Global digital transformation provider Atos, a company with over 110,000 employees in 73 countries, will make NICE InContact CXone a preferred solution for Contact Center as a Service and bring CXone to the company’s installed base of hundreds of thousands of contact center agents across the globe as well as new customers.
CXone will be integrated with Circuit and sold by Atos under the name Cloud Contact Center – powered by CXone. It complements the OpenScape Contact Center solution which Atos will continue to offer for on-premise and hosted requirements.
“Contact center organizations of all sizes around the world are moving to the cloud to power immersive and engaging customer experiences that drive down costs while building loyalty, advocacy and wallet share,” said Paul Jarman, CEO of NICE InContact. “Our partnership with Atos demonstrates NICE inContact’s accelerated international expansion. We’re delighted to work together to bring the benefits of the cloud to thousands of agents and customers.”
