25 March 2025 Genesys Expands the Customer Engagement Continuum with Social Listening Genesys Cloud Social unlocks real-time insights from social media, fueling AI-driven, end-to-end, personalised customer experience orchestration London, 25 March 2025 — Genesys®, a global cloud leader in AI-Powered Experience Orchestration, today announced Genesys Cloud Social to help organisations use social media channels to learn more about their customers and engage with them in new ways. By adding broad public social media listening, the company expands the Genesys Cloud™ platform’s existing capabilities beyond direct messaging to unlock deeper understanding of consumer sentiment that can inform and enrich every interaction. Organisations can unify customer insights across voice, digital and social media channels, giving them more context and control to orchestrate proactive and personalised end-to-end customer experiences.  Social media channels have become an increasingly crucial and largely untapped opportunity for organisations to build relationships with their customers. According to a survey Genesys conducted in 2024, 52% of consumer respondents who have shared about a negative service interaction on social media say it was to prompt direct attention from the brand for help resolving their problem. Yet, many organisations manage social media engagement outside of the contact center and lack the infrastructure to bring this channel together with other modes of communication, resulting in siloed customer data and disconnected journeys.   With native social media listening and sentiment analysis now embedded in Genesys Cloud, organisations have new levels of visibility into what consumers are saying about them online and they gain the ability to interact, resolve issues and manage their reputations in real time. Numerous existing Genesys Cloud customers, including Almosafer and Sistecredito, recognize the positive impact that can come from the expanded social media capabilities now available as a result of the Genesys acquisition of Radarr Technologies last year.   Tapping into Social Media for a Dynamic View of Customers  Genesys Cloud Social captures public social media posts and mentions from popular social networks, such as Facebook and X, collecting insights from keywords, accounts and hashtags all in one place. Sentiment analysis through natural language processing across nearly 50 languages helps to identify and classify posts as positive, negative or neutral — enabling organizations to keep a pulse on their customers and brand’s reputation. Genesys Cloud then uses these social media insights, including consumer attitudinal, sentiment and interaction data, as a critical source for Genesys Cloud AI, fueling the platform’s 360-degree customer view to empower rich contextual engagement that drives loyalty and differentiation.  Genesys Cloud Social works seamlessly with Genesys Cloud AI to help organisations manage customer interactions on both public and private social media channels, enabling them to analyse data, automate tasks and summarise interactions. For consumer interactions that need a human touch, agents can reply via the same Genesys Cloud interface, routing and queue approach they use for other voice and digital interactions, enhancing efficiency and accelerating resolution.   “With Genesys Cloud Social, we’re expanding the customer journey beyond traditional engagement points, giving organisations more visibility into how consumers think and feel before they ever reach a contact center,” said Olivier Jouve, chief product officer at Genesys. “These real-time insights not only enrich customer interactions but also fuel Genesys Cloud AI, further strengthening our ability to help organizations personalise experiences at scale. This can be a game-changer for organisations looking to unify engagement, deepen customer relationships and differentiate their brands in an increasingly digital world.”  Genesys Cloud Social is now available with the AI Experience token model that allows organisations the flexibility to use AI to meet their evolving business needs. The new Genesys Cloud CX 4 package, which offers organisations more AI experience at the best value, includes 30 AI Experience tokens and Agent Copilot for each user and Journey Management for the contact center.  Genesys Cloud Social for Facebook and X will be generally available globally by the end of March 2025. Support for Instagram and Open Messaging, which will enable virtually any social channel — even if not natively supported — will follow soon after.

