In the report, Gartner provides a list of recommendations for application leaders responsible for customer service and support who are planning, selecting and deploying contact centre applications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In this post, we&#8217;ll walk through three Gartner recommendations and share how partnering with Genesys can help you succeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Take the Guesswork Out of Contact Centre Migration<br \/>\n<\/strong>Having the right guide makes it easier and more predictable to navigate your migration to the cloud. And that means there\u2019s much lower risk and a faster time to business value. In the report, Gartner recommends buyers &#8220;reduce the impacts of transitioning off legacy contact centre platforms by focusing on providers with referenceable transition frameworks, methodologies and commercial options for migrating to their CCaaS offerings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Over the past year,\u00a0more than\u00a0900 companies\u00a0worldwide\u00a0have chosen to migrate to the\u00a0Genesys Cloud\u2122 platform over legacy on-premises and first-generation cloud technologies.\u00a0Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/en-sg\/resources\/genesys-prescriptive-migration-the-art-of-simplified-migration-with-proven-roi?ost_tool=blog&amp;ost_campaign=apac_lg-en_cl-lp\">prescriptive migration process<\/a>\u00a0is designed to empower you with best practices, in a repeatable way and with predictable success. This reduces\u00a0risk,\u00a0allows you to\u00a0avoid wasteful costs and complexity, and accelerates\u00a0your time to real business value.\u00a0Companies\u00a0like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/customer-stories\/conte-it\">ConTe.it<\/a>, a leading Italian car insurer,\u00a0have\u00a0chosen\u00a0Genesys\u00a0to\u00a0guide\u00a0their\u00a0cloud migration\u00a0to improve\u00a0agility\u00a0and\u00a0accelerate digital plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Addressing the Unique Needs of Multiregional Organisations\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nOrganisations with global contact centre operations have more complexity to consider when selecting a CCaaS provider. Factors to consider include local compliance regulations, data sovereignty, distributed agent populations, global telephony needs and more. To mitigate risk, it\u2019s critical to choose a provider with the global reach and proven execution experience managing multiregional cloud migrations.<\/p>\n<p>The Gartner report recommends enterprises &#8220;reduce multiregional service compliance and quality challenges by assessing service providers\u2019 data centre design and network architecture, and on standards compliance in relevant geographical regions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Genesys\u00a0continues to invest in global expansion, security and compliance. We\u2019re\u00a0honored to be scored highest in both North America and Western Europe use cases in the report.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-397515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3588\" height=\"3341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4.png 3588w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4-300x279.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4-155x144.png 155w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure4-566x527.png 566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3588px) 100vw, 3588px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-397516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3588\" height=\"3341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5.png 3588w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5-300x279.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5-155x144.png 155w, https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/media\/figure5-566x527.png 566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3588px) 100vw, 3588px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Genesys Cloud<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2122<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/en-sg\/cloud-platform\/global-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\">global availability<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"> now extends across 11 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Regions, servicing customers in more than 80 countries.
