Source-derived summary

Interactive Intelligence was a telecommunications software and cloud computing development company that provided unified business communications solutions for call centers, Voice over IP companies, and business process automation.

In December 2016, the company was acquired by Genesys for $1.4 billion and its products were integrated into the PureCloud, PureConnect and PureEngage customer engagement platforms.

Products

The company's core product offering was the Interaction Center Platform, which centralized multi-channel business interactions and business processes. This platform could be delivered as either a premises or hosted cloud computing offering. In addition to its software, the company provided add-on professional services, support, and education for its product line. The company had partnerships with Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Polycom, and Salesforce.com.

Genesys developed a customer experience platform portfolio from Interactive Intelligence technology. PureCloud is a contact center as a service (CCaaS) cloud platform that manages customer communication with comprehensive features. PureConnect, formerly called the Interaction Center Platform, integrates customer engagement functionality in one application suite. PureEngage is an omnichannel customer engagement for large organizations.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Interactive Intelligence” is software company. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Interactive, Intelligence and Software, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1994. For this dossier, Interactive, Intelligence and Software is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “software company” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6045277. VIAF identifies the subject as 135092309. The Library of Congress control number is n2007055218. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2016.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
