Genesys Cloud CX professional services.
One accountable team. One proven method.

From the first discovery workshop to in-life support aligned to your Genesys Cloud CX support model, QVCCS delivers Genesys Cloud CX through a seven-stage lifecycle with a quality gate at every stage, standard templates for every artefact, and a multidisciplinary team mustered from our own bench of certified specialists.

Seven stages, each closed by a gate A bold royal blue track runs left to right through seven large numbered stages: Discover, Define, Design, Build, Prove, Transition and Run and evolve, with stage names alternating above and below the track. A green diamond between each pair of stages marks the quality gate that closes one stage before the next begins, and the track continues as a dashed line after Run and evolve.

01 · Our approach

One practice. One accountable team.

QVCCS takes a holistic, solution-orientated approach to every Genesys Cloud CX engagement. We muster the team the project needs from our own bench of certified specialists, shape it to the work, and take collective responsibility for the outcome.

  • We shape the teamArchitects, analysts, developers, telecoms and SIP engineers, testers, trainers and support engineers – drawn from our own bench and shaped to your project, not to a vacancy.
  • We own the outcomeRequirements, design, build, testing, cut-over and support are one accountable workstream, so nothing falls between suppliers or between stages.
  • Backed by the whole practiceEven when only one or two of us are visible to you, our design authority, the Practice Lead's engineering standards, four-eyes peer review and the full bench stand behind every decision.
  • Traceable from end to endEvery requirement is traced through design, build and test to sign-off in the Requirements Traceability Matrix, so quality is shown rather than claimed.

Quo vadis? · Discover

Where are you going?

Quo vadis is Latin for “where are you going?” It is the first question we ask on every engagement, and our discovery workshops start from these six.

  1. 01Where is your contact centre going?The outcome you want in two years' time, not only at go-live.
  2. 02Who are your customers?How they want to reach you, and what makes them leave or stay.
  3. 03What should your people experience?Agents, supervisors and the back office: tools, knowledge, schedules and coaching.
  4. 04Where does the truth live?CRM, ERP, billing, knowledge and data platforms, and how Genesys Cloud CX should reach them.
  5. 05Where should AI answer, assist or act?And where a person must always decide.
  6. 06How will you run and evolve it?Your support model, change cadence and governance after go-live.

02 · The QVCCS delivery method

Seven stages. Seven quality gates. No surprises.

The same disciplined lifecycle underpins every engagement, scaled to the size of the work – a single integration or a global migration. Each stage uses proven techniques and our standard templates, and closes only when its quality gate is passed.
