The DMG report, which was issued in May, shows that NICE's WFM market share is up from last year's 22.5 percent, placing NICE in first place for the fifth consecutive year. "2011 was an outstanding year for the contact center workforce management market," said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting. "End-user interest in WFM solutions is at an all-time high, coming from both first-time adopters who are finally looking to automate their labor-intensive manual processes, as well as long-time WFM users who are adding seats or replacing an existing solution that has been outgrown." According to DMG's 2012 Contact Center Workforce Management Market Report, NICE was ranked as the top vendor for customer satisfaction, which was evaluated on the basis of nine categories, including product, implementation, service and maintenance, training, professional services, innovation, communication, pricing, and overall vendor satisfaction.
