Frequently Asked Questions About Five9

Everything you need to know before making a decision.

What is Five9 Fusion for Epic?
Five9 Fusion for Epic is a certified integration that connects the Five9 contact center platform directly to Epic EHR workflows. Agents see patient records, appointment history, and care team context before the call connects — with no rekeying or screen switching.
Does Five9 include a UCaaS platform?
No. Five9 is a pure CCaaS platform — it covers contact center agents, not general employee communications. Most Five9 customers pair it with a UCaaS platform like RingCentral or Microsoft Teams. Clearony will design the right combination for your organization.
Is Five9 worth the premium over Genesys or NICE?
For healthcare organizations running Epic, Five9's native EHR integration is unmatched and may justify the premium. For other industries, the Clearony scoring will determine which Gartner Leader is the best fit for your specific requirements.
