We design systems that help organizations orchestrate multi-step, multi-actor journeys (such as service requests, applications, and approvals) that span teams, time, and tools. Our mission is to make sophisticated workflows feel simple, intuitive for agents, flexible for supervisors, and adaptable to modern work. We’re building the foundation for a new product category within Genesys Cloud, extending the power of experience orchestration beyond interactions to the full lifecycle of customer experiences.
