• So, first of all it gives the answer or translates in real time which is awesome.
• It has speaker diarization, which detects who spoke each segment. This is a great feature because it can track the number of people as well.
• It has an automatic punctuation system that detects each punctuation mark, such as a dot and a comma, and places it in the text.
• Lastly, it offers a variety of language translations, providing a global platform for interaction with people from different countries.

• Client templates are hard to administer and are built very different than the rest of the functionality.
• Web desktop has been slow to come along and include all the features.
• Optimizer is very sub-par product.

• Integration outside of the google eco system is challenging here.
• Google Cloud Speech-to-Text works only with active internet connection if the internet bandwidth is low it effect the transcription process and can lead to data inaccuracy.
• In terms of the pricing also this is at higher range which all the companies cannot afford like small scale organisation if they would like to use the tool they would look over the price to make the decision. Reducing the price can increase the product usage more

We are so embedded on Pure Connect that we like to progress with it. For instance, we are looking into ways to provide different solutions to our customers, help our business to succeed, and work in a better CX.

One of the biggest advantages is that all is in one platform.

The interface is only semi user-friendly on almost every front. Agent experience is lacking and we have found many limitations within the system. Workforce forecasting is not as robust as expected. Quality continues to be a struggle. Interaction searches are not robust.

The reasoning behind my 10 is that the UI is very intuitive; I didn't require any formal training to use it. Google's speech-to-text is not just a conversion tool; it helps automate mundane tasks, saves time, and has an almost human-like understanding.

The application itself uses a hub and spoke model that can help isolate errors in one section of the application from the rest, creating a much more stable overall program. Of all of the outages that we've had with our contact center platform, I can count on one hand how often it was truly a Genesys issue rather than a network issue, server issue or issue with a platform relied upon for an integration (web services, db calls).

Some of the client applications take a bit of time on initial load, but with the move towards web based applications that issue is alleviated. You can tell that effort really isn't putting into the desktop apps any longer and that the client development effort is being put into bringing Interaction Connect closer to feature parity with the desktop (and bringing wholly new features to Connect). As far as IVR operations, web service calls, database operations: they all operate reasonably.

Some cases are resolved quickly others are taking longer and the reseller sometimes has to chase support several times and explain the issue seen several times. While being a direct customer before, I recognise this and it seems that when a case moves to another engineer they don’t read the previous case notes or don’t understand what has been done. This, from a customers perspective, slows down resolution times.

I liked the setup of the whole class. The instructor knew the topic well enough to answer questions from entry level to a more advanced one.

Instructor encouraged participation of the whole class and was able to engage every one. Also provided "real live" examples so everyone can relate to it.

The online training itself is good. You are provided resources and can self study to a certain point, but the pacing always felt off. Either snails pace or like trying to drink from a fire hose. I think this easily could have had to do with course material and my personal preparations, though. I would say my main gripe is that since the acquisition the team responsible for actually booking training is very unresponsive and often not knowledgeable about the courses they offer. Booking my last training was a real chore.

Don't try to go the perfect solution as a first target. Work on answer the more needs with a simple solution. Then analyse and try again to answer the most needs with adding a bit if complexity only if require. No needs to customise straight from the beginning or deployment takes too long.

Call Manager, you had to buy all the components that are out of the box for PureConnect. The licensing model is more expensive on the Cisco side vs the Genesys PureConnect side. Lastly was on the Cisco side since you have to connect/integrate all the components on the cisco side you have to have so many vendors to install those parts. This drives the cost up even more so it was not worth going that route for our organization.

Google Cloud Speech-to-Text outperformed its competitors significantly in terms of accuracy, surpassing any other product available. Additionally, its support for multiple languages was unrivaled in the market. Moreover, for clients with robust bandwidth, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text offered real-time transcription capabilities, enabling users to transcribe live audio streams with minimal delay.

Genesys PureConnect's core and adjunct model allows for fairly easy growth in satellite locations via off site session managers, remote located media servers, remote content servers, etc to allow you to spread the infrastructure out while not pushing as much network traffic to your core data centers.

• We're improving our CX by optimizing our call centers, using additional attributes and keys to identify the best rep for the job.
• We are also streamlining the journey of each individual customer by using PureConnect as the central interface for omnichannel interactions, allowing us to pick up the conversation where we left off.
• Using additional attributes that start with the contact center interaction, we're able to track a student journey and proactively step in - increasing our individualized support to focus on the student outcome.

• It reduced our budget for assistants who transcribed files manually
• It speeds up the process, because we can have a transcriptions straight after the interviews
• It increased accuracy, because AI makes the transcriptions for every second, and you can find the words which were said at specific time.
