Customer Contact Week, being held in Las Vegas this week, has evolved from focusing on hard-core contact centers to a broader customer experience event. This aligns with the contact-center-as-a-service or CCaaS providers’ direction, where their products have expanded beyond the traditional agent to other customer-facing roles.
Contact center market leader NICE Ltd. used the recent Enterprise Connect show to add to its artificial intelligence portfolio with the release of Enlighten XM (Experience Memory), which adds AI-infused contextual memory to the contact center.
Amazon Web Services Inc. Today announced several enhancements to its contact-center-as-a-service product, Amazon Connect, at the Enterprise Connect 24 in Orlando. Prior to the event, I was given a preview of the announcements in a prebriefing with two senior managers of product management for Amazon Connect — Himanshu Suri and Trevor Bloking.
Avaya LLC‘s and the International Avaya Users Group‘s annual Engage user conference in Orlando this week is the first major event for the business communications provider since it completed its financial restructuring.
This week 8×8 Inc. held a financial and industry analyst event at the Nasdaq building in Times Square, and with a venue like that, one would expect something big. The company certainly delivered, going news-heavy today by loading up its product with several new artificial intelligence capabilities targeting customer experience improvement.
