Third-Party Database and Cisco Resource Manager Connectivity
Carefully examine connectivity of any Unified CCE solution component to an external device and/or
software to determine the overall effect on the solution. Cisco Unified CCE solutions are very flexible
and customizable, but they can also be complex. Contact centers are often mission-critical,
revenue-generating, and customer-facing operations. Therefore, Cisco recommends that you engage a
Cisco Partner (or Cisco Advanced Services) with the appropriate experience and certifications to help
you design your Unified CCE solution.

Extended Call Context (ECC)
The ECC usage impacts PG, Router, Logger, and network bandwidth. There are many ways that ECC
can be configured and used. The capacity impact will vary based on ECC configuration and should be
handled on a case-by-case basis.

Peripheral Gateway and Server Options
A Unified ICM Peripheral Gateway (PG) translates messages coming from the Unified CM servers, the
Unified IP IVR, or other third-party automatic call distributors (ACDs) or voice response units (VRUs)
into common internally formatted messages that are then sent to and understood by the Unified ICM. In
the reverse, it also translates Unified ICM messages so that they can be sent to and understood by the
peripheral devices.
