New Release of NICE Engage Omnichannel Recording Platform Lets Organizations Deliver a Consistent Customer Experience across All Interaction Channels

NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that its NICE Engage Platform is enabling seamless, real-time communications between various contact center systems, thus meeting the needs of fast-paced customer service environments as well as critical back office operations. This is a result of efforts to provide a simplified user experience, improve compliance capabilities, support more digital interactions, and deliver greater integration with third party technologies and business applications.

As the market’s leading omnichannel recording solution, NICE Engage delivers benefits across the enterprise, helping multiple users such as IT and operational managers, compliance teams, service agents, and business leaders. These include:

• Reduced IT operational costs – by providing a single, highly scalable platform that is ready for any channel.
• Adherence to regulatory guidelines and reduced liability and risk – by applying the same advanced compliance policies and practices to all channels; and by delivering real-time alerts and analyses of compliance failures directly to mobile devices via NICE Watch.
• Digital transformation management – by extending quality management and analytics methodologies developed for voice to digital channels; by supporting new social media channels like Facebook messenger; and by promoting digitalized business processes on all interactions.

Miki Migdal, president of the NICE Enterprise Product Group, said: “With the latest release of NICE Engage, we are strengthening our commitment to simplifying processes and experiences, empowering users, and facilitating digital interactions. We are proud to deliver the leading, most inclusive omnichannel solution, which will play a pivotal role in helping organizations reinvent customer service.”
