Family takes precedence!
Genesys acquired Interactive Intelligence a few years ago, and eventually settled on Genesys Cloud as the main platform (created under Interactive Intelligence as PureCloud with beta in 2014). It's been a good ride, for sure!

@George Ganahl It's impressive how much time you've spent fostering the community that this has evolved into. No wonder you're a Community Rockstar.
It has been interesting seeing how many people are engaged with the community. Even on LinkedIn where I've been creating a (very humble) following, people are obviously engaged and wanting to find out more about solutions for Genesys. it's obviously a very active ecosystem.
I didn't realise PureConnect was originally created by another company.
Unfortunately, I won't be at Xperience this year. I would have loved to have met you too. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to come, but my brother very inconveniently booked his wedding for the same date 😃

Yes. It was the company that originally created what's recently been known as Genesys PureConnect. I started with them in March, 1999, and for about 10 years I was the admin for their Community (amongst many other things). It was all-volunteer back then, and not anywhere as slick as it is now :-)

@George Ganahl If you don't mind me asking, what was 'Interactive Intelligence'? Was that an old product name?

@Lucas Woodward Thank you for the compliment to the community. I spent some lonely years administering the old Interactive Intelligence community, and it is wonderful to see what this effort has grown into.
