State Employees’ Credit Union Transforms Member Experiences, Surpassing CSAT Goals in Just 6 Months with NiCE CXone Mpower

With NiCE’s AI-driven platform, SECU also streamlined operations, enhanced collaboration and achieved breakthrough efficiency

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU), one of the largest credit unions in the U.S., serving over 2.8 million members, has transformed its member contact center experience and operational efficiency with NiCE CXone Mpower. By adopting an AI-driven, cloud-native platform, SECU has streamlined operations, enhanced workforce management, and leveraged automation to drive efficiency and improve service levels.

Facing limitations with legacy infrastructure, SECU turned to NiCE’s all-in-one platform to unify, automate, and optimize its contact center operations. The move enabled SECU to centralize service channels, enhance employee performance management, and implement real-time tracking for better decision-making and service delivery.

With CXone Mpower’s omnichannel capabilities and AI-driven automation, SECU has revolutionized its member service operations. The platform’s user-friendly interface has empowered agents with seamless access to critical information, improving productivity and responsiveness while reducing call volumes and wait times. Having AI-powered intelligence at their fingertips has been instrumental in helping SECU improve training, identify performance opportunities, and enhance the overall member experience. Moreover, the platform’s scalability ensures that SECU can integrate new AI and automation capabilities without disrupting existing infrastructure, enabling future growth.

Key Outcomes from SECU’s Transformation with CXone Mpower:

  • Achieved 94%-member satisfaction and a net positive sentiment score since launch

  • AI-driven call routing reduced wait times from 300 seconds to under 60 seconds

  • 90% agent participation rate in AI-assisted workforce self-service tools

  • Reduced manual administrative effort by 20%

NiCE’s Value Realization Services (VRS), played a key role in SECU’s transformation by providing expert guidance to tailor CXone Mpower to the credit union’s needs, ensuring seamless implementation and continuous optimization.

“The transformation with NiCE has been a game-changer for us,” said Jared Benesh, EVP of Member Experience at SECU. “We didn’t piecemeal solutions; we chose a single, complete platform and now we’re reaping the rewards. Since implementing CXone Mpower, we have achieved outstanding improvements and are ready to deliver even more exceptional experiences for members and agents with new capabilities and expanded AI-driven automation.”

“SECU’s success highlights the power of taking a platform approach to enhance experiences and drive business transformation,” said Barry Cooper, President, CX Division, NiCE. “Too many organizations fall victim to the ‘Frankenstack’—disparate solutions stacked together without cohesion. When AI and automation are layered onto fragmented systems, friction isn’t eliminated – in fact, it often amplifies it. SECU exemplifies how to do it right—by adopting a unified AI-powered platform, they have seen rapid results and are now well positioned to expand AI and automation for even greater impact.”

Looking ahead, SECU plans to expand its adoption of NiCE’s advanced AI and automation capabilities, including Autopilot and Voice Authentication, to further elevate member and employee experiences.

Addus HomeCare Comments on Budget Approval for In-Home Care Rate Increases in Illinois and Texas Markets

Addus HomeCare Comments on Budget Approval for In-Home Care Rate Increases in Illinois and Texas Markets

FRISCO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today provided an update on recent state legislature budget approvals for in-home care rate increases in the States of Illinois and Texas, and the expected impact on the Company’s operations in these markets.

On May 31, 2025, the State of Illinois finalized its fiscal 2026 budget with the inclusion of a 3.9% increase in the base hourly reimbursement rate to $30.80 per hour to sustain a minimum wage of $18.75 per hour for direct in-home care service workers. The state programs affected by this increase include the Illinois Department on Aging, Community Care Program (CCP); Illinois Department of Human Services, Home Services Program (HSP); and Illinois Department of HealthCare and Family Services, Managed Long-Term Service and Supports Program (MLTSS). The Company expects this rate increase will add approximately $17.5 million in annualized revenue for Addus, with margins consistent with its existing Illinois personal care business in the low 20%s and within the State of Illinois’s 77.0% requirement for caregiver wages and benefits. The Illinois rate increase will be effective January 1, 2026, subject to federal approval.

On June 3, 2025, the State of Texas finalized its fiscal 2026 budget with the inclusion of a 9.9% increase in the base hourly reimbursement rate to $17.13 per hour. The state programs affected by this increase include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Community Attendant Services Program (CASP) and related programs. The Company expects to generate approximately $17.7 million in additional annualized revenue assuming implementation consistent with historical precedent of HHSC and the Texas Managed Health Plans, with margins expected to be largely consistent with its existing Texas personal care business just over 20% after caregiver wages are adjusted. The Texas rate increase will be effective September 1, 2025, subject to federal approval.

Commenting on the announcement, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Addus HomeCare, stated, “We are extremely pleased with the commitment to our services by both Illinois and Texas state leadership and the favorable results from their respective budget processes. In our personal care business, our services have continued to receive reimbursement support from many states where we operate. Illinois is our largest state market for personal care services, and, with the recent acquisition of Gentiva’s personal care operations, Texas now represents our second largest state market. We believe our services deliver real value to state Medicaid programs, and there is growing recognition of the benefits of home-based care as a preferred cost-effective care setting. We appreciate the support of the leadership of Illinois and Texas, and the commitment to provide this added funding, which will further enhance our ability to provide quality care.”

Butterfly Network, Inc.

Following Butterfly’s revocation submission in October 2024, the Commission has now appointed the Oeko-Institut as consultant to lead the technical assessment of the request, including a third-party evaluation. The stakeholder consultation questionnaire is open and will run from June 6, 2025 to August 1, 2025, allowing interested parties to submit feedback. A recommendation by the Oeko-Institut to the European Commission on the request is expected by Q2 of 2026. If favorable and after final adoption of the Delegated Act indicating the change of scope in the exemption, it will take 12 to 18 months for it to enter into legal force.

“We’re encouraged to see that the formal review of our revocation request is underway and grateful to the Commission and the Oeko-Institut for their attention to this matter,” said Joseph DeVivo, President, CEO & Chairman of Butterfly. “We remain optimistic about the opportunity to align ultrasound manufacturing with the EU’s broader circular economy and sustainability goals and modernize standards that better reflect today’s innovations in medical imaging.”
