and simplify the purchasing decision process

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Organizations globally have been impacted by dynamic changes in recent months and are in critical need of efficiencies in delivering the service their customers demand at the rapid pace and excellent quality they expect. To answer this need, NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced a new commercial offer, named ‘The Easiest Decision You’ll Make This Year’, providing unattended RPA robots at no cost or commitment for a two-year period, to help organizations quickly power their business with the benefits RPA offers. Its strong financial standing and innovation-driven portfolio place NICE in a unique position to bring this commercial RPA offer to market. This opportunity allows organizations to quickly adopt or expand process automations across their business to improve efficiencies, increase productivity, and drive service excellence even with a remote workforce and while keeping the cost of ownership low. Click here to learn more.

The advantages offered by RPA to the bottom line are widely accepted around the world. In today’s post-pandemic environment where organizations are struggling to address business-critical operational and service-related challenges, RPA offers a lifeline that enables organizations to overcome them. Fabrizio Biscotti, Research Vice President at Gartner confirms this in his report, “Forecast Analysis: Robotic Process Automation, Worldwide.” In a press release discussing the report, he stated “The key driver for RPA projects is their ability to improve process quality, speed and productivity, each of which is increasingly important as organizations try to meet the demands of cost reduction during COVID-19. Enterprises can quickly make headway on their digital optimization initiatives by investing in RPA software, and the trend isn’t going away anytime soon.”

The new commercial offer by NICE provides unattended robots at no charge or commitment for a period of two years. Organizations can choose to continue for a third year at a significant discount on robot pricing. By removing license costs from the equation, businesses can easily take the decision to adopt RPA now or scale automation across more areas of the business, gaining the benefits at a low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Barry Cooper, NICE Enterprise Group President, said, “This is a time when organizations are most in need of efficiency and ensuring service excellence not just because their business requires it but because their customers need it. Our strong financial position enables us to help businesses with their digital optimization initiatives and keep their operations on track during these challenging times. With this offer, organizations can power their business to provide better, faster service even as employees work remotely – without the risk or high costs.”

NICE Satmetrix Benchmark finds 57% of contact center employees working from home due to COVID-19 are now more likely to recommend employer

However, 71% of contact center managers say the shift to work at home has had a significant impact on customers

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that the NICE Satmetrix Agent Experience at Home Benchmark found that 57% of contact center employees working from home due to COVID-19 are now more likely to recommend their employers to friends, family, or peers than they were before the transition to working remotely. However, in contrast to this positive impact on employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), 71% of contact center managers say that their organization’s shift to work at home has had a significant impact on customers.

With the transition to remote work environments, today’s customer service managers and their teams are dealing with multiple challenges all at once, including increased interaction volume across all channels; longer handle times, as service interactions become the first line of support for distressed consumers; more demanding customer needs, as agents are dealing with new, unusual requests that are more complex and sometimes outside their direct control; and a new remote work methodology.

NICE Satmetrix co-founded NPS and is a trusted source for data and insights used to improve customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy, and reduce customer churn. The NICE Satmetrix Agent Experience at Home Benchmark identified three key drivers that improved eNPS that organizations can apply to increase employee engagement:

  • Providing the Right Tools and Technology
  • Communicating Effectively
  • Taking Quick Action for Employees

To address these challenges, NICE has recently introduced CXone@home to enable the safe transition of contact center agents to work from home within hours, for organizations of all sizes and verticals. It is powered by the market-leading CXone cloud contact center platform and is offered at no charge for 60 days for new customers. Purpose-built for remote workforces, CXone@home also includes a complete suite of workforce engagement and optimization (WFO) capabilities – including quality and coaching with analytics, performance management, and workforce forecasting and scheduling – to ensure agents and managers are productive while working from home. The demand for CXone@home has been unprecedented by organizations of all sizes with legacy on-premises infrastructures. NICE also recently launched WEM@home and NEVA@home to drive immediate impact on service excellence for work at home employees.

“NICE is pleased to make possible the quick transition to work at home for thousands of contact center agents and managers,” said Barry Cooper, NICE Enterprise Group President. “Many organizations that have shifted to work from home now face challenges of engaging and ensuring performance of their newly remote and dispersed workforce, while at the same time the nature and volume of the work are rapidly changing. These same organizations have requested CXone@home to help them deal with these challenges.”

Mr. Cooper added, “COVID-19 is changing how people work and organizations operate. Companies are adapting in order to ensure business continuity, employee engagement, and performance. NICE is dedicated to empowering exceptional customer service in times of change.”

As the leading cloud platform for contact centers, CXone has a global, geographically redundant cloud infrastructure with built-in elasticity to dynamically scale up or down based on demand. NICE inContact proactively monitors and continuously forecasts demand with reserves for immediate spikes in volume and the ability to add data and storage capacity immediately.

Contact center agents using NICE inContact CXone are operating in over 100 countries.
