Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile
applications on fixed and mobile networks, enabling easy collaboration every time from
any workspace.
Product Overview
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise uses an IP infrastructure to deliver skills-based contact
routing, voice self-service, computer telephony integration (CTI), and multichannel contact
management. By combining multichannel automatic-call-distributor (ACD) functions with IP
telephony in a unified solution, Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise can help your company
rapidly deploy a distributed voice-over-IP (VoIP) contact center infrastructure.
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise segments customers, monitors resource availability, and
delivers each contact to the most appropriate resource in the enterprise. The software profiles
each customer contact using related data such as dialed number and calling line ID, caller-entered
digits, data submitted on a web form, and information obtained from a customer database lookup.
Simultaneously, the system monitors the resources available in the contact center to meet
customer needs, including agent skills and availability, interactive-voice-response (IVR) status,
and queue lengths.
This combination of customer and contact center data is processed through user-defined routing
scripts that graphically reflect your company’s business rules, enabling Cisco Unified Contact
Center Enterprise to route each contact to the right place. Wherever an agent is based, the system
delivers a rich set of call-event and customer-provided data to the targeted desktop as a contact
arrives, personalizing service and increasing efficiency. Throughout the process, distributed fault
tolerance helps ensure uninterrupted operation.
Features and Benefits
Routing Functions
The routing functions of Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise provide the intelligent distribution
of contacts as they enter the company’s network. When a contact requires redirection, Cisco
Unified Contact Center Enterprise applies business logic, sending the contact to the best available
enterprise resource. For contacts flowing between sites or among agents, skill groups, or IVRs, the
routing optimizes each customer’s interaction by retaining collected data, eliminating the need for
the customer to restate information.
Customer Profile Routing
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise extends the sources of data available for making contact
routing decisions and for populating agent desktop applications. For instance, Cisco Unified
Contact Center Enterprise can perform a lookup in your customer database during routing to guide
its decisions. You can also use information from customer relationship management (CRM)
applications to match customers with agents and expand the data available to screen pop
applications.
