"Flexibility and adaptability have never been more important for businesses," said Paul Jarman, CEO of NICE inContact, in a statement. "Customer needs are changing almost daily, so it's important that agents have access to all the relevant customer information along with the tools to support customers quickly and efficiently. Our partnership with Zendesk ensures that agents have a full view of the customer in an easy-to-use workspace."
Also available, CXone Agent for Zendesk, which is accessible on the Zendesk Marketplace, consolidates customer context and contact center controls into a single interface.
