"The Workforce Optimization market will remain strong for the next three years, with cloud-based WFO offerings on the rise," said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting. "The contact center segment of the WFO market showed a healthy growth rate of 7.9% between the first half of 2010 and 2011. NICE was the largest contributor to this growth."

NICE offers a WFO contact center suite that contains 10 modules for full [ customer experience ]: recording, coaching, e-learning, performance management, surveying, [ speech analytics ], [ workforce management ], desktop analytics, text analytics and a WFO back-office suite.

"The ability to shape an interaction in real time is a key component in maximizing the value of customer interactions and driving improvement across the enterprise," added Einhorn.
