HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) NiCE today announced a strategic partnership with Konecta, a global leader in customer experience (CX) and digital services, to accelerate the deployment of next-generation, AI-powered solutions across global markets.
At the core of this partnership is NiCE’s CX AI platform, CXone, recognized as a leading Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solution, along with NiCE Cognigy’s cutting-edge generative and agentic AI technology.

Konecta’s role extends beyond technology integration. The company brings deep expertise in business processes and customer operations to design predefined workflows and AI interactions tailored to the unique needs of each industry.
This approach enables Konecta to deliver:
- Accelerated time-to-value with standardized, industry-ready AI solutions that shorten deployment cycles