03/13/2025 Genesys Research Finds Consumers Believe AI Will Improve Customer Experience and Businesses Are Rising to the Opportunity Nearly two-thirds of consumers surveyed see AI’s potential to increase the quality and speed of customer service SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2025 — Genesys®, a global cloud leader in AI-Powered Experience Orchestration, has released its latest research report, “The State of Customer Experience,” revealing critical insights into consumer expectations and the evolving priorities of customer experience (CX) leaders worldwide. Notably, nearly two-thirds (64%) of consumers surveyed believe AI will improve the quality and speed of customer experience over the next two to three years. The good news is that organisations are focusing on the integration of AI into their CX strategies to close the gaps between the experiences they’re delivering today, and the services consumers want. For today’s CX leaders, the potential for AI to transform how their organisations engage with customers is front and centre, demonstrated by the 42% who cited increasing the use of AI to improve experiences as a top priority in the survey. For many companies, AI has become so important, they’re investing a whopping 33% of their CX-related spend toward the technology in the coming year. Nearly half (46%) of CX leaders surveyed are investing in AI solutions like copilots and real-time coaching that can help improve the employee experience, which 26% of CX leaders consider critical to ensuring they meet their strategic CX goals. “Consumers are encouraged by the role AI can play in giving them better customer experiences,” said David Norrie, senior vice president at Genesys. “As organisations continue investing in automation and AI to boost efficiency, they can’t risk missing the bigger picture: Customers want companies to solve their problems quickly and with empathy. This report underscores the opportunity for organisations to use AI to improve their customer relationships through better understanding their customers and to provide faster, more memorable experiences regardless of the channel.” Failing to deliver on what consumers believe to be a good experience can have significant impact on an organisation’s bottom line: More than half (53%) of consumers surveyed said they will abandon a favorite brand after experiencing as few as two poor interactions. In fact, 30% of those surveyed admitted that they stopped doing business with a company in the last year after a bad experience. With 41% of CX leaders surveyed citing keeping pace with consumers’ rising expectations as their greatest challenge, harnessing AI to improve customer experiences is a business imperative. Other Key Findings: Customers’ Expectations Are Reasonable — Their Hold Times Are Not Regardless of the channel, 86% of consumers surveyed expect to connect with an agent within one to 10 minutes. Unfortunately, over 60% say they’ve waited 15 to 60-plus minutes in the past year. And organisations are underestimating the problem. CX leaders surveyed believe long wait times (10-plus minutes) occur only 10% of the time, illustrating a discrepancy between perception and reality. This suggests that organisations aren’t fully aware of the day-to-day customer experience and the frustrations long wait times cause. First-Contact Resolution Is More Important Than Ever Consumers surveyed ranked first-contact resolution as the most valued aspect of a service interaction, yet CX leaders surveyed ranked it ninth. This highlights a disconnect between customer expectations and business priorities. Only 32% of CX leaders surveyed say their organisations currently track first-contact resolution, despite its potential impact on customer satisfaction and retention. Implementing a measurement strategy for first-contact resolution is a crucial first step for organisations to better understand customer needs, identify service gaps and take meaningful action to improve the overall customer experience. Personalisation Drives Loyalty, but the “Privacy Paradox” Remains Seventy-seven percent of consumers surveyed are more likely to recommend a brand that consistently provides personalised service, and nearly three-quarters say they’d buy more from brands that do. Nearly 50% of consumers surveyed want agents to have access to their data to improve personalisation, with nearly 70% reporting they get irritated or frustrated when they don’t. This demonstrates consumers’ preference for personalisation and willingness to share data with the proper transparency and controls in place. Among the organisations that haven’t yet transitioned their CX capabilities fully into the cloud, 56% of CX leaders surveyed plan to do so within the next two years, recognising it as a vital step toward enabling AI-driven personalisation at scale. Customers Want Seamless Omnichannel Experience — But Organisations Are Lagging Ninety-seven percent of consumers surveyed prioritise seamless omnichannel experiences (e.g., communicating across social channels, chat, phone, etc.), and they expect the ability to transition effortlessly between channels without having to repeat themselves. Only 16% of CX leaders surveyed say their organisations provide fully integrated omnichannel experiences, despite 86% of CX leaders surveyed recognising the importance of this. This gap highlights a major opportunity for organisations to better align their investments with customer expectations to eliminate frustration.   To learn more about the insights, read the full report here.   Methodology: Genesys worked with an independent research firm to survey 5,232 consumers and 1,181 CX decision-makers in more than 16 countries. The survey was conducted in September and October of 2024. Among the business respondents, the industries represented were airlines, automotive, banking, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, media and entertainment, professional services, retail, travel and hospitality, technology, telecommunications, and utilities.
