Also noteworthy amongst the top customer satisfaction ratings NICE received was a perfect 5.0 across nine vendor satisfaction categories including product, implementation, professional services, ongoing service and support, product innovation, responsiveness to product enhancement requests, vendor communication, pricing, and overall vendor satisfaction.

Donna Fluss, President, DMG Consulting, said, "New-gen WFM suites are AI-enabled and designed to meet the needs of omnichannel and multi-skill servicing environments, multinational enterprises and digital natives, and the up-and-coming Gen Z workforce. Artificial Intelligence, ML and intelligent automation are key enablers of these vastly improved WFM solutions.”

​​Barry Cooper, President, NICE Workforce & Customer Experience Group, said, "Nothing speaks louder than the impressions of our customers. To be the only player to receive a perfect score for mitigating pandemic related impacts speaks of our ability to support our customers in the moments that matter.”

DMG Consulting LLC's annual 'Workforce Management Product and Market Report' comprehensively analyzes the WFM market, solutions and product suites. The analysis provides an in-depth review of WFM suites, including core forecasting and scheduling, intraday management, real-time adherence, time-off management, self-service and reporting capabilities, along with a variety of value-added and optional modules.

NICE WFM streamlines, automates and optimizes scheduling for agents and supervisors. This improves agent satisfaction by speeding up turnaround time while simplifying supervisors' lives through auto-approval and easier access to agent requests. By moving from a manual system to NICE WFM's automated offering, companies benefit from increased occupancy and shrinkage calculations, which in turn improves reporting accuracy and forecasting.
