NiCE Deepens Partnership with Salesforce to Accelerate End-To-End Customer Service Workflow Orchestration
Business Wire – Tue Aug 12, 10:05AM CDT
NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced an expanded strategic partnership with Salesforce to deliver seamless, AI-driven customer experiences through a deeper integration between NiCE CXone Mpower and Salesforce Service Cloud. After launching Bring Your Own Telephony with Salesforce Service Cloud Voice in 2022, the companies will further invest in enabling Bring Your Own Contact Center, inclusive of customer managed channels and NiCE’s leading WEM capabilities in the Service Cloud unified desktop. NiCE and Salesforce support a shared customer base of hundreds of thousands of users. This expanded partnership adds powerful new capabilities while laying the foundation for continued innovation and joint growth.
NiCE further intends to join the Salesforce Zero Copy Partner Network as the first in the Contact Center ecosystem to enable the unification of contact center interaction insights with CRM data through a new bidirectional Zero Copy integration with Salesforce Data Cloud. This will provide customers with a shared data foundation between NiCE CXone Mpower and Salesforce Data Cloud that eliminates silos and unlocks data to accelerate AI-driven experiences across both platforms. Shared customers can use this integration to enable real-time AI-driven orchestration using complete experience context. AI agents can operate with a complete, stateful understanding of the entire journey across self-service, live support, and fulfillment, including awareness of past actions, intent, and outcomes.
Through this collaboration, organizations can leverage CXone Mpower’s real-time orchestration engine, industry-leading workforce augmentation solutions and purpose-built AI for CX seamlessly within Salesforce Service Cloud’s unified desktop for Service Reps. This integration extends NiCE’s industry-leading connected intelligence across Salesforce digital channels, cases, and interactions, delivering a streamlined, AI-first service experience.
By uniting Service Cloud’s robust CRM platform, renowned for advanced case management and extensive digital channel support, and AI assistance for service reps in the agent desktop with CXone Mpower’s intelligent CX automation and orchestration capabilities, joint customers gain a unified, intelligent service environment. If a customer begins their journey with an autonomous agent, they can seamlessly transfer their conversation to a human service rep with their entire transcript and Salesforce record intact and if the issue becomes even more complex a supervisor can access the conversation for real-time coaching. This is one example of how NiCE and Salesforce are enabling seamless orchestration of complex customer journeys across every touchpoint, with real-time decisioning, workflow automation, and personalized interactions that drive customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
“This renewed partnership with Salesforce marks more than just deeper integration, it signals a vision for the future of customer service,” said Barry Cooper, President, CX Division, NiCE . “Together, we will collaborate to help businesses move from disconnected touchpoints to intelligently orchestrated experiences that span the entire customer journey. As our partnership grows, so does our commitment to helping our mutual customers lead the way in AI-powered service.”
“Strengthening our partnership with NiCE will help organizations further provide deeply unified customer service experiences,” said Kishan Chetan, Executive VP and GM Service Cloud at Salesforce . “Together, we’re helping organizations move beyond channel silos and orchestrate intelligent, outcomes-driven interactions at scale, ultimately delivering greater value to our mutual customer through continued innovation.”
