“More than 20 years ago we embarked on a journey to build the first converged all-in-one communication applications platform for the contact centre,” said Dr. Donald E. Brown, Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO. “It’s gratifying to see our vision affirmed with the majority of contact centres today opting for single-vendor solutions that reduce costs and simplify management.

“But as always, we’re looking ahead and we have a new vision for further improving our contact centre offering. This one, based on multitenant cloud services, delivers accelerated business impact through dramatically faster deployment, and a more empowered, personalized customer experience. So, whether you’re looking for an on-premises, cloud or hybrid solution, know that we’ll continue to innovate to help contact centres turn their customer engagement investments into more consistent business outcomes,” Brown concluded.

In 1997 Interactive Intelligence introduced its all-in-one IP communications software suite, Customer Interaction Centre™ (CIC), to deliver multichannel applications minus the cost and complexity introduced by multipoint products. Today, CIC offers a wide array of customer engagement, unified communications, and business process automation functionality. It can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises and is ideal for organizations of all sizes.
