Overall Satisfaction with Genesys Multicloud CX

We are nearing the end of a project to integrate the ACD with our CRM and deploy it to agents at three call centers.
  • Stability - as long as we have the hardware to run it.
  • I like the chat bot and voice bot functionality that I was able to configure rather easily.
  • I have heard from some of our developers that data integration is difficult. We have spent a lot of time developing services for that data transfer.
Genesys does a lot more.
  • Genesys Engage would do well as we integrate our division. I can see our whole organization using it.
  • Voice bots or Chat bots that transfer to a live agent when the questions are off the script.
  • I like the call back feature that hold my place in line.

Using Genesys Multicloud CX

2 - Only a few since we are investigating it as we plan to migrate from an on-premises system.
  • Customer Service
  • Inbound Sales
  • Outbound Sales
  • Complex call routing based on client, agent skills, customer type, geography
We have Genesys experience and do not plan to learn another systemm

Evaluating Genesys Multicloud CX and Competitors

Yes - We replaced an in-house, custom phone system. We replaced it because we are not in the business of developing phone systems and wanted to use those development resources on other software that aligned with our business purpose and needs.
  • Product Features
  • Product Reputation
I would have had our IT department evaluate the system as a test. I would have hired a voice engineer rather than outsourcing the position. I would have chosen a different vendor, one who knew something about Genesys.

Genesys Multicloud CX Implementation

It was a death march. We finally learned enough about the product to know that our vendor knew nothing and had done it wrong. We hired voice engineers and took over the project. We should have fired our vendor much earlier.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Third-party professional services
Eventus
Yes - IVR then Integration into our CRM
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
  • Lack of the ability to evaluate the system prior to implementation
  • Vendor was not knowlegeable - We hired our own people
  • We did not know what we did not know
