Genesys Cloud is a suite of cloud services for enterprise-grade communications, collaboration, and contact center management. Genesys Cloud is built on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and uses a distributed cloud environment that provides secure access to organizations around the world with a marginal IT footprint.

Each layer of service integrates with the others for a unified experience. 

• The Genesys Cloud Platform provides the core architecture for all other services. This includes all of the APIs that power the browser, mobile, desktop, and telephony applications.
• Genesys Cloud Collaborate is a social media app that contains data about the people in a workplace and includes ways to connect with them, such as chat, video, and document sharing. Learn more about Genesys Cloud Collaborate.
• Genesys Cloud Communicate adds telephony features to Collaborate, making it a unified communications solution. Features include phone, voicemail, conferencing, and transfers. Learn more about Genesys Cloud Communicate.
• Genesys Cloud contact center uses the telephony foundation of Genesys Cloud Communicate to operate a contact center service that handles every aspect of customer interactions, including interactive voice response (IVR), automatic call distribution (ACD), skills-based routing of phone calls, emails, web chats,  and much more.
