Strong Double Digit Growth in Operating Income and Earnings Per Share Recurring Revenue Increased to 72% of Total Revenue
"The results reported for the third quarter of 2018 reflect our continued focus on driving excellent execution around our strategic pillars of cloud, analytics and artificial intelligence that led to strong growth on both the top and bottom lines. As we look forward to ending the year on a high note, we now expect to exit 2018 with a cloud revenue run rate of $550 million up from our previous expectation of $500 million, while continuing to drive profitability," said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE.
Mr. Eilam continued, "CXone, our open cloud platform which has gained tremendous market presence among our customers and high regard from industry analysts in just a little over one year since it was introduced, has been our vehicle to deliver our strategic pillars to the customer engagement market. We are now proceeding on a similar course with X-Sight, which was announced just a few weeks ago. X-Sight is the industrys first financial crime and compliance platform-as-a-service that combines advanced analytics and AI, automated data management, and robotics all delivered through the cloud.
"It is clearly evident that the platform strategy embodies the present and future for NICE. With X-Sight and CXone, we now have two significant, market leading, open, cloud platforms to help further penetrate our large and growing addressable market."
