With the furthest positioning on the completeness of vision axis, and what we believe to be unmatched execution momentum, Genesys feels this provides further validation that contact centres \u2014 all over the world \u2014 are increasingly turning to the Genesys Cloud<sup>TM <\/sup>platform as they navigate their way forward to address changing customer needs and work environments.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/en-gb?post_type=resources&amp;p=363373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gartner November 2020 Critical Capabilities for CCaaS<sup>2<\/sup> report<\/a> to see if Genesys Cloud supports the use cases and critical capabilities most important to your organisation. In the report, Gartner recommends its clients, \u201cFocus on CCaaS solutions that leverage native functionality, or are accessed through provider marketplaces that span all four functionality pillars of great customer service \u2014 getting connected, process orchestration, knowledge and insight, and resource management\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We agree. Customers tell us they want a CCaaS platform that addresses all four pillars in a way that helps them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay fresh and innovative with continuous deployment<\/li>\n<li>Deliver customer experience differentiation faster, with a comprehensive all-in-one solution on top of a platform that lets them build what they want, while bringing a wide range of customer experience technology to the mix<\/li>\n<li>Operate in a secure, reliable and scalable environment<\/li>\n<li>Go anywhere in the world by tapping into a global media fabric<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We feel the ability of Genesys Cloud to uniquely meet these requirements is consistent with it receiving high scores in the Gartner November 2020 Critical Capabilities for CCaaS report. Genesys Cloud received higher scores for six of 12 critical capabilities evaluated (the other six remained the same) in comparison to the 2019 scores.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Customer Engagement Centre Use Case &#8211; Genesys Cloud Score Up from 2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-353956 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/gartner-image-390x328.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"328\" \/>In terms of staying fresh and innovative, we believe the Customer Engagement Centre use case is becoming increasingly important to address rapidly changing customers and work environments. Customers rely more on digital channels; maintaining context across channels is a must. So is keeping agents engaged and optimised across channels.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re pleased to see the Genesys Cloud Customer Engagement Centre use case score higher from last year \u2014 and that Genesys scored third highest in this use case in 2020, with a 3.62 out of 5.<\/p>\n<p>Gartner evaluates vendors across certain critical capabilities for each use case. Per our understanding from the report, the three highest weighted critical capabilities for the Customer Engagement Centre use case are Multichannel Contact Management, Workforce Engagement Management and Application Marketplace Integration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multichannel Contact Management <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We believe the above-mentioned recognition reflects our commitment to help customers execute digital transformation through the continuous delivery of innovation across digital (and voice) channels \u2014 inbound and outbound, self-service and agent-assisted. And through enabling deep, open integration with their greater customer experience ecosystem. Digital and artificial intelligence (AI) are two top areas of focus for Genesys from an innovation standpoint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workforce Engagement Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Workforce engagement management (WEM) is another major focus of innovation at Genesys. We believe the rapid, significant progress made over the past year is reflected as well. This includes advancements in transcription and sentiment analysis. And innovation is only going to accelerate, especially in the areas of employee and resource management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application Marketplace Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Genesys AppFoundry makes it possible for Genesys Cloud customers to tap into the greater customer experience ecosystem \u2014 quickly and easily \u2014 by offering a marketplace with a wide range of pre-built apps and other helpful resources. These are developed by customers, partners and Genesys development staff. We feel the extent of our AppFoundry Marketplace, and how customers use it, led to our recognition in this area, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Powerful Platform and Partner You Can Trust \u2014 Anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to robust all-in-one CCaaS solution, continuous innovation, a platform to build on and the ability to tap into a vast customer experience ecosystem, the native Genesys Cloud architecture offers a level of trust \u2014 security, reliability and global scale \u2014 today\u2019s always-on customer engagement centres simply must have. We believe the recognition in this report clearly reflects this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gratitude and Continuous Improvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re extremely grateful for this further recognition from Gartner. However, we don\u2019t take anything for granted. We\u2019ll continue to accelerate innovation and progress on behalf of our customers as we pursue our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/en-gb\/experience-as-a-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Experience as a Service<\/a><sup>SM<\/sup> vision, so that your customers feel remembered, heard and understood.
