Through a combination of technologies and design that allows the contact center caller and remote agent to feel as if they are in the same room, the Cisco Contact Center Enterprise portfolio has the potential to provide great productivity benefits and transform your business.

Video Remote Expert allows video callers to be queued. Optionally, with CVP Video In Queue (ViQ), the caller can interact through high definition video prompt or navigate a video menu using DTMF keys.
Video Remote Expert is a subset of Video Remote Expert functionality and addresses a specific use case with a video kiosk that can connect a customer from kiosk to a remote expert agent with the press of a single button. The customer and the agent are then connected with a high definition video feed and can share documents back and forth as well as perform financial transactions. The remote agent can also move the camera so that the agent can show the customer how to perform a task. The customer from the kiosk can be offered a video while the call is in queue waiting for a remote expert. Optionally, with CVP Video In Queue (ViQ), the caller can interact through high definition video prompt or navigate a video menu using DTMF keys.
