The relationship extends the reach and availability of Verint Workforce Optimization™ (WFO) solutions into enterprise contact centers, or customer engagement centers, on a global basis.

Additionally, Verint will work closely with Unify to co-develop strategic features designed to help Unify contact center customers reach their full potential.

“As a recognized leader in customer engagement optimization and workforce optimization, we welcome the addition of Verint solutions to our portfolio, and look forward to the strategic initiatives that will drive business success for our clients,” says Stephen Feldman, director of product management for contact centers at Unify.
