NICE Ltd. NICE stock is trading higher after the company announced a deal valued at over $100 million.

The Details: NICE’s CXone will replace current incumbents in the Asia-Pacific region after the company secured the 8-digit ACV deal.

This historic deal is representative of the enterprise cloud inflection point we are currently witnessing. AI is intensifying cloud adoption as enterprises realize that to effectively implement CX AI, they must consolidate operations onto a single, interaction-centric platform. This is driving unprecedented adoption of CXone.”
