“Things are working. They’re working across the brands—not just for one brand. There are a few things we want from an IVR partner. We want to improve our ROI. We want positive customer experiences. We want to improve automation. Those are the three key markers for us, and the reasons we went to Genesys.  And they proved it to us through the interactive voice response systems [IVR].”

Lee Congdon, CIO, Red Hat

“With Genesys, we have more visibility to our customers and their needs. We are able to think strategically and break out of silos, concentrating on consistent, excellent customer experiences around the world. Getting the system implemented was easy and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with Genesys.”
