The Genesys Cloud platform
Common microservices that reside in the Genesys Cloud platform can be consumed by both Genesys Multicloud CX and PureConnect through integration. These collaborative, communications, customer engagement products take full advantage of the distributed nature of the cloud, by accessing common services that reside in the Genesys Cloud, without having to maintain additional infrastructure.
Integrating with Genesys Cloud
The integration between the PureConnect cloud, Genesys Multicloud CX, and Genesys Cloud is seamless to users, but requires configuration by an administrator or Genesys Professional Services. For more information about how to integrate with Genesys Cloud to access its services, see the table below.
AI-Powered Forecasting
The cloud-based Forecasting feature utilizes a machine-learning engine. Inspired by the latest research in the field, it leverages best practices in data science and the industry. AI-powered forecasting updates are applied automatically, providing a continuous infusion of cutting edge algorithms to the library.
AI-Powered Forecasting is a common service that is hosted in the Genesys Cloud platform and can be consumed in cloud or on-premises by Genesys Engage and PureConnect customers.What are the business benefits?
This feature is the industry’s first AI-powered forecasting service and it's unique to Genesys, enabling us to:
- Add and improve the algorithms available to you automatically and immediately
- Automate the traditionally manual forecasting process, thereby reducing errors and saving time
- Leverage the power of AI and machine learning, resulting in continuous, improved accuracy of forecasts
Where is this feature available and how do I get it?
AI-powered forecasting is available in the Genesys Cloud as a service and available to on-premises customers via cloud-hybrid solutions.

- Genesys configures your Org ID in the Cloud product you've selected (either PureConnect cloud or Genesys Multicloud CX)
- Update your server with the new AI-powered services feature license.
Part numbers
The Forecasting feature part number is different for each Cloud and on-premises product. Be sure to let your AE know which product you want to order. Use the following part numbers when ordering your license for this feature:
| Product | Part name | Part number |
| PureConnect cloud: | AI Powered Forecasting and Scheduling PCC | CS 031 4.0 AIFS PCC |
| PureConnect On-premises: | AI Powered Forecasting and Scheduling PCP | SW 031 4.0 AIFS PCP |
| Genesys Multicloud CX: | AI Powered Forecasting PEC | 3GP111566ABAA |
| Genesys Engage On-premises: | AI Powered Forecasting PEP | 3GP111565ACAA |
Other available forecasting methods
In addition to AI-powered forecasting, Genesys offers a variety of other forecasting methods that are suitable for workforce management environments of various sizes and types.
Genesys Cloud
In addition to Automatic Best Method Selection, which automatically creates forecasts by using the best method, you can choose other forecasting methods in Workforce Management, such as:
- Weighted Historical Index—Uses previously captured historical Genesys Cloud data and specifies a historical index weighting.
- Weighted Historical Index with Source Data Import—Uses data from a .csv file and specifies a historical index weighting.
- Import Forecast —Uses forecast data from an imported .csv file.
PureConnect cloud
In addition to AI-Powered Forecasting, you can choose other forecasting methods in Interaction Optimizer, such as:
- Local Forecasting—Uses historical ACD data (and optionally, Day Selection and Weighting) to calculate the interaction volume for the next time period.
Find information and procedures that describe this method in the Interactive Optimizer Help.
Genesys Multicloud CX and on-premises
In addition to AI-powered, you can choose other forecasting methods in Workforce Management, such as:
- Automated—Uses one of two WFM automated algorithms: Expert Average Engine or Universal Modeling Engine.
- Template based—Builds forecasts using preconfigured interaction volume (IV) and/or average handling time (AHT) templates.
- Copy historical data—Combines the historical data with templates, which fill in gaps in the data. Use this method if you have some historical data, but not enough to use the Expert Average or Universal Modeling engines.
- Use values—Applies a specific interaction volume or AHT to each time interval in the scenario. Use this method if your site activity load is very regular.
Genesys Multicloud CX customers can find information and procedures that describe all of these methods in Workforce Management in the Supervisor's Guide.
Genesys Engage on-premises customers can find information and procedures that describe all of these methods in the Workforce Management Supervisor Help.
