Genesys Bubbles Up as Clear Market Leader in Multichannel Cloud Contact Center, Says Independent Analyst Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesys® (www.genesys.com), a global leader in omnichannel customer experience and contact center solutions, has been named a leader in Ovum's 2017-2018 Decision Matrix.* The report, Selecting a Multichannel Cloud Contact Center Solution, recognized Genesys as the vendor with the biggest market impact compared to other vendors evaluated in the Decision Matrix.

In addition, the company grabbed the highest spot in five of the report's technology matrix categories and was ranked in the execution matrix as a top-three vendor for hosting reliability, multi-channel innovation and customization.

The Ovum Decision Matrix highlighted several of the company's core strengths, noting, "Genesys gets high marks in Ovum's evaluation based on the company's longtime record of innovation, product breadth and depth, credibility, and financial stability as one of the industry's largest privately-held technology companies."

The Ovum report assessed eight cloud contact center vendors based on technology, execution and market impact. Aggregate scores across criteria determined vendor placement as a "leader," "challenger" or "follower." While Genesys was one of three vendors named a market leader, it was the only company with multiple cloud offerings evaluated. Genesys PureCloudtm, PureConnect, and PureEngage, all received high scores.

According to the report, "Genesys is ahead of most cloud customer engagement companies with its globalization efforts and today boasts of being able to support any agent, anywhere in the world."
