Unified omnichannel platform has boosted agent efficiency and improved AI‑driven customer journeys
In terms of improvements for Genesys Cloud CX, I see technical limitations such as the lack of a clear mechanism to access multiple organizations effectively. If I have over 100 organizations in Genesys Cloud CX, my support team struggles with access management, and there's no single pane of glass to manage the entire set of tenants. Currently, if we have multiple organizations, we must log into each one to troubleshoot, which presents a challenge. Additionally, while people are more flexible compared to other platforms, those are the main improvements I would like to see. Overall, we have excellent collaboration and get the most out of both this platform for our solutioning needs.
