Enable bi-directional Integration of WFM with 3rd party systems

What's the challenge?

Your organization has systems in place, like Human Resources or Payroll Management systems. The addition of a Workforce Management tool requires many of the same data elements that these systems use, which results in redundant data management. This causes frustration and unnecessary work for your IT personnel.

What's the solution?

The Genesys WFM Solution includes an API that provides bi-directional integration between the Genesys WFM Solution and your existing systems, allowing automated synchronization of the two. This eliminates the need for redundant data management, resulting in improved system performance and happier IT personnel.
