NICE inContact Joins FedRAMP Marketplace, Bringing The Market Leading Cloud Platform to Government Contact Centers

NICE inContact (Nasdaq:NICE), the leading provider of cloud contact center software unifying omnichannel routing, workforce optimization and analytics, today announced it is the first cloud contact center provider to be sponsored for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. The program is the result of close collaboration with cybersecurity and cloud experts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DOD), National Security Agency (NSA) and more. To join the FedRAMP marketplace, cloud companies must be sponsored by a government agency and then complete labor-intensive processes to meet strict security regulations and mandates.

With inContact’s FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO), federal agencies will be able to integrate cloud contact center software, whether they are replacing on-premise solutions or establishing contact center technology for the first time. Due to the strict security requirements to join the marketplace, government agencies to date have had limited contact center options. inContact’s FedRAMP authorized Customer Interaction Cloud will unlock tremendous opportunity for inContact to help government agencies migrate to cloud solutions so they can take advantage of previously untapped cloud benefits such as agility, cost-effectiveness, scalability and reliability.

inContact’s current customers will also benefit from this authorization, as there are new cloud enhancements being added to inContact’s technology through the certification process. inContact is increasing the base security of its technology through new features such as external authentication, which is available to all customers – not just those acquired through FedRAMP.

“The FedRAMP certification process is extremely rigorous, as the government sets the bar high on cloud security,” said Paul Jarman, CEO at inContact. “With the barrier for entry so high, federal agencies haven’t had access to cloud contact center software that can significantly enhance their customer service operations and reduce costs. We also take security very seriously at inContact, and are excited to fill this need, enabling more efficient customer service for federal agencies.”

The authorization is scheduled to be completed by August, and you can view inContact listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace here.
