Genesys Cloud provides comprehensive business continuity options to maintain contact center operations during various outage scenarios, including internet failures, voice service disruptions, phone registration issues, and BYOC Premises Edge failures. The platform supports multiple mitigation strategies: for internet outages, organizations can deploy wireless hotspots, enable work-from-home capabilities with remote or WebRTC phones, or implement redundant internet paths and AWS Direct Connect; for voice outages, web chat and email serve as alternative communication channels with website notifications to redirect customers; for phone registration failures, agents can be preconfigured with Genesys Cloud WebRTC or remote phones; and for BYOC Premises Edge failures, failed edges should be toggled to Out of Service status and restarted, with phone redundancy enabling automatic reregistration. Genesys recommends deploying edges in an N+1 redundancy configuration to meet maximum concurrent call load requirements. Organizations may encounter two critical operational issues during service disruptions: agents unable to transition to On Queue status and agents unable to log in to the platform. For On Queue status issues, organizations should avoid scheduling shift changes during outages and consider implementing transfer-to-user or transfer-to-number actions as workarounds for group ring phone numbers. For login failures affecting new agents, shift changes should be postponed and organizations should contact Genesys Cloud Product Support to explore alternate authentication methods. Additional preparedness measures include maintaining cell phone or analog phone lines for emergencies, avoiding shift changes during login failures, and transferring interactions to group ring numbers when agents cannot go On Queue. Organizations should review these scenarios and preconfigure applicable options aligned with their business continuity strategy to ensure alternate channel availability during unexpected failures and maintain operational resilience.
