NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that over 150 industry experts will gather at the NICE Impact Conference 2012 in Melbourne, Australia to share knowledge and best practices on how enterprises can shape customer interactions as they happen and ultimately maximize their business value. One of the central themes of the event, which will take place on August 1 at The Langham hotel, is how to approach Big Data not as a challenge but as an opportunity to understand customers and to best meet customer needs.

Held in conjunction with the regional NICE User Group (NUG) Community, the event offers opportunities for the exchange of peer-to-peer information and for relationship building among business leaders and domain experts. It brings together the NICE user community in order to drive innovation and improvement in industry practices.

"We are excited to showcase the full customer interaction management portfolio for the Australian and New Zealand market, which is often at the forefront of the latest technologies. Our line-up of industry-leading presentations and customer success stories will empower our Australian clients to leverage Big Data in order to gain unique insights into customer interactions across multiple touch points," said Glenn Parker, Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand at NICE.

Three breakout sessions will allow participants to focus on specific areas of improvement for their businesses:

Track 1: Workforce Optimization - This discussion will focus on ways to capture, understand, analyze and optimize operations in order to increase efficiency, improve customer service, and increase revenue opportunities. Sessions will include a Performance Management customer case study and a discussion on "Hidden Opportunities in the Back Office."
