As we approach the NFL’s Big Game, I am reminded that one of the signs of successful athletics teams is they don’t rest on their laurels once they win a game or award. At that point, their eye is already on the next goal – and then the next and the next. They hit the ground running, always moving ahead, getting better, pushing farther, perfecting their abilities as they continue to dominate and lead. Their dedication and superior abilities literally change the game for the better.NICE has always had that same dedication. Customer service technology has constantly evolved to meet shifting demands and needs of every organization. We are proud to continue leading the evolution in game-changing AI-powered solutions that support businesses – and their customers.There are an estimated 359 million companies worldwide and growing. Customers drive their existence and providing effective customer service keeps businesses thriving. Yet it gets more complex every year. That’s why we’re here: To optimize the way organizations support customers as we help them turn simply “effective” to truly “exceptional.”With a proven track record in driving customer experiences (CX), backed by strong financials, and a commitment to R&D and innovation, NICE has constantly led the very competitive customer service and cloud-based contact center as a service (CCaaS) market. 2024 has been one of our most successful and dynamic years yet, including the introduction of a unified AI-powered platform that drives automation across organizations and that will redefine customer service as we know it.Let’s take a look at the highlight reel of our key achievements and recognition in 2024, along with product advancements and breakthroughs. We’ll also reveal why we’re so excited about our game plan for 2025 and why you should be excited too.
Enduring leadership, growth, and trust with a laser-sharp focus on helping companies compete
My favorite college football coach, the late, great Mike Leach, once said, “Football is a constant reminder that if you don’t hustle, someone will run right past you.” In an era where customer service is a key competitive differentiator, service isn’t just part of your business – it IS your business.You need to dedicate your company to staying so far ahead of your competitors that they will never catch up. Choosing the right CCaaS provider will help you do that. But finding the right one is like finding the right player for a sports team. You need someone who has demonstrated the ability and experience to take you to the championship.That’s why we’re dedicated to applying our ability and experience to be the partner you can rely on no matter what your organization needs to reach the top.NICE has been recognized as a global market leader by the industry and customers year after year. Our solutions, including our CXone Mpower platform, Enlighten AI, and workforce optimization to name just a few, are praised for their advanced capabilities, ease of use, data security, and integration, as well as automation abilities (more on that later).We believe this recognition shows that NICE is more than just a market leader. We’re a trusted partner for organizations aiming to sharpen their edge with customer service at the heart of their overall business strategy. Our suite of customer-centric solutions is an integral part of that.According to NICE CEO Scott Russell during a recent CX Today interview, “Consumers are looking to get their intents fulfilled quickly and effectively, which means our role is not just the interaction point but it's also through the fulfillment. So orchestrating that workflow, doing it more effectively, which, from a technology point of view, means going into adjacent domains, the opportunity for us is to expand our value for our customers, and, ultimately, them serving their consumers.”With a growing customer base of over 25,000 organizations spanning 150 countries, including 85 Fortune 100 companies, NICE has solidified our reputation in helping organizations like yours deliver outstanding customer service that resonates with their consumers. As a result, our strong financial growth, including 24% cloud revenue growth and $2+ billion in Cloud ARR, highlights our relentless pursuit of innovation and the success of our customers and theirs.Take a look at what we’ve done in just the past 10 years:Imagine what we – and you – can accomplish together in the next 10 years.
