NICE Named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Contact Center as a Service For 9th Consecutive Year

NICE positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision

NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that Gartner has recognized NICE as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) report. NICE placed the furthest overall for its Completeness of Vision in the Leaders Quadrant. This marks the ninth consecutive year that NICE has been named a Leader in the CCaaS Magic Quadrant.

This 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CCaaS states, “The contact center market is migrating from on-premises to cloud based CCaaS solutions, including those with many thousands of agents and advanced digital and self-service requirements. This research will help customer service and support technology leaders find the right provider for their needs.”

“CCaaS is now the go-to technology for most organizations looking to procure or replace traditional on-premises contact center technologies. CCaaS solutions are also starting to be deployed in multithousand-seat environments, even though these may comprise multiple smaller entities. This reflects the desire of customer service organizations to consolidate multiple stand-alone environments and move forward with a single, strategic supplier, preferably in the cloud.”

NICE delivers the industry’s leading combination of CCaaS, WEM, Analytics, AI and Digital Self-Service on CXone, the foremost open, cloud CX platform. The CXone platform is wider and deeper than any other CX solution in the market, driving exceptional digital self-service and agent-assisted customer interactions. CXone is powered by NICE’s purpose-built Enlighten AI which is built from the CX industry’s largest labelled dataset. NICE integrates generative AI into Enlighten to deliver truly conversational AI, powering next-level digital self-service, and guiding consumers, employees and brands with AI-driven actions.

"We are thrilled to see that our substantial investment in CX innovation along with our significant business success is reflected in the report and we are recognized as a Leader by Gartner for the ninth consecutive year," said Barry Cooper, President, CX Division, NICE. "We believe this recognition from Gartner amplifies NICE’s ongoing commitment to lead the next generation of customer service with CXone. CXone, with advanced AI capabilities and a complete approach to managing full customer journeys across unattended, attended, digital and voice interactions, is allowing organizations to differentiate through customer experience in today’s digital era."

NICE was recognized in the very first Gartner Magic Quadrant for CCaaS* report in 2015 as a Leader and has been recognized as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for CCaaS consecutively each year since then. The company believes its consistent recognition in this report reinforces its ability to identify market trends early and continually innovate accordingly to deliver the technology solutions organizations need to advance customer success.
