SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

NICE inContact (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that CXone cloud customer experience platform received the highest average product satisfaction rating from its customers, according to a new report by contact center and back-office research and consulting firm DMG Consulting LLC.

DMG Consulting’s 2017-2018 Cloud-Based Contact Center Infrastructure Market Report presented product satisfaction ratings, broken down into several categories, as collected from cloud contact center users. NICE inContact CXone received the highest marks in 16 of 19 individual categories, including a perfect score in 14. Among the top-ranked aspects of CXone were its multi-skill routing and queueing features, ease of configuration/use/maintenance, supervisor interface and user experience, IVR features and functionality, blended (inbound/outbound) capabilities, and recording features, as well as real-time, historical and ad-hoc reporting, platform reliability and system scalability categories. As a result, NICE inContact had the highest average product satisfaction rating of all companies represented in the DMG report.

“As of the end of 2016, DMG estimates that the revenue size of the cloud-based contact center infrastructure market (excluding carrier revenue) was at least $2.8 billion. [As this] figure represents only 11.4% of contact center seats, the revenue potential for the cloud-based contact center infrastructure market is in the tens of billions,” according to the Cloud-Based Contact Center Infrastructure Report. “Selecting the right vendor partner when buying a cloud-based contact center infrastructure solution is critical for the success of the initiative because vendors will ultimately be running a vital part of the infrastructure and operations, and the client organization will need to work closely with this vendor to achieve mutual success,” said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting.
