History and when NICE Ltd. was founded
NICE Ltd. was founded in 1986 in Israel as a technology company focused on developing advanced voice-recording and analysis systems for the aviation and defense sectors.
In its early years, NICE built expertise in capturing and analyzing critical communications, a foundation that later enabled expansion into corporate applications.
As demand grew for reliable recording and monitoring systems in financial institutions and customer-service operations, the company began supplying solutions to commercial enterprises.
During the 1990s, NICE broadened its offering to include quality management, interaction analytics and monitoring tools. As contact centers expanded globally, the company positioned itself as a key provider of software supporting operational efficiency.
In 1996, NICE completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq, enabling international expansion, acquisitions and increased investment in research and development.
Throughout the 2000s, NICE acquired several companies to strengthen its capabilities in public safety, fraud prevention, financial compliance and large-scale analytics. These acquisitions aligned with rising demand for data-driven insights and advanced risk-management technology.
The company also increased its presence in North America and deepened industry specialization. Beginning in the 2010s, NICE accelerated its transition to cloud-based software, investing heavily in AI, machine learning and omnichannel customer-experience solutions.
A transformative milestone occurred in 2016 with the acquisition of inContact, which expanded NICE into a leading provider of cloud contact-center technology and positioned it at the forefront of the customer-experience market.
Between 2020 and 2024, NICE experienced strong demand for cloud-native platforms and AI automation as enterprises modernized their operations. The company expanded the reach of its CXone platform, enhanced public-safety solutions, integrated generative AI capabilities and strengthened global distribution.
