Service Communications Medium Between WFO solutions and Cisco Unified CCX
 illustrates a couple of integration points between the WFO solutions and Cisco Unified CCX 
system.
  •
Workforce Management - Uses the ACMI link to monitor agent's adherence to the schedules. It uses 
the ODBC link to download the historical data from Cisco Unified CCX database to generate the 
forecasting data.
  •
Quality Management - Uses JTAPI to monitor the call progress on the agent phone so that it knows 
when to start and stop the voice recording. It uses the ODBC link to download the agent, supervisor 
and team configuration data from Cisco Unified CCX database.
For more details on components architecture, deployment configuration and sizing, refer the Cisco 
Workforce Optimization System Configuration Guide

Cisco Unified CCX ASR and TTS
Cisco Unified CCX allows integration with Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) compliant 
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS) servers.   Nuance, Scansoft, and IBM 
are the only ASR and TTS providers that have been tested and will be supported. ASR and TTS software 
must be purchased from one of these vendors. These vendors can provide design and server sizing 
requirements for their software. Cisco no longer resells Nuance ASR and TTS as a Cisco Unified CCX 
option.
