NICE Powers Acceleration of COVID-19 Vaccine Global Distribution Effort

NICE inContact CXone streamlines vaccine distribution supply chain from vaccine producers
to healthcare providers, allowing a faster and efficient process

SALT LAKE CITY, January 5, 2021 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that it is ramping up support for service and information centers across the entire COVID-19 vaccine supply chain with its CXone cloud platform. The vaccine supply chain is comprised of three main critical stakeholders: vaccine manufacturers, federal and state agencies responsible for distribution and healthcare providers that are administering the vaccine. As governments around the globe are working diligently to build and scale this supply chain, NICE CXone plays a critical role in eliminating bottlenecks, ensuring a smooth process and guaranteeing flawless and clear communication throughout.

Organizations are now working to quickly supply and administer tens of millions of doses worldwide to help end the devastating pandemic. They are moving quicker than ever before to produce, distribute and communicate about the vaccine and need a reliable platform to allow them to be successful. For example, two of the leading approved vaccine manufacturers are now using CXone, dozens of state and government agencies are ramping up their capacity with CXone to prepare for increases in demand and numerous healthcare providers and pharmacies are already relying on CXone to serve their patients and customers.

“This is a historic moment, and contact centers play a critical role in efficiently distributing and building trust in the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Paul Jarman, NICE inContact CEO. “As the vaccine rollout unfolds, information and service centers across the pharmaceutical industry, health departments, government agencies, distribution companies and pharmacies need to quickly ramp up customer service as needed. CXone equips all of them with innovative cloud technology that drives flexibility, reliability and agility in the face of such a grand-scale effort.”

Given the high stakes, now more than ever, extreme agility, scalability and speed to turn-up is crucial for the information and service centers of all the parties involved in distributing, administering, and monitoring the vaccine rollout. To provide the required extreme agility, CXone customer experience cloud provides rapid deployment on a scalable, secure and reliable platform to support agencies that are serving on the front line in the fight against this global pandemic. Contact center agents can efficiently respond to inbound inquiries about the vaccine as well as proactively push information to citizens via SMS or digital messaging. Furthermore, the increased adoption of the CXone digital self-service and chatbot technologies acts as a force multiplier scaling and simplifying service in light of the sharp increase in volumes.

NICE Breaks New Ground in Robotic Process Automation with Innovative
AI-Driven Click to Automate

Seamlessly converting manual processes to active automation flows at the click of a button, the new capability
speeds up time to value and boosts operational efficiencies

Hoboken, N.J., January 6, 2020 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today introduced new AI-based Robotic Process Automation (RPA) capabilities that fast-track the time to value by rapidly operationalizing optimal process automation opportunities. Available as part of NICE RPA version 7.4 is the new Click to Automate feature, that instantaneously transforms recommended process sequences into live operational automations. This enables businesses to rapidly expand existing process automations, improve efficiencies and strengthen organizational resilience even during unpredictable market conditions. Additional capabilities enable tighter human-robot collaboration via smarter, visual-based automation discovery and a more customizable development process per employee needs.

Smarter automation discovery and development
Click to Automate takes the benefits of Automation Finder, NICE’s AI-infused automation opportunity discovery tool, to the next level. Following Automation Finder’s capture and display of all the recommended process sequences, the Click to Automate capability seamlessly and rapidly builds the process automations with NICE’s Automation Studio design tool. The result is end-to-end working automations, including the logic and connectivity elements.  NICE’s attended and unattended robotic workforce then manages the full execution of these processes in complete collaboration with each employee, at scale.

Additional enhancements included in NICE RPA version 7.4 include:


Visually inspired automation discovery: With NICE RPA's Automation Finder, business analysts can now get a visual snapshot of the employee's screen together with clustering of the different process sequences, variations and their respective scores. This provides business analysts with a holistic understanding of the real-life processes employees regularly execute. With these rich, practical insights, analysts are equipped to make an informed decision about the optimal processes to automate, allowing for more efficient automation development, higher user adoption and improved results.
 

