Genesys Cloud Surpasses $1 Billion ARR during Q1 Fiscal Year 24

Genesys®, a global cloud leader in AI-powered experience orchestration, today announced that the Genesys Cloud™ platform has surpassed $1 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR). Achieving this milestone comes in less than four years since the company surpassed $100 million ARR. With Genesys Cloud ARR growth greater than 45% year-over-year during the first quarter of the company’s fiscal year (February 1–April 30, 2023), Genesys continues to seize market share, growing faster than its closest Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) competitor during the same period.

“Leading brands understand great business outcomes are grounded in great experiences,” said Tony Bates, Genesys CEO and chairman. “Our business momentum is validation that our strategy to enable personalised, empathetic experiences at scale is resonating — organisations everywhere are partnering with Genesys to set the new standard in loyalty defining customer and employee engagement. With Genesys Cloud, we’re not only writing the next chapter but delivering on the future of experiences through continuous innovation, modern AI-powered orchestration and unmatched global presence, trusted by thousands of customers of all sizes, scale and industries.”

Genesys saw significant demand for Genesys Cloud across segments and geographies during the quarter. Highlighted new customers include a Fortune 100 logistics company and a major US insurance provider, as well as a European auto insurance company that consolidated its contact centre with Genesys Cloud, replacing NICE and several other vendors. The company also deepened relationships with existing customers, including a Fortune 100 retailer that expanded its experience orchestration capabilities and a Fortune 100 provider of insurance and retirement savings accounts, which evolved from a hybrid cloud to Genesys Cloud. In addition to these large enterprise deals, over 75% of new customers during the quarter were from small- and mid-sized businesses (SMB) as well as mid-market segments.

• More than 80% year-over-year increase in Genesys Cloud revenue in healthcare; Genesys serves six of the top 10 of the global healthcare providers
• More than 50% year-over-year increase in Genesys Cloud revenue in financial services; Genesys serves eight of the top 10 global financial services providers
• The top 50 Genesys Cloud customers averaged more than 8,000 unique agents on the platform, up nearly 30% year-over-year

Market demand for Genesys Cloud has been accelerated by significant customer traction for Genesys AI, offering new generative AI features released this year and comprehensive capabilities spanning conversation automation, agent assistance, conversation intelligence, workforce engagement management, and predictive engagement and routing. During the quarter:

• Genesys had a year-over year increase of more than 3X for its conversational and predictive artificial intelligence (AI) solutions revenue
• The number of customers using three or more native Genesys AI solutions grew nearly 9X year-over-year

The Genesys Cloud platform received the highest scores possible in the AI architecture, workforce optimisation and customer self-service criteria, and among the highest scores in the outbound capabilities criteria. With this placement, Genesys has been named a Leader by Forrester across the company’s four customer experience priorities.
