On July 2, 2026, NICE Ltd. (NASDAQ:NICE) said European technology company Sopra Steria has deployed its CXone platform to equip customer service agents with agentic AI capabilities. Sopra Steria employs about 50,000 people across 30 countries.

Sopra Steria has also rolled out Copilot for Agents across its service centers, enabling about 800 agents while supporting the company’s goal of answering 90% of calls within 20 seconds. Sopra Steria’s CTO Xavier Deweer called the deployment, completed within three months, a pivotal step in the company’s AI-driven transformation.

That announcement followed news on July 1, 2026, that NICE Ltd. (NASDAQ:NICE) launched its AI Specialization Program, a criteria-based recognition track within its NiCE 360 Partner Program. The company named six inaugural AI Specialization partners, including Accenture, Cirrus, Deloitte, TTEC and Route101.
