What's nicer than the world's best workforce management solution? Faster implementation and 25% cost reduction.

ICScx hosts Nice IEX WFM in the Cloud

As a customer experience technology integrator and 4x Nice Partner of the Year, ICScx now hosts the Workforce Management (WFM) platform in the cloud. WFM uses AI and machine learning to help businesses manage their workforce and call center operations.

WFM in the ICS Cloud automates time-consuming processes, minimizes administration, and reduces personnel costs. The ICS Cloud eliminates costs for OS, database, servers, upgrades, and the internal resources required to support on-premise solutions. The ICS Cloud can save companies 25% of the cost of on-premise installations over three years.

Faster Implementation, fully certified, ready to scale

The ICS Cloud is faster to implement than on-premise WFM solutions because it requires no additional hardware and installation.

WFM in the ICS Cloud improves forecasting, scheduling and employee engagement. The new implementation introduces integration into Human Resources Systems including UKG (United Kronos Group), Workday and ServiceNow.

The ICScx Cloud has ISO 27001 certifications, is SOC2-compliant, and can accommodate 50 to 20,000 agents.

Onshore team, Uptime Guarantee

The ICS Cloud is supported by the ICS 24/7 Onshore U.S. Support Team.  ICS guarantees “4-Nine Uptime” (99.99%) – only 52.56 minutes of unplanned downtime per server per year.
