Genesys Announces Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS

A cloud experience orchestration leader and cloud computing company collaborate to reimagine customer engagement in the digital-first era

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Genesys®, a global cloud leader in experience orchestration, today announced a new Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to help organizations create exceptional experiences through deeper coordination of technologies and intelligent, automated solutions.

Building upon their longstanding partnership, Genesys and AWS are doubling down on their commitment to help joint customers reimagine the experiences they deliver to meet the expectations of discerning digital-first consumers. This is increasingly crucial today as organizations can no longer afford slow innovation cycles and disconnected systems frequently at the root of fractured customer relationships. Genesys and AWS plan to expand joint development and their go-to-market relationship to empower organizations to accelerate their digital transformation and cloud customer experience strategies.

Using the Genesys Cloud™ platform, a cloud native solution built on AWS, more than 4,000 customers are already orchestrating personalized experiences and improving operational efficiency by leveraging the combined power of two global technology companies. Furthermore, with more than 800,000 users on the platform across 13 AWS Regions, Genesys Cloud is one of the most proven, reliable contact center solutions for any organization.

As part of the agreement, the companies are also working to market and sell Genesys Cloud with AWS Contact Center Intelligence (CCI) solutions to streamline access for customers. Today, AWS CCI and Genesys Cloud customers can easily use Amazon Transcribe, Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, Amazon Kendra and other AI-powered services in the AWS CCI portfolio to improve customer service and agent productivity.

Companies across every industry, such as Alberta Motor Association (AMA) Group, are combining Genesys Cloud and AWS to orchestrate exceptional self-service and human-assisted experiences across voice and digital channels.

"The key differentiators of Genesys versus other vendors for us was the flexibility, robust roadmap, licensing options and API integrations, which brought a sense of clarity and ease of use for our admins and developer teams," said Kymberli O’Hagan, Technical Analyst III at AMA. "When we first moved to Genesys Cloud, we had a third-party bot system for roadside assistance, but since then, we’ve moved away from that solution and built a bot completely in-house using Genesys and Amazon Lex."

The multifaceted partnership of Genesys and AWS also extends to the availability of Genesys Cloud in the AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software.
