Web Collaboration • Most customer web applications can be adapted to interface with ICM • Use standard HTML/CGI/Servlets (URL encoded parameters) • API provided for applet or application development • Customer can develop their own applets or standalone applications that use API to place or receive calls • Interface with contact router to determine best route, customize routing or collect centralized information about sites
Web Chat • Changes to the User Interface can be made to suit business needs: • font size • color • framed interface • drop down canned responses • button label • aspect ratio • logo
Security • Interface resides outside secure, internal LANs • Allows components to receive data traffic necessary for functionality • Off-loads H.323 voice traffic from internal LANs • Minimizes impact on firewall rules for internal LANs • Uses specific administerable TCP ports • 64 Bit Encryption Between ICM and Applet for text chat and page push • Supports SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
E-Mail • POP3 Compliant • Browser Based Agent Interface • Canned Responses • File Attachments • Auto -Acknowledgement • Subject Line Routing
Conclusions • Concepts common in conventional customer care centers carry naturally to multimedia sessions. • Careful choices of standards and architecture allow straightforward customization an leverage of existing infrastructure (systems and people).
