CXone provides extensive functionality that meets the needs of organizations of all sizes by combining best-in-class Omnichannel Routing, Workforce Optimization, Analytics, Automation and Artificial Intelligence. CXone runs on AWS, utilizing microservices, and is based on an open, cloud native foundation, which provides full elasticity, rapid turn up and unparalleled reliability. Furthermore, CXone includes hundreds of APIs and enables integrations with dozens of partner solutions as well as customer-specific extensions, creating a broad technology ecosystem that extends its capabilities.

Organizations migrating to CXone will now benefit from capabilities available only in a true unified cloud platform. They can now:

• Increase and reduce size with full elasticity to address immediate operational needs in a pay as you go model
• Focus their energy on customer experience innovation rather than on infrastructure integrations
• Connect customer journeys in a highly personalized way across all channels
• Turn smart, state-of-the-art analytics insight into results in real time
• Unlock employee potential, and engage, motivate, and optimize the workforce
• Streamline processes and interactions using machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotic automation

CXone provides organizations with a clear and easy migration path from legacy on-premises and hosted solutions to a full, cloud native environment. This can be done at their own pace and while protecting existing investments.

Barak Eilam, CEO, NICE:

“In today’s demanding environment, business as usual is no longer an option. Organizations are expected to constantly evolve and transform themselves to meet consumer demands. Using outdated technologies that require extreme integration efforts and long upgrade cycles cannot address the current demands of the market.

“With NICE inContact CXone, organizations can now focus on day-to-day customer experience innovations rather than investing their energy in infrastructure integrations. The CXone platform allows them to rapidly and dynamically adapt their customer experience programs, act smarter to deliver a personalized journey across channels and touch points, and respond faster due to the agility of the platform’s cloud infrastructure. These will be the key attributes of today’s and tomorrow’s industry leaders.

“CXone is the outcome of the work of hundreds of engineers from NICE, inContact, and Nexidia, working together to merge the best and most advanced technologies into one cloud platform from one vendor.”