Customized attended automation development: The callout builder within NICE's Automation Studio enables enhanced customization of callouts, a critical element in the successful deployment and uptake of attended automation. As a result, developers can personalize the way NEVA, NICE's attended automation offering, communicates and interacts with employees, allowing them to better relate to and connect with attended robots at work. The user-friendly drag and drop interface with built-in intelligence allows automations to be created with ease and speed, as well as resonate with the unique culture of the organization and its people. This ensures connected, productive human-robot collaborations in the virtual and physical workplace.
 

Unified connectivity for accelerated automation development: With a unified connectivity layer, automation developers can seamlessly access all applications across different technologies from a single interface. This ensures faster development and time to value for organizations and enables employees to benefit from the process automations more quickly.
 
"What businesses need right now are solutions that will accelerate the efficiency of their business, maximize the value of every process automation and empower employees to do more from any location and at any time," Barry Cooper, President, NICE Enterprise Group, said. "The new capabilities in NICE RPA version 7.4 power agility across the automation lifecycle – including intelligent, optimal process discovery, instantaneous operationalization of process automations and stronger employee collaboration. We believe this helps organizations ensure business continuity, boost their bottom line and enhance both employee and customer experiences."

NICE Named a Leader in the Inaugural IDC MarketScape:
Worldwide Digital Evidence Management Solutions for Law Enforcement 2020
Vendor Assessment

The report cited that NICE has continued to build in capabilities according to customer requests with ease of integration,
automation, usability, visualization and advanced analytics as key strengths

Hoboken, N.J., January 11, 2021NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that IDC, a global provider of market intelligence, has named NICE a Leader in its inaugural “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Evidence Management Solutions for Law Enforcement 2020 Vendor Assessment”. The IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor’s position within a given market.

An excerpt of the IDC MarketScape Digital Evidence Management Solutions report may be downloaded here.

The IDC MarketScape report’s profile stated, “The NICE Investigate solution automates and digitizes the collection, analysis, and sharing of digital evidence and assets. NICE Investigate's key strengths relate to ease of integration, automation, usability, visualization, mobile tools, and advanced analytics, with a strategic focus on streamlining and digitizing previously traditionally manual workflow. NICE Investigate is hardware and software agnostic; it is an enterprise solution, not a point solution that might cater to one form of video input or one body-worn video provider, for example. Evidence tracking and auditability functionality is embedded throughout the solution.”

Dr. Alison Brooks, Research Vice President, Smart Cities and Communities - Public Safety, IDC said,The Digital Evidence Management marketplace is being rapidly altered by innovations in the broader technology market, especially advanced visual analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), drones, and body-worn video cameras. NICE is a pioneer in the DEM space and has continued to build in capabilities according to requests from its customer base. Usability and data visualization are key strengths. Customers speak highly of the ease of integration of NICE DEM solutions, which is an increasingly important issue for agencies struggling with an ever-evolving series of heterogeneous data sets and types.”

In addition, the IDC MarketScape report explained, “NICE Investigate automates the case building process, providing considerable workflow efficiencies across the organization and across all involved agencies. The NICE Investigate solution is focused on sharing data across the judicial continuum; from capture to court, NICE offers tools to collect digital media from citizens and businesses to automatically populate the case file. Similarly, prosecutors have tools in the prosecutor portal to then provide for electronic discovery.”

“Law Enforcement and Justice agencies continue to face unprecedented challenges – more digital evidence to manage calls for increased transparency, faster case closure, and growing scrutiny and expectations,” said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE. “NICE’s digital transformation solutions are at the forefront of helping agencies solve these challenges. By investing in NICE Investigate, agencies are able to achieve better operational efficiencies, improvements in case closure, faster and more reliable disclosure, while cutting costs and closing budget gaps. We’re honored that our innovation in public safety has been recognized by the IDC MarketScape.”

NICE Wins Technical Development Award at 2020 Symphony 
Hackathon for Integration with its Cloud-Based Messaging and

NICE demonstrated its Trading Recording solution’s ability to capture and archive Symphony voice
and chat conversations and retrieve and play back these communications

Hoboken, N.J., January 12, 2021 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that it has received the ‘Most Cutting-Edge Technical Development’ Award at the Symphony Innovate 2020 Hackathon London. NICE was recognized for taking the important first step to fully integrate its market-leading NTR compliance recording solution with Symphony, a cloud-based messaging and collaboration platform used by many of the world’s leading financial services organizations.

