Jacada Positioned in 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Workforce Engagement Management Report

Technologies that help drive engagement through interaction assistance (such as next best action, unified desktop, and process guidance and automation) have become an essential dimension of WEM beyond traditional agent management

ATLANTA, Feb. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jacada, Inc., a global leader in customer service automation software, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner as a Niche Player in the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) Software.

This is the first year Jacada has been positioned in the Magic Quadrant. Jacada believes demand for employee engagement solutions powered by world class AI and RPA become a must-have complement to existing Workforce Optimization (WFO) platforms. Companies are seeking higher levels of automation, intelligent assistance and guidance than in years past, to truly empower employees who are otherwise burdened to cope with complexities.

Jim Davies and Jim Robinson, analysts at Gartner, write in the report, "technologies that help drive engagement through interaction assistance (such as next best action, unified desktop, and process guidance and automation) have become an essential dimension of WEM beyond traditional agent management functions.”

Jacada is proud to be listed as a part of this innovative way to look at employee engagement and complement traditional approaches with AI bots that assist agents during an interaction, guide agents through difficult processes, and consolidate dozens of systems on the desktop into a unified experience.
