Email Management
Customers are turning to company websites to locate information about products and services, to seek support, and
to conduct transactions. In addition, customers are seeking alternative ways, such as email, to contact customer
support centers, and the volume of incoming email interactions to contact centers is growing. Cisco Unified Contact
Center Express offers the Agent E-Mail feature for email management.
Agent E-Mail is a basic email queuing and response system, designed specifically for Cisco Agent Desktop for the
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express platform. Agent E-Mail is a zero-footprint feature that is tightly integrated into
the agent desktop embedded browser, with controls built into the toolbar and display. It enables contact centers to
queue and route email messages to staff and skilled agents, helping strike a balance between email and call-
handling activities.
Workforce Optimization, Quality Management, and Compliance Recording
Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization integrated with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express helps supervisors and
other managers align contact center performance with business objectives by integrating workforce optimization
within the team's daily workflow—combining agent and supervisor desktop tools in a composite application with
workforce optimization software to unify the entire customer interaction process.
Directly integrated with Cisco Supervisor Desktop, Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization unifies the tactical tools that
supervisors need to optimize team performance: Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization Workforce Management,
Quality Management, and Compliance Recording software. The Workforce Management component allows contact
center managers to develop schedules for multiple sites, manage critical performance indicators, and manage real-
time adherence to schedules. At the same time, the Quality Management software provides a voice transaction,
compliance, and evaluation solution, with optional, advanced, quality-management features such as screen
recording for agent performance optimization and dispute resolution. Compliance Recording enables simplified
telephony recording by using either preconfigured workflows with up to 100-percent recording or on-demand
recording through the recording application programming interface (API). Recordings can also be searched for and
replayed to verify compliance or resolve disputes.

Outbound Dialing Capabilities
The Cisco Outbound Option complements the powerful inbound call-handling capability of the Cisco Unified Contact
Center Express platform by offering blended preview outbound dialing capabilities. You can build campaigns to use
preview dialing that is integrated with inbound calls to provide a blended inbound/outbound solution. These blended
functions let agents serve both inbound calls and outbound campaign tasks when the inbound queue is empty,
allowing for the most efficient use of agent resources for both inbound calls and outbound campaigns.
Computer Telephony Integration
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express can integrate with any CRM or other application that can run on the agent's
Microsoft Windows desktop. Integration is achieved by using a powerful real-time programmable CTI workflow
engine that invokes keystroke-macro emulation to automate the transfer of caller-entered information, or performing
an external application action. Cisco Unified Contact Center Express provides powerful integration tools through
support for custom Java classes and methods that can be invoked under real-time workflow control. These features
facilitate the integration of Cisco Agent Desktop with other Windows and web-based applications with minimal
software development.
