Local branch recording with centralized monitoring and administration makes it possible to use a
reduced footprint to record many distributed branches, significantly improving ease of
management and administration. This approach also optimizes network utilization, minimizes WAN
bandwidth and QoS concerns associated with real-time media transport and ensures high-
availability recording in case of WAN failure, for total compliance with regulatory requirements.
How It Works
As Figure 1 illustrates, the NICE Network Embedded VoIP Logger is a software component that
runs on Cisco’s AXP module and captures voice packets that are traveling through the Cisco
integrated services router (ISR). Audio data is stored locally, and thereafter forwarded to be
archived at the data center during off-peak hours.

As the figure shows, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) cluster is deployed at the
organization’s main data center with the NICE Perform Solution. Cisco UCM provides the call
control, telephony and communications services in the main office and branch. The NICE Perform
software suite provides a full range of recording application analytics for evaluating the complete
customer interaction. Through a computer telephony integration (CTI) interface to the Cisco UCM,
the NICE Perform software enables:
●
Centralized management and monitoring
●
Computer telephony integration (CTI) to the Cisco UCM cluster
●
Centralized recorded call and call detail record database storage
●
Monitoring, playback, quality management and analytics
