Journey Orchestration Vendor Evaluation Updates - NICE and Genesys
This week RSG updated our vendor evaluation stream for Journey Orchestration Engine (JOE) technology. Specifically, subscribers will find:
- Two new JOE vendors: Nice and Genesys
- Updates to Pega and Infor
- More detailed categorization of the market
NICE and Genesys both come out of the contact center space, and offer yet another reminder that most JOE platforms have a certain bias torwards a particular type of journey, based on where they're from. Every vendor will say they're "omnichannel," but they will often assume that you want to center a customer journey on a website, an email message, or an inbound support call and then try to extend across channels from there. Same for Infor and Pega, which come out of the enterprise software space.
This is multichannel, not omnichannel. But that's where much of the market resides today.
New Categorization
