The NICE user event, Interactions, will be held next week in Las Vegas. This is NICE’s primary US-based user event, and its goal is to educate the audience on the industry’s vision and where NICE is taking its products. For the Interactions attendees, here are five things to watch.
Memorial Day has passed, meaning conference season is shifting into high gear. The first event after the long weekend is Cisco Live, held this week in Las Vegas. Since this event falls between Enterprise Connect and WebexOne, Webex announcements are typically lighter, but that wasn’t the case this year. The news from the 2024 edition of Cisco Live focused on two areas – customer experience and hybrid work, which is consistent with the innovation from Webex over the past couple of years.
This week, Avaya and the International Avaya Users Group (IAUG) are holding the annual Engage user event in Denver, CO. The conference brings Avaya stakeholders such as customers, resellers, partners, and anyone who wants to learn about the latest and greatest in Avaya innovation. Historically, Avaya has used the event to launch “big news.” So far, Engage 2024 is no different as Avaya and RingCentral announced an expansion to their strategic relationship.
This past week, Avaya held its analyst summit in San Diego, CA. This was the first analyst event in several years. This event focused solely on providing an update to industry analysts, the first of its kind in several years. While much of the content was NDA, many broader themes are worth mentioning. Below are my top five thoughts from the 2024 Avaya Analyst Summit.
The news keeps rolling in from Enterprise Connect. This week Five9 announced a solution it hopes will help organizations customize common generative AI models for the contact center. Last week, Five9 conducted a pre-briefing with three Five9 executives, including Matt McGinnis, vice president of product, industry, and solution marketing; Sarika Prasad, senior manager of product marketing for AI and automation; and Jonathan Rosenberg, CTO and Head of AI.
