(NASDAQ:ZM) to make it easier for teams to work together more efficiently. New integrations for Genesys Cloud\u2122 with Zoom Phone and Zoom Meetings enable organisations to power their entire enterprise communications strategy and improve collaboration across the business. Genesys is the first partner to provide integrations to both Zoom solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Organisations gain added flexibility and control as a result of the secure public cloud contact centre platform from Genesys combined with Zoom\u2019s video-first business calling and meeting solutions. Easy to configure with little IT support, the integrations provide a single unified interface so employees can easily access both industry leading cloud solutions, work more productively and provide better customer service.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Genesys and Zoom customers,<strong> Company Nurse<\/strong> and <strong>Sentinel Benefits and Financial Group<\/strong>, anticipate benefits for their organisations as a result of the integrations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Henry Svendblad, chief technology officer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/press?release=122770\">Company Nurse<\/a>, the premier nurse triage and injury reporting service for workplace injuries, said, \u201cZoom and Genesys are making it simpler for businesses like ours to get the most out of their cloud contact centre and communications solutions. Our employees already use both solutions today, and a closer integration means they\u2019ll be able to work together easier, such as initiating a Zoom video meeting from within their Genesys Cloud instance.\u00a0As we expand our tele-triage capabilities, we are excited to be one of the first to take advantage of these new features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Walker, vice president and director of Infrastructure Services at Sentinel, a leading provider of financial planning and investment products and solutions, said, \u201cOur employees are constantly flipping from one application to another to communicate and collaborate. Integrating the solutions will give our call centre agents the ability to use all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/genesys-cloud\">Genesys Cloud<\/a> features while connecting more easily with the rest of the company that uses Zoom technology. We believe this will help us resolve customer issues faster and on the first contact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integration Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genesys Cloud customers can choose Zoom Phone as their voice carrier for the contact centre. This allows them to take advantage of Zoom\u2019s robust PBX functionality along with Genesys Cloud\u2019s industry-leading contact centre capabilities including artificial intelligence-powered automation and self-service, support for voice and digital channels and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employees using Genesys Cloud can leverage the unified directory and presence lookup to connect directly with Zoom Phone users from any department to address customer needs faster.\u00a0For example, while on the phone with a customer about a billing issue, an employee can use Zoom\u2019s directory from within Genesys Cloud to quickly find the right team member and check availability for a consultation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users can realise greater efficiencies, including click-to-call dialing and seamless transfers between Genesys Cloud and Zoom Phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All employees can collaborate with colleagues quickly via Zoom Meetings without ever leaving Genesys Cloud. This eliminates the need to toggle between systems or search different directories to contact their peers and provides seamless internal video communication across the organisation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer-facing, administrative and operational employees can simultaneously use voice and video to make internal collaboration easier. Genesys Cloud users can also take advantage of Zoom recording and screen share.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy bringing Zoom and Genesys Cloud capabilities into a unified experience, we\u2019re setting a new standard for employee and consumer communication and collaboration,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS815US815&amp;q=Eric+S.+Yuan&amp;stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLVT9c3NEw2S86oSDZKe8TozS3w8sc9YSmnSWtOXmO04eIKzsgvd80rySypFNLjYoOyVLgEpVB1ajBI8XOhCvEsYuVxLcpMVgjWU4gsTcwDAFA8CaduAAAA\">Eric Yuan<\/a>, founder and chief executive officer of Zoom. \u201cBusinesses can build stronger customer connections using our robust video-first collaboration solution along with the advanced call routing, analytics and workforce engagement management of Genesys Cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now more than ever, consumers want to know they\u2019re understood while getting the help they need quickly,\u201d said Tony Bates, chief executive officer, Genesys. \u201cMeeting and exceeding these expectations requires employees to have access to the right tools and resources. That\u2019s what we\u2019re enabling with the combination of Zoom and Genesys Cloud. Together, we\u2019re helping organisations differentiate through unique and intelligent customer and employee experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To accelerate adoption, the companies are engaging in a joint go-to-market strategy.
