Genesys Awarded Two 2023 Global AWS Partner Awards
Bengaluru, November 30, 2023 — Genesys®, a global cloud leader in AI-powered experience orchestration, today announced it is a recipient of two 2023 Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards, recognizing leaders around the globe playing a key role in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Announced during a Partner Awards Gala at AWS re: Invent 2023, the Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognise a wide range of AWS Partners, whose business models have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year. Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize partners whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS as they work with customers.
In the face of evolving customer expectations, it’s increasingly complex for organizations to ensure that data privacy, security, regulatory, and reliability requirements are met while keeping up with the rapid pace of innovation they need to stay competitive. Through its use of 20 AWS Regions, the Genesys CloudTM platform enables more than 4,500 organizations in over 100 countries to orchestrate personalized experiences at scale to drive business outcomes and stronger customer and employee loyalty through the most innovative AI, automation, and digital technologies on the market.
“The power of the AWS and Genesys collaboration is what sets this us apart, bringing our joint clients and partners the transformative capabilities they need to deliver the best customer experiences in the world,” said Bernadette Wightman, Genesys senior vice president, worldwide partner, and alliances. “Using the global infrastructure of AWS, we’re putting Genesys Cloud within reach for even more organizations around the world. Receiving this recognition reaffirms the strength of our collaboration and the value that we’re bringing to our customers together.”
Dedicated to using its products for positive impact, Genesys has a goal to touch more than 100 million lives by 2030 through its work with nonprofits. Charitable organizations often run with lean budgets, limiting the resources they need to aid their communities daily. With the Genesys Charitable Offer, Genesys is enabling eligible charities to extend their reach by leveraging AI and automation. Now, these organizations can focus more on providing support and empathy to their communities — and less on figuring out how to stretch limited funding.
“We’re acutely aware every dollar spent on IT is a precious investment given the increased need for support services for survivors,” said Marty Hand, chief technology officer for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. “So, consolidating onto the Genesys single cloud platform was hugely attractive — not only to reduce IT cost and effort, but also to transform through greater resourcing agility, system resilience, and the ability to expand our services to neighboring cities and towns.”
For the second year in a row, Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards included a self-nomination process across several award categories, which are awarded at both the geo and global levels. All AWS Partners were invited to participate and submit a nomination. Award submissions were reviewed by a third party, Canalys, and selected with special emphasis placed on customer success use cases presented in the nomination form.
In addition, there were a number of data-driven award categories, which were comprised of a unique set of metrics that helped measure AWS Partners’ performance within the past year. Canalys audited the datasets used to ensure that all measurements and calculations were objective and correct in nature.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global program focused on helping companies build successful AWS-based businesses or solutions by providing business, technical, marketing, and go-to-market support. The APN includes independent software vendors (ISVs) and systems integrators (SIs) around the world, with AWS Partner participation growing significantly during the past 12 months. A panel of AWS experts selected the winners based on strict criteria with a third-party audit conducted by Canalys.
Genesys has been selected as Customer Experience Partner of the Year – Global, recognizing AWS’s top ISV Partners with a horizontal business area focus on Customer Experience. Genesys was also selected as Social Impact Partner of the Year—North America, recognizing partners committed to giving back to society through their people, resources, and technology, leading initiatives to change our world for the better. Additionally, the company was named a finalist for Federal Government Partner of the Year—APJ for its strength in delivering innovative mission-based wins for the Federal Government.

In line with an increase in TOI, PBILDT and PAT levels of the company increased by 50% and 68% i.e., to Rs. 241.67 crores (PY: 161.06 crores) and Rs. 136.5 crores respectively in FY23 led by improved sales realizations. Companies’ ability to pass on the rise in raw material costs to customers, flexible product mix coupled with cost reduction measures undertaken i.e., Co2 recovery plant for acidification process which acted as a backward integration helped the company in fetching better profitability. With higher sales realization, PBILDT margin of the company improved by 223 bps i.e., to 17.25% in FY23 (FY22: 15.02%). Also, PAT margin of the company improved by 216 bps i.e., to 9.75% in FY23.
During H1FY24, TOI of VCL (On a consolidated basis) reported was Rs. 613.84 crores which is marginally lower by 2.88% compared to the corresponding H1 of previous year on account of correction in selling prices in tandem with a decline in raw material prices.

ABB launches digital asset performance management platform for instrumentation
BANGALORE, INDIA, NOVEMBER 29, 2023: ABB has launched abb ability™ smartmaster, a comprehensive asset performance management platform for verification and condition monitoring of instrumentation and field devices in the water, wastewater, chemical, oil & gas, and other industries, in India. smartmaster gathers, analyzes, and verifies diagnostic data from instruments remotely, without interrupting current measurement tasks.
The platform can be used with a range of ABB and third-party instruments, such as flow meters, level meters, temperature, and pressure sensors. Available as an on-premise or cloud-based solution, SmartMaster sends a valuable fleet-level overview from the field straight to the customer’s phone, tablet, or other devices.
SmartMaster addresses key challenges for industrial companies such as managing the sheer volume of instruments that are installed on any given plant. Many facilities typically have hundreds or even thousands of devices, some of which may be installed in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
Another big challenge is applications and data running in silos. This limits insights and efficiency of operations. By getting better, actionable insights, industrial companies can see both increased efficiency and environmental benefits.
“Plant operators are expected to increase efficiency as well as become more sustainable and for this, it’s critical that each device, each instrument performs optimally in the industrial process,” said Jacques Mulbert, Division President, ABB Measurement & Analytics. “With hundreds of field devices working in the background, optimal performance is impossible to achieve without digital service technology. The ABB Ability™ SmartMaster connects the physical and digital worlds, ensuring that instruments perform optimally.”
The platform offers extended possibilities for device optimization and maintenance. With SmartMaster, plant operators can access data on instrument status and identify in advance any potential issues that could affect measurement performance or result in unplanned downtime.
This knowledge helps them to plan servicing, spare part orders, and device replacement. SmartMaster provides the information as a calendar view analysis and an analytical report of failure scenarios.
SmartMaster is part of ABB Measurement & Analytics digital suite of solutions that enable optimized plant operations. The suite comprises ABB Ability™ Smart Device Manager, ABB Ability™ Verification for measurement devices, and ABB Ability™ SmartMaster.
ABB’s Process Automation business automates, electrifies, and digitalizes industrial operations that address a wide range of essential needs – from supplying energy, water, and materials, to producing goods and transporting them to market.
