These organizations use Genesys technology to reimagine and orchestrate CX journeys — while giving employees the ability to deliver smarter outcomes with less effort. They’ve mastered the use of assisted and self-service through digital channels — and empowered employees with modern experiences.

  • Improved both customer and employee experience
  • Reimagined or orchestrated CX journeys
  • Empowered employees with modern experiences

    • Abandonment rate

This category recognizes non-profits or other organizations that are leveraging Genesys for the greater good in order to make the world a better place.

Please include examples, stories and metrics if possible.