The Symphony Innovate Hackathon was established to spur development of unique and innovative solutions that help financial services firms optimize the way they work. Hackathon teams are judged according to their degree of innovation and the potential commercial impact of their projects. Through its integration, NICE successfully demonstrated NTR’s ability to capture and archive Symphony voice and chat conversations, and associated metadata, and search for, retrieve and play back these communications.

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, stated, “We’re thrilled to have been recognized for our cutting-edge technology development with Symphony. As financial services organizations accelerate their digital transformation and adopt new communication modalities in growing numbers, they need to continue to be mindful of MiFID II, Dodd-Frank and other regulations that require all types of communications to be recorded for regulatory compliance. This proof of concept is an important first step forward to extending our popular NTR compliance recording solution to Symphony users.”

Olivier Poupeney, Director of Developer Relations, Symphony, explained, “Hackathons continue to be an integral component to the development of vital and ingenious workflow automations and apps on Symphony. Hackathons encourage and breed innovation, as shown through NICE’s development of their NTR integration. It is creations such as this that will help drive the evolution of regulatory compliance-based integrations. Congratulations to NICE and their expert execution to develop NTR.”

Winning entries from the Symphony Innovate Hackathon London and other virtual Symphony Hackathons will advance to the Symphony Olympics which will be hosted by Symphony in 2021. This will see winners from all around the globe compete against each other.

Offered as an on-premise or cloud solution, the NICE Trading Recording System (NTR) is an all-in-one compliance-focused trade conversation recording platform used by most of the world’s leading banks and investment firms for capturing and archiving trade conversations from turrets, desk phones, and mobile phones, as well as voice, video, chat and screen sharing from unified communications platforms.

NICE Actimize Drives AML Cloud Transformation for Vancity,
 One of Canada’s Largest Community Credit Unions

NICE Actimize’s AML Essentials with ActOne Case Management will allow Vancity to more
efficiently fight financial crime, contain costs and comply with Canadian regulations

Hoboken, NJ – January 13, 2021 - NICE Actimize, a NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) business, has been selected by Vancouver City Savings Credit Union (Vancity), a member-owned financial co-operative headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, to drive and implement its modernized, cloud-based anti-money laundering operation. The financial cooperative’s objective is to significantly improve its investigators’ efficiency, allowing them to fight financial crime more effectively while simultaneously containing costs and complying with Canadian regulations. With $28.2 billion in assets under administration, Vancity is English-speaking Canada's largest community credit union.

Vancity is significantly updating its operational investments by leveraging several NICE Actimize solution areas. In anti-money laundering, Vancity will expand its financial crime solutions’ footprint by integrating NICE Actimize’s AML Essentials solutions suite that includes Suspicious Activity Monitoring (SAM), CDD/KYC, and Watch List Filtering. Actimize AML Essentials, a cloud-based offering built upon NICE Actimize’s proven, end-to-end anti-money laundering platform, addresses the challenges of regional and community financial institutions. Using the same power and experience as NICE Actimize’s enterprise solutions, AML Essentials offers rapid deployment and reduces overhead to make compliance easier and at a lower total cost of ownership.

In addition, Vancity will enhance its corporate security investigation processes with ActOne Case Management to meet AML regulatory requirements, such as reporting of suspicious transactions to The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) via STR forms. NICE Actimize’s ActOne transforms financial crime investigations by introducing intelligent automation and visual storytelling for speed and accuracy.

“Addressing today’s changing environment can be difficult as regulations, guidelines and threats constantly evolve. Applying modern technologies that incorporate AI, automation and the cloud, NICE Actimize is proud to support Vancity and its journey to protecting the institution, its members, and assets with our advanced suite of financial crime solutions,” said Craig Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize. “Our strong domain expertise and advanced technology will build a more efficient anti-money laundering platform for the cooperative.”

“Our team at Vancity is excited to update its anti-money laundering platform,” said Nez Aquino, Chief Risk Officer, Vancouver City Savings Credit Union. “We are confident that NICE Actimize’s depth of experience and technology leadership will bring us the efficiencies we need to address both regulatory and operational requirements.”

