What does the Cisco Contact Center Do? 
The Cisco Contact Center adds a number of features that make interacting 
with customers on the phone easier.  This section lists the features.  If you 
are not sure what a specific feature does, their use is described in Chapter 
2:  Working in the Cisco Contact Center for Microsoft CRM. 
It adds new functions that allow you to control your ACD session and 
work mode, to receive, make and control phone calls from within 
Microsoft CRM, and to execute a “screen pop” of customer information 
when you answer a customer call.

The Contact Center adds phone controls.  Use these to control your phone 
and manage your ACD session from within Microsoft CRM.  You will still 
need a telephone or a softphone to talk with customers, but you may use 
the Contact Center to perform all of the call and ACD session actions.
