NICE inContact Launches its CXone Ecosystem Program for
Technology Partners and IT Developers

The new program leverages NICE inContact’s CXone unified cloud platform to create the most
extensive set of customer experience solutions in the market

Hoboken, N.J., August 2, 2017 – NICE inContact (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced its new first-class ecosystem program for technology partners and IT developers. This is the most extensive technology ecosystem currently available in the customer experience market, with more than 250 APIs, and will allow NICE inContact customers to benefit from the market’s widest range of cloud customer experience solutions.

The program enables partners to hook into the leading capabilities of the NICE inContact CXoneplatform, an open, cloud native foundation that powers customer experience innovation with Omnichannel Routing, Workforce Optimization, Analytics, Automation and Artificial Intelligence. Partners are able to amplify the value of the platform through the development of integrated value-add applications, and the exchange of information and services.

The new program, DEVone, offers partners broad tools and resources to enable them to create new applications on CXone, including:
Over 250 already-available APIs, with new ones being published with each release
Full, around-the-clock access to extensive, interactive documentation and support
Access to a developer community with forums to share knowledge and experiences with other customers, partners and NICE inContact programmers

In addition, CXexchange offers a centralized, state of the art marketplace for developers to market and sell their CXone-based applications. CXexchange, which already hosts over 65 ISV partners, allows NICE and inContact customers to easily access the full list of partner applications, and enables them to:
Compare solutions, view product demos, read reviews, and ask questions before contacting a partner
Save time in the technology selection process
Decrease the time-to-implementation of new functionality

Barak Eilam, CEO, NICE:
“Open technology platforms allow access to vastly more technology capabilities than any one company could provide, at a far lower cost and with much greater scalability. With the launch of DEVone and CXexchange, we have opened our doors to technology partners and developers, inviting them to join the market’s most extensive ecosystem program. The value of this program for our customers and for the market is the creation of tailored cloud customer experience solutions that will help our customers meet their specific needs and business goals.”

NICE to Demonstrate NICE Inform Elite Incident Intelligence
Dashboards at APCO 2017

Full line-up of events planned including Public Safety NICE User Group training forum and
PSAPs’ Finest Awards presentation

Hoboken, N.J. – August 9, 2017 – NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that it will exhibit the newly launched NICE Inform Elite, the eighth generation of its industry-leading multimedia incident information management solution for emergency communications centers, in booth #923 at the 2017 APCO Conference. APCO 2017 will take place August 13-15 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.

NICE Inform Elite combines a future-ready multimedia recording platform with Incident Intelligence dashboards, CAD incident analytics and GIS mapping, to give 9-1-1 center managers the tools they need to make operational improvements, and smarter decisions.

NICE Inform Elite’s drill-through dashboards uniquely combine data from CAD, telephony, radio, and the NICE Inform Evaluator Quality Assurance (QA) module to provide up-to-the-minute performance metrics on call volumes, answer times, on-scene response times, QA scores and much more – viewable on desktops, wallboards and mobile tablets.

“NICE Inform Elite’s ability to stitch together data from disparate PSAP systems to provide incident intelligence is unique,” said Dick Bucci, principal analyst, Pelorus Associates, a market research firm. “By integrating data across these systems, NICE Inform Elite provides a single source of truth so managers can identify issues earlier, meet performance targets and improve emergency response.”

NICE will also demonstrate how PSAPs can cut audio reproduction fulfillment time in half using CAD data to retrieve and reconstruct incident recordings, and similarly, how PSAPs can streamline and focus their Quality Assurance (QA) efforts on the calls that matter most, by using CAD data to automate QA call selection.

In addition to offering demonstrations of NICE Inform Elite, NICE has a full line-up of activities in store for APCO 2017:

PUBNUG Training Forum

Launched just over a year ago, the Public Safety NICE User Group (PUBNUG) is now 450 members strong. PUBNUG provides a community for NICE public safety customers to share information, best practices and ideas. NICE will be holding its first-ever PUBNUG APCO training forum on Monday, August 14 at 12-3 p.m. in Convention Center Room 106. Training will center on NICE Inform best practices, a solution ‘tour’ of NICE Inform Elite, followed by an interactive town hall-style discussion. NICE public safety customers attending APCO are encouraged to register. For more information, please email PSInfo@nice.com.


PSAPs’ Finest Awards Presentation

On Tuesday, August 15, at 11 a.m., NICE will also host its twelfth annual PSAPs’ Finest Award presentation ceremony in booth  #923 to recognize the 2017 PSAPs’ Finest Awards recipients.

