing it without compromising the security and data sovereignty their members expect.”