NICE Introduces New Microsoft Teams Integration to CXone and Engage that
Enhances Customers’ Ability to Collaborate Companywide

Customers can access CXone contact center controls from Teams for frictionless collaboration and use NICE
Engage real-time recording to ensure compliance

Hoboken, N.J., January 26, 2021 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE), today announced the availability of new integrated capabilities between NICE inContact CXone and Teams which power company-wide collaboration for faster service, happier customers, and better business results. The company also unveiled integrative capabilities for NICE Engage with Microsoft Teams, empowering real-time recording as well as compatibility with a range of related applications.
 
The latest enhancements to the pre-built CXone for Teams integration further simplify the agent experience and accelerate resolution time:
 

Embedded CXone agent gives CX teams quick and easy access to the tools, systems and people they need — all directly from within Teams.
 

Synchronized CXone directory automatically imports Teams users and displays their presence so agents can easily find, see the availability of, and connect with experts anywhere in the organization for frictionless collaboration, shorter handle time, and higher first-contact resolution.
 

Custom workspaces provide agents effortless access to the websites and applications they use every day, including knowledge bases, corporate websites and even leading CRMs, eliminating time lost on navigating between multiple applications.
 
These new capabilities complement CXone Voice Connectivity for Teams, which enables customers to safeguard every interaction using global, carrier-grade voice services.
 
“Exceptional customer experiences are a business-wide priority, as fostering a community of loyal and engaged advocates is essential to long-term, sustainable growth,” said Paul Jarman, NICE inContact CEO. “Through greater collaboration across the enterprise, agents are further empowered to deliver the speedy, effective and engaging interactions they and customers increasingly rely on. CXone for Microsoft Teams brings together the optimal ingredients for contact center success – collaboration, expertise, and a best-in-class platform.”
 
Extending NICE Engage evidence-keeping compliance support
As regulations for capturing interactions continue to grow, businesses must ensure adequate recording coverage across all communication channels. Contact Centers and back offices using NICE Engage recording can now benefit from complete, real-time recording coverage of all their Teams-based communications to support global regulatory compliance strategies on a single platform. NICE Engage for Teams can reliably record any available media source used through Teams – from voice to screen and chats. With its real-time streaming and recording capabilities, NICE Engage enables Teams users to benefit from a range of solutions such as NICE Real-Time Authentication and real-time notifications for both PCI DSS compliance and recording assurance.
 
NICE Engage drives cost savings owing to real-time streaming which eliminates the need for additional storage when recording interactions. NICE Engage users can repurpose their existing Advanced Interaction Recorder (AIR) channels to Microsoft Teams, further reducing costs. This integration comes on the back of a long line of integrations extending NICE Engage platform support to meet the demands of shifting communication preferences.
 
With the pandemic forcing many businesses to operate remotely, demand for tools that help staff stay connected has increased. As a result, companies have embraced unified communications applications, such as Teams, which now boasts 115 million active daily users.
 
“More employees working from home has led to an uptick in collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, which lets employees collaborate to resolve customer issues quickly and deliver great customer service from anywhere,” said Mike Ammerlaan, senior director, Microsoft 365 Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp. "The NICE integration with Teams helps ensure employees are equipped with the right tools to connect with colleagues across the organization, making agents’ jobs easier and improving the customer experience.”

NICE inContact Named the Market Share Leader in Cloud-Based Contact Center
Infrastructure by DMG Consulting

Independent industry analysis estimates NICE inContact leads in market share by seats

SALT LAKE CITY, January 28, 2021 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that NICE inContact has been named in DMG Consulting’s 2020-2021 Cloud-Based Contact Center Infrastructure Product and Market Report as the market share leader based on seats. The 13th annual report from DMG, a leading independent research and consulting firm, which explores the competitive landscape, market share, projections and adoption rates, also cites expected added momentum for this market as more businesses move their contact centers to the cloud.
 
According to the report, the cloud contact center industry has experienced significant growth over the past 10 years and cloud contact center as a service (CCaaS) adoption is expected to accelerate in 2021.

Paul Jarman, NICE inContact CEO said “Our own research has shown a rapid acceleration of cloud adoption in the last few months. The NICE inContact CX Transformation Benchmark found that 66 percent of contact center leaders who previously did not rely on the cloud planned to make the switch as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cloud contact center technology, such as NICE inContact CXone, provides the foundation for the digital, omnichannel flexibility needed to achieve success.”
