As organizations respond to the current landscape and shift their priorities, Genesys is experiencing a surge in Genesys Cloud platform adoption from businesses across the world. In fact, 60% of its top 50 customers are multinational organizations, and the platform is in use in more than 70 countries, driven in part by support from the company’s expansive partner ecosystem. In addition, many of the world’s emerging category leaders run on Genesys Cloud with the top 30 alone handling hundreds of millions of customer interactions annually.
With its relentless focus on cloud-delivered innovation and feature velocity, Genesys will continue to deliver advancements across analytics and reporting, digital, Genesys Workforce Engagement Management, and artificial intelligence (AI) this year.

The features are easy to implement, well-documented, and fully integrated without breaking any of the existing functionality. The enterprise-level support is very responsive when it comes to client success, technical support (rarely needed) and road-map engagement.”
