October 21, 2024 
In a bold new direction, Genesys has announced a major pivot to focus its innovation efforts on Genesys Cloud™, the Experience Orchestration platform that’s already being adopted by over 4,000 organizations worldwide. This shift signals the company’s long-term vision of ‘Experience as a Service®,’ where businesses migrate to Genesys Cloud to leverage real-time AI and cloud technology for seamless customer interactions across all touchpoints — from marketing to service.
However, Genesys isn’t leaving its on-premises customers behind just yet. They’ve committed to supporting Genesys Engage™ with ongoing maintenance, support, and security updates through 2028 or three years after an end-of-life announcement, whichever is later. This means organizations have time — but not unlimited time — to consider their migration path to Genesys Cloud™.
The Future Of Contact Centers Is On The Cloud: Migrate to Genesys Cloud Now
Genesys Cloud is designed to break beyond traditional contact center limits, creating end-to-end experiences that improve outcomes across every facet of your business. Already, more than 600 enterprises have chosen to migrate, benefiting from the constant flow of new features, 1,000+ developers working weekly on innovations, and unmatched scalability.
Why Now Is The Right Time to Migrate From Genesys Engage To Genesys Cloud
Contact center leaders should view this announcement as a pivotal moment to assess their technology roadmaps. While Genesys Engage remains supported, the innovation is happening in the cloud. Businesses that delay migration risk falling behind competitors who are already reaping the benefits of cloud-native solutions, such as improved agility, faster updates, and superior customer experiences.
