Strong Product Portfolio Aids NICE’s Customer Base

NICE is benefiting from a robust portfolio, a strong partner base and an expanding clientele. The company’s platforms like Actimize, Evidencentral, CXone, Inform Elite, Robotic Process Automation and Investigate have been gaining traction recently.

In April 2023, NICE expanded the Actimize portfolio with the launch of the next-gen ActOne10 Case Management solution. The AI-powered solution helps financial institutions fight financial crime with speed, intelligence and agility without sacrificing operating efficiency.

NICE’s strong customer base is noteworthy. Apart from ING Group, other banks like Bank of America (BAC - Free Report) and Citigroup (C - Free Report) have been aiding in the growing adoption of NICE Actimize.

Bank of America uses NICE Actimize to monitor and prevent fraud and cyberattacks across its digital channels, such as online banking, mobile banking and ATMs. Citigroup uses NICE Actimize to promote integrity, accountability, and transparency in the public sector and beyond.

The company further strengthened its CXone portfolio with the latest Spring 2023 release that offers AI-powered capabilities that helps in customer interactions. CXone is a CX native cloud platform that helps leading organizations offer a seamless CXi experience to customers by utilizing digitalization, AI and automation.

NICE’s Prospects Remain Bright

The Zacks Internet Software companies in the United States are expected to perform well in the rest of 2023, driven by strong demand for cloud-based, AI-enabled and data-driven software solutions. Continuous technological innovations and increased spending have been major headwinds.

However, shares of NICE have gained 7.2% year to date against the Zacks Internet Software industry’s and the Computer and Technology sector’s growth of 53.2% and 36.1% year to date, respectively.

NICE has been suffering from challenging macroeconomic conditions and raging inflation. The reversal of pandemic trends and stiff competition have also hurt this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company’s growth, despite the strong pipeline of its solutions.
