The Genesys Forecasting feature provides a rich set of workforce management forecasting methods, including artificial intelligent (AI)-powered forecasting available in the Genesys Cloud CX product. Regardless of your geographic location or the size of your enterprise or contact center, Genesys has a forecasting method that will enable you to seamlessly create optimal forecasts, based on real-time or historical data.

Naming conventions in this article

The Genesys Cloud CX product refers to the features and capabilities available with our Genesys Cloud CX contact center solution. The Genesys Multicloud CX product refers to the features and capabilities available with our Genesys Multicloud CX and Genesys Engage on-premises offerings. The PureConnect product refers to the features and capabilities available with our PureConnect cloud and PureConnect on-premises offerings.

To provide clarity and readability in this guide, the names are sometimes shortened, as follows:

  • Genesys Cloud CX product to Genesys Cloud CX
  • Genesys Multicloud CX product to Genesys Multicloud CX
  • PureConnect product to Genesys Cloud CX

The Genesys Cloud CX platform

Common microservices that reside in the Genesys Cloud CX 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 CX, without having to maintain additional infrastructure.

Integrating with Genesys Cloud CX

The integration between the PureConnect cloud, Genesys Multicloud CX, and Genesys Cloud CX is seamless to users, but requires configuration by an administrator or Genesys Professional Services. For more information about how to integrate with Genesys Cloud CX 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 CX platform and can be consumed in cloud or on-premises by Genesys Multicloud CX 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 CX as a service and available to on-premises customers via cloud-hybrid solutions.

  • There is no additional license to acquire, but the following two conditions must be met:
    • Customers must upgrade to Decisions 9.0 release
    • Premise-only customers must sign a legal addendum to use the Genesys Cloud CX services
  • To access the AI-powered forecasting service in Genesys Cloud CX, see Forecasting Requirements.
  • To create AI-powered forecasts, see Decisions Forecasting.

How to order

To order AI-powered forecasting:

  1. Ask your Genesys Account Executive (AE) to select the part number in the Genesys Quote Tool.
    Customers who have on-premises deployments must order from the Genesys Multicloud CX quote tool.
    Once ordered, you'll receive a Master Service Agreement (MSA) from Genesys.
  2. After receiving the MSA, sign and return it to AE.
    Once signed:
    • The Genesys legal team reviews the MSA, and then loads it into Salesforce (SFDC)
    • Genesys creates your Org ID in the Genesys Cloud CX
    • Genesys configures your Org ID in the Cloud product you've selected (either PureConnect cloud or Genesys Multicloud CX)
  3. 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 CX

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 CX 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.
Find information and procedures that describe these methods in the article Add a short-term forecast.

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.
