NICE inContact Wins Contact Center Infrastructure and Interactive Voice Response CRM Service Leaders Awards

NICE inContact, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) business, today announced that the company has won for the second year in a row the Contact Center Infrastructure award, as well as the Interactive Voice Response award from CRM magazine. NICE inContact customer MoneyGram has been named one of only three winners of CRM’s Service Elite awards, a category within the CRM Service Leaders Awards, for their deployment of NICE inContact CXone to streamline customer service processes for a global audience.

NICE inContact was selected as the winner in the following categories:

• Contact Center Infrastructure: For the second consecutive year, NICE inContact “far outpaced all competitors” as the winner. NICE inContact was recognized as the “complete picture”, with a total score of 4.3 and top scores in depth of functionality (4.4), company direction (4.2), and customer satisfaction (4.2).

Sheila McGee-Smith, founder and president of McGee-Smith Analytics, stated, “With market-leading contact center and workforce optimization portfolios and a stable executive team, the world is NICE inContact’s oyster. They continue to deliver, not just promise, AI capabilities across their portfolio.”

Paul Stockford, President and Chief Analyst of Saddletree Research, noted that with “an excellent strategic vision matched by solid execution and demonstrated leadership,” NICE inContact truly is “a hard act to follow.”

• Interactive Voice Response: NICE inContact took the top spot by earning high scores for company direction and depth of functionality, as well as customer satisfaction. By standing out as the category leader in cost, NICE inContact also secured the winning title for Interactive Voice Response.

“In our overly-saturated, CX-driven economy, emphasis on a complete contact center infrastructure and consistency is pivotal to delivering a customer service experience that doesn’t just meet the mark, but exceeds it,” said Paul Jarman, CEO of NICE inContact. “The success of our customers like MoneyGram speaks to the innovation and quality deployments of our market-leading CXone cloud customer experience platform. CRM magazine’s recognition of NICE inContact across several categories solidifies the value of exceptional customer service delivered with each and every interaction.”

“Brand consistency is a high priority for us to deliver excellent customer experiences. Before NICE inContact CXone, MoneyGram had more than 30 IVR applications, no two of which sounded the same,” said Doug Klees, Head of Global Customer Care at MoneyGram. “With NICE inContact we consolidated three IVR applications, allowing us to act efficiently as well as deliver a better experience for our global customer base. In addition, we reduced average handle time by 30%. This recognition from CRM Magazine highlights the real customer service results MoneyGram has seen from deploying CXone.”

NICE inContact and MoneyGram took the top spot in each category after receiving the highest scores in the editors' survey of leading industry analysts and consultants, who gave their impressions on company direction, customer satisfaction and overall cost.
