Cisco MediaSense Release 8.5(4) 
Product Overview 
Cisco
®
 MediaSense is an open-standards, network-based, scalable platform that supports recording, playback, live 
streaming, and storage of media, including audio and video, with rich recording metadata. It provides an efficient, 
cost-effective platform for capturing conversations between businesses and their customers. The conversations 
then can be examined by third-party analytics applications from Cisco technology partners to provide a variety of 
valuable business functions, including regulatory compliance review, quality management, service optimization, 
legal discovery, business intelligence gathering, agent training, and real-time guidance that can dramatically 
improve customer care. 
Business Value 
Contact centers handle thousands of customer conversations a day, but unfortunately much of the enterprise 
intelligence that could be gleaned from those conversations is never used - because it is either too expensive to 
capture or too difficult to mine for useful information. Cisco solves these challenges by recording conversations on 
the network - rather than on a device - simplifying the architecture, lowering costs, and providing optimum 
scalability. 
Just as important, the Cisco network-based recording approach allows for quick availability of the captured media 
for different applications - regardless of location - through simple application programming interfaces (APIs). These 
interfaces implement open web standards, enabling a new ecosystem of applications from Cisco technology 
partners that can gather useful information from conversations, either in real time or afterward. Such information 
can provide insights into caller concerns, guiding customer service agents toward speedy first-call resolution, 
thereby improving agent productivity while increasing customer satisfaction. With Cisco, gaining valuable business 
intelligence from customer conversations is no longer a daunting challenge.

Router blade deployment 
●  Cisco MediaSense can now be deployed on the Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE910) blade with 
Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) routers, so you can use the application 
efficiently in small-scale and distributed, branch-office deployments on a local-site router. 
(Note: Media forking still occurs at the phone or at Cisco Unified Border Element, as described in the 
“Product Compatibility” section in Table 2)
