Genesys Announces Intent to Acquire Bold360 from LogMeIn

16 Mar 2021

Genesys®, a global leader in cloud customer experience and contact center solutions, announced its intent to acquire Bold360, a leader in AI powered digital customer engagement. The proposed acquisition of Bold360 from LogMeIn will advance Genesys' Experience as a Service(SM) vision. Chosen by the largest businesses in the world and recognized by industry analysts, Bold360 is known for its leading digital capabilities, including its conversational AI, dynamic knowledge base and intuitive agent experience. 

By uniting Bold360's complementary capabilities with the Genesys AI and data platform and partner ecosystem, Genesys will enable companies to deliver experiences that are fluid, context-based and personalized across any part of their business or channel. With Bold360, Genesys will accelerate its vision for Experience as a Service, reimagining how empathy can inextricably link marketing, sales and service experiences for customers. 

Experience as a Service makes it possible for companies to listen, understand and predict customer behavior before they act to deliver more effective and empathetic customer experiences. In fact, customer engagement and service are becoming far more strategic as they move from a cost center to a revenue accelerator. According to Gartner, "By 2025, 40% of customer service organizations will become profit centers by becoming de facto leaders in digital customer engagement."1

Upon close, Bold360 will join the Genesys Digital and AI business unit led by Barry O'Sullivan, Genesys executive vice president and general manager. The acquisition is expected to build on the company's momentum in the market, with record-setting cloud growth and more than 800 new customers on Genesys Cloud™ and Genesys Engage Multicloud™ in fiscal year 2021.
