NICE's Workforce Management leads market share for the ninth consecutive year in DMG Consulting's 2023-2024 Enterprise WFM Product and Market Report.
The report analysed the overall functional components of seven vendors that offer WFM Suites to help companies select the right solution, technology, functionality, and partner to meet their organisation's current and future WFM needs.
According to the report, NICE continues to lead market share for the ninth year, commanding 36.9% of the total WFM seats and securing nearly one million more seats than the closest competitor.
Moreover, NICE gained the most customers over 14 months, with an increase of 13.9%, driven by the increased recognition of the benefits of utilising WFM solutions to improve the customer experience (CX).
