HOBOKEN, N.J., August 24, 2022 – NICE (Nasdaq: NiCE) today announced that Gartner has recognized NiCE as a Leader in the just-released 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) report with CXone being evaluated. NiCE placed the furthest overall for its Completeness of Vision in the Leaders quadrant. This marks the eighth consecutive year that NiCE has been named a Leader in the CCaaS Magic Quadrant.

This 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CCaaS evaluates Contact Center as a Service providers that empower exceptional customer experiences across industries around the globe. The Gartner Magic Quadrant describes Leaders as follows: “Leaders are best described as suppliers with strong support for the four pillars of great customer service, and with an ability to serve multinational organizations with local sales and support organizations. Leaders are more likely to serve customers through channel partners and have strong brand recognition, which has resulted in a large installed base or above-average market growth as a result of customer demand. Leaders also benefit from being able to support varying levels of deployment complexity, including integrations with partners through established marketplaces.”
