And during the recent Genesys analyst conference, it was revealed that Apple asked Genesys to develop an application for the upcoming iPad tablet.

In 2008 AT&T won a Genesys Customer Innovation Award. In 2009 InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) was prominently featured and asked to present in G-Force Orlando — IHG uses AT&T to host Genesys in the cloud.