NICE Recognizes 2017 PSAPs’ Finest Award Recipients at APCO 2017

Hoboken, N.J. – August 15, 2017 – NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) is excited to announce the recipients of its 2017 PSAPs’ Finest Awards, a recognition program for emergency communications professionals now in its 12th year. Winners will receive their awards in a special ceremony which will take place in NICE’s booth today at the 2017 APCO International Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, Colorado.

Sponsored by NICE, a leading provider of public safety solutions for 9-1-1 centers, the PSAPs’ Finest awards recognize individual contributions to emergency communications. Awards are presented annually to winners selected in the following categories: DirectorLine SupervisorTechnician, TrainerTelecommunicator, Innovator and PSAP of the Year.

This year, the judges bestowed the first-ever Innovator of the Year award to Anita Pitt, 9-1-1 Program Manager for the Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG). The Innovator of the Year award was created to recognize a trailblazer who embodies change, progress, and new ideas, with the goal of advancing and improving emergency communications. BVCOG was one of the early adopters of Text-to-911 and Pitt was instrumental in leading the effort. She is a strong advocate for Text-to-911 and shares her knowledge and experience by giving talks and training sessions to other public safety agencies.

“Text-to-911 is such a new frontier with many challenges,” said Shirlene Skipper, Sumter County 9-1-1 Communications Director, who also served as a 2017 PSAPs’ Finest Judge. “My hat goes off to Anita for having the courage and energy to tackle it. People who work in emergency communications seldom get the recognition they deserve. They’re not out in the public safety vehicle with the flashing lights but at the end of the day, they truly are the first, first responders.”

“On behalf of NICE, I’d like to congratulate this year’s line-up of impressive winners,” said Christopher Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE. “The volume and caliber of nominations are a testament to the hard work and dedication of thousands of emergency communications professionals whose tireless efforts and dedication save lives every day.”

NICE Introduces Compliance Center – A Dedicated Solution for
Compliance Assurance and Management

The NICE Compliance Center brings together real-time alerts, omnichannel analytics, and
actionable insights under a centralized management, empowering contact centers to reduce the
risk of regulatory breaches

Hoboken, N.J., August 21, 2017 – NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced the introduction of NICE Compliance Center, a unique compliance recording solution for the contact center industry. Combining NICE’s leading recording platform with analytics capabilities and end-to-end media encryption, Compliance Center is a holistic solution that reduces the risk of regulatory breaches while centralizing all compliance management activities, for optimal efficiency and rapid adaptation to changing regulations.

In the current regulatory environment, and with new legislation anticipated, such as PCI DSS 3.2, MiFID II and GDPR, organizations must be able to capture, retain, identify and retrieve every customer interaction from any channel according to specific regulatory guidelines. Leveraging the benefits of NICE Engage, the omnichannel recording platform which offers real-time capabilities, advanced scalability, and end-to-end media encryption, Compliance Center ensures that the proper regulatory procedures are in place by applying specific compliance performance indicators and interaction analytics. The solution also includes dedicated dashboards, leveraging insights from the recorded data and metadata.

With flexible recording and archiving rules to tag and retrieve interactions, the solution allows companies to promptly comply with stringent regulations requiring the immediate provision of evidence for audits. Moreover, when suspicious behavior is detected anywhere along the audit trail, during or after an interaction, NICE Compliance center enables users to perform investigation and take immediate corrective action directly from the user dashboard. By doing so, the solution empowers users across the contact center and substantially reduces breaches.

Miki Migdal, president of the NICE Enterprise Product Group:
“Compliance is one of the top priorities for NICE, as it is an increasingly critical issue across all industries. The NICE Compliance Center empowers organizations to meet regulatory demands, while providing the agility needed to quickly adapt to legislative changes. It combines all of our advanced compliance and security capabilities with our innovative analytics and robust recording platform, enabling contact centers to take the correct actions, when and how they need to.”

Omer Minkara, Industry Analyst for the Aberdeen Group:
“The impact of omnichannel communications is felt far beyond traditional customer interaction processes. This also affects how companies, including contact centers across the world, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The capabilities of NICE Compliance Center makes it easy for users within the enterprise to ensure omni-channel compliance by monitoring issues and addressing them in a timely fashion. Enabling users, such as IT staff, agents and compliance professionals, to manage these processes end-to-end helps increase user productivity and shorten response times in addressing compliance risks in the contact center and in the back office.”
